The rebirth of Bodh Gaya Buddhism and the making of a World Heritage site / David Geary   Author:  Geary, David, 1976- author Title:  The rebirth of Bodh Gaya Buddhism and the making of a World Heritage site / David Geary Publisher:  Seattle University of Washington Press [2017] Description:  xv, 243 pages illustrations, maps 24 cm Series:  Global South Asia Summary:  More than two thousand years ago, in a village in North India, Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment while sitting under what became known as the Bodhi tree. This multilayered historical ethnography of Bodh Gaya explores the spatial politics surrounding the 2002 transformation of the Mahabodhi Temple Complex into a Unesco World Heritage Site. The rapid change from a small town with an agricultural economy to an international destination that attracts hundreds of thousands of Buddhist pilgrims and visitors each year has given rise to conflicts over space and meaning among Bodh Gaya's diverse constituencies, from Buddhist monks and nuns, to hotel and restaurant owners, to residents and tourists, to local and national government. Through the case of Bodh Gaya, David Geary examines the modern revival of Buddhism in India, the colonial and postcolonial dynamics surrounding archaeological heritage and sacred space, and the role of tourism and urban development Book jacket Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references and index Contents:  Acknowledgments -- Note on Translation and Transliteration -- Map of Bodh Gaya -- Introduction -- The Light of Asia -- Rebuilding the Navel of the Earth -- The Afterlife of Zamindari -- Tourism in the Global Bazaar -- A Master Plan for World Heritage -- Conclusion Subject:  Mahabodhi Temple Complex (Buddh Gaya, India) Mahabodhi Temple Complex (Buddh Gaya, India) Heritage tourism -- Social aspects -- India -- Buddh Gaya Buddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages -- Social aspects -- India -- Buddh Gaya Tourism -- Religious aspects -- Buddhism Tourisme culturel -- Aspect social -- Inde -- Bodh-Gayā.
