The youth on whom this ethnography focuses live in a community that has long been romanticized by Tibetans and non-Tibetans alike, positioning these youth to see themselves as keepers of a modern day Shangri-la. Through this ethnography - based on a decade of research - Heidi Swank suggests that through seemingly mundane writings (grocery lists, text messages, et cetera) these youth are shifting what Shangri-la means by renogotiating important aspects of life in this Tibetan community to better match their lived - not romanticized - experiences as exiles in rural India.Brill's Tibetan studies library ;v. 34.TibetansIndiaMcleodganjCase studiesYouthIndiaMcleodganjCase studiesImmigrant youthIndiaMcleodganjCase studiesYouths' writingsSocial aspectsWritten communicationSocial aspectsGroup identityTibet RegionMcleodganj (India)Emigration and immigrationSocial aspectsTibet RegionCivilizationTibetansYouthImmigrant youthYouths' writingsSocial aspects.Written communicationSocial aspects.Group identity305.800951/5Swank Heidi1523316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791324203321Rewriting Shangri-La3763480UNINA
