Crafting a Tibetan Terroir
How wine has transformed Tibetan land and lives Set in the Sino-Tibetan border region renamed "Shangri-La" by the Chinese government for tourism promotion, Crafting a Tibetan Terroir considers how the deployment of the French notion of terroir works to create new forms of ethno-regional identities and village landscapes through the production of Tibetan wine as a commodity.

Rice, Wine, Grapes, and Land in Shangri-La
This paper analyzes agricultural pathways and the impacts of land requisition from dam construction in a Catholic community in Tibetan Southwest China.

This unique agriculture is due to the community being located at the boundary between two larger culinary/a…

These communities respond by seasonally seek…

Villagers have bee…
