Sienna Radha Craig

I am scholar-teacher of cultural and medical anthropology as well as a creative writer. Born and raised in California and at home in northern New England, my commitments to Nepali and Tibetan communities circle between Asia and North America, and extend across more than 25 years.

I write and publish across genres, from academic anthropology and public, collaborative scholarship to fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and children’s literature.

THE ENDS OF KINSHIP

From a high Himalayan kingdom to the streets of Brooklyn and Queens, The Ends of Kinship explores dynamics of migration and social change, asking how individuals, families, and communities care for each other and carve out spaces of belonging in the midst of rapid social, economic, and environmental change.

MUSTANG IN BLACK AND WHITE

Against the grain of glossy, idealized images of Tibetan and Himalayan lifeworlds, Mustang in Black and White illuminates the quotidian beauty and cultural complexity of this region. Kevin Bubriski’s masterful black-and-white portraits of this place and its people are coupled with Sienna Craig’s thick descriptions of what is, and is not, seen through the eye of the camera.
