The Museum on the Roof of the World: Art, Politics and the Representation of Tibet
This 314-page book is an original study based on extensive research in museums, archives, exhibitions, and Tibetan communities around the world. Research began during a Leverhulme Trust/British Academy Senior Research Fellowship (2006-7) and continued thereafter alongside regular academic and curatorial duties. More than six months of fieldwork was conducted in multiple locations (India, China, and Tibetan diaspora) where access and interviewing is not always easy. Research on previously unstudied and/or unpublished material was carried out in eighteen museums both in Europe and Asia. At least five of the chapters in this book could have been standalone articles for specialist journals.
