In Taming Tibet, Emily T. Yeh examines how Chinese development projects in Tibet served to consolidate state space and power. The master narrative of the PRC stresses generosity: the state and Han migrants selflessly provide development to the supposedly backward Tibetans, raising the living standards of the Han's "little brothers." Arguing that development is in this context a form of "indebtedness engineering," Yeh depicts development as a hegemonic project that simultaneously recruits Tibetans to participate in their own marginalization while entrapping them in gratitude to the Chinese state. The resulting transformations of the material landscape advance the project of state territorialization. Exploring the complexity of the Tibetan response to--and negotiations with--development, Taming Tibet focuses on three key aspects of China's modernization: agrarian change, Chinese migration, and urbanization"--$cPublisher's Web site. 606 $aEconomic development$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region 606 $aEconomic assistance, Chinese 606 $aTibetans$xEthnic identity 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xEthnic relations 607 $aChina$xEthnic relations 610 $aprotests in Lhasa, Tibetan livelihoods, territorialization, Chinese migration, and urbanization. 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEconomic assistance, Chinese. 615 0$aTibetans$xEthnic identity. 676 $a951/.505 700 $aYeh$b Emily T$01532942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791079503321 996 $aTaming Tibet$93779545 997 $aUNINA
