Prisoners Of Shangrila Is A Provocative Analysis Of The Romance Of Tibet, A Romance That, Even As It Is Invoked By Tibetan Lamas Living In Exile, Ultimately Imprisons Those Who Seek The Goal Of Tibetan Independence From Chinese Occupation.'Lopez Lifts The Veil On America'S Romantic Vision Of Tibet To Reveal A Country And A Spiritual History More Complex And Less Ideal Than Popular Perceptions Allow. . . . Lively And Engaging, Lopez'S Book Raises Important Questions About How Eastern Religions Are Often Coopted, Assimilated And Misunderstood By Western Culture.'Publishers Weekly'Proceeding With Care And Precision, Lopez Reveals The Extent To Which Scholars Have Behaved Like Intellectual Colonialists. . . . Someone Had To Burst The Bubble Of Pop Tibetology, And Few Could Have Done It As Resoundingly As Lopez.'Booklist'Fascinating. . . [A] Provocative Exploration. Lopez Conveys The Full Dizziness Of The Western Encounter With Tibet And Tibetan Buddhism.'Fred Pheil, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review'A Timely And Courageous Exploration. . . . [Lopez'S] Book Will Sharpen The Terms Of The Debate Over What The Tibetans And Their Observers Can Or Should Be Doing About The Place And The Idea Of Tibet. And That Alone Is What Will Give Us All Back Our Shambhala.'Jonathan Spence, Lingua Franca Book Review'Lopez'S Most Important Theme Is That We Should Be Wary Of The Idea . . . That Tibet Has What The West Lacks, That If We Were Only To Look There We Would Find The Answers To Our Problems.
