The story underlying this ethnography began with the recent discovery and commercialization of the remnant of an ancient “queendom†on the Sichuan-Tibet border.

Tenzin Jinba’s research examines the consequences of development of the queendom label for local ethnic; gender; and political identities and for state-society relations.
