Mapping Shangrila: Contested Landscapes in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands - Studies on Ethnic Groups in China
Emily T Yeh
In 2001 the Chinese government announced that the precise location of Shangrila - a place that previously had existed only in fiction - had been identified in Zhongdian County, Yunnan. This book advances a view of landscapes as media of governance, representation, resistance, and examining how they are reshaping cultural economies.
