The book builds upon anthropology's qualitative approach to personhood, power and space to rethink the premises and consequences of economic development campaigns in China's multiethnic northwestern province of Qinghai.Charlene Makley considers Tibetans' encounters with development projects as first and foremost a historically situated interpretive politics, in which people negotiate the presence or absence of moral and authoritative persons and their associated jurisdictions and powers. Because most Tibetans believe the active presence of deities and other invisible beings has been the ground of power, causation, and fertile or fortunate landscapes, Makley also takes divine beings seriously, refusing to relegate them to a separate, less consequential, "religious" or "premodern" world. The Battle for Fortune, therefore challenges readers to grasp the unique reality of Tibetans' values and fears in the face of their marginalization in China. Makley uses this approach to encourage a more multidimensional and dynamic understanding of state-local relations than mainstream accounts of development and unrest that portray Tibet and China as a kind of yin-and-yang pair for models of statehood and development in a new global order. 410 0$aStudies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 606 $aTibetans$zChina$zReb-gong Gser-mo-ljongs$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aTibetans$zChina$zReb-gong Gser-mo-ljongs$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 607 $aReb-gong Gser-mo-ljongs (China)$xEthnic relations 607 $aReb-gong Gser-mo-ljongs (China)$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aTibetans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aTibetans$xEconomic conditions 676 $a951/.5 700 $aMakley$b Charlene$f1964-$01622039 702 $aMakley$b Charlene, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816479503321 996 $aThe battle for fortune$93955663 997 $aUNINA
