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.
