Emily Yeh Discusses "Taming Tibet" with "New Books in East Asian Studies"
On June 15, Emily Yeh, chair of the Department of Geography here at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä, was interviewed by New Books in East Asian Studies, about her recent book, Taming Tibet: Landscape Transformation and the Gift of Chinese Development, published in 2013.
Taming Tibet is "an award-winning critical analysis of the production and transformation of the Tibetan landscape since 1950, construing development as a 'state project that is presented as a gift to the Tibetan people' especially as it works to territorialize Tibet."
Carla Nappi, writer of the article on New Books in East Asian Studies, found Taming Tibet to be a "moving, powerful, and compellingly argued book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in modern China, Tibet, development, and/or urban studies."
