Rezensionen
"The editor and authors deserve appreciation for their passion in researching a community on which there is an absolute lack of previous literature. ... this book is successful in communicating the painstaking details of the now global Lhotsampa community. An essential read, it deserves to be at the top of the table of human rights policy makers, sociologists, anthropologists, development studies experts and of course, those pursuing research on Gross National Happiness." (Rituparna Bhattacharyya, South Asia Research, Vol. 37 (1), February, 2017)
