  abstract: Ends of Kinship explores dynamics of migration and social change between Nepal and New York City. It asks how individuals, families and communities care for each other and carve out spaces of belonging from high mountain villages in the Himalayan region of Mustang, on the border with Tibet, to the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Drawing on more than two decades of fieldwork with people in and from Mustang, this ethnography engages with foundational questions in cultural anthropology. What makes and sustains kinship? What does education prepare us for? How are traditions governing birth, death, marriage and moral economies defended and transformed? How do different generations abide with and understand each other? The Tibetan Buddhist notion of khora encompasses cyclic existence as well as the daily act of circumambulating the sacred in order to make and remake oneself. Sienna Craig draws on this concept to think about cycles of mobility and patterns of world-making between Nepal and New York. Stylistically, Ends of Kinship contributes to experiments in ethnographic writing. Its core chapters are written as teachable and publicly accessible literary ethnography. Between the chapters sit short stories that present a sense of some of the most difficult aspects of migration while respecting the privacy of the author's informants. Line drawings by Tibetan thangka artist Tenzin Norbu illustrate the contrasting worlds in which Mustangis now encounter the central life experiences addressed in each chapter.
