How and why do some places in the world become symbols of illusive
paradise, and what does this mean for their residents? Moving
between anthropology, tourism, and the increasingly influential
cultural heritage movement, Partners in Paradise examines the
origins of a Euro-American fascination with places imagined to
exist outside of Modernity. Focusing on the emergence of Tibet and
Bali as, in turn, anthropological field sites, tourist
destinations, and cultural heritage sites, it argues that the work
of academic researchers, tourists, and cultural preservationists
inform and constitute each other, in the process constructing
particular places as "paradise". Unpacking this process is a
necessary first step in understanding how Tibetans and Balinese
negotiate their place in a modern world in which the meaning of
"paradise" is contested. Drawing on anthropology, history, and
tourist studies, Partners in Paradise offers a unique lens on the
politics of development, modernization, and cultural preservation.
