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 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, 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."
