Postcoloniality, representation, and world politics -- Imagining the other -- Poetics of exotica Tibet -- The west and the identity of "Tibet" -- The politics of Tibetan (trans)national identity -- Postcoloniality and reimag(in)ing Tibetanness
Summary
Dibyesh Anand lays bare the strategies by which Exotica Tibet and Tibetanness have been constructed and investigates the impact these constructions have had on those who are being represented. In this masterfully synthetic work, Anand establishes that postcoloniality provides new insights into themes of representation and identity and demonstrates how IR as a discipline can meaningfully expand its focus beyond the West
