Book excerpt: "A unique study of the ways in which the idea of Tibet has been imagined by Tibetan artists both in exile in India and in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (T.A.R.) of the People's Republic of China ... Based on fieldwork conducted over a six-year period during which the author interviewed and photographed Tibetan artists at work in their communities, Harris's study explores how 'Tibet' came to be imagined anew ... provides a fascinating portrait of Tibetan art produced in two parallel but connected worlds--the world of Tibetan refugee painters living in exile and the world of Tibetan painters who remain in Tibet"--Back cover.
