“Kauffmann has made an important contribution to scholarship on the transnational sphere of international development as it concerns Tibetans. This book, which aims to give readers the Tibetan perspective on the phenomenon, is an essential update to previous works on the subject.” • Julia Hess, University of New Mexico
“The way in which Tibetan religion has been essentialized, commodified, and instrumentalized [in this book] is really very good indeed… The description and discussion of the Tibet movement… is first-rate.” • David N. Gellner, Oxford University
Thomas Kauffmann is the Director of an International NGO and holds a Doctorate in Anthropology from the University of Oxford.
