books: Il Lato Invisible del Paradiso
In April 2009 Luke collaborated with Italian anthropologist Giovanni Da Col (MA, Mphil, Phd Candidate) from the Department of Social Anthropology and Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) at the University of Cambridge to publish a book titled
'Il Lato Invisible del Paradiso - Pellegrinaggi ai Confini del Tibet' or 'The Invisible Side of Paradise - A Pilgrimage in to Tibet's Borderlands' in english.
The book was published in Italy by Egon Edizioni (www.egonedizioni.it) and will be launched at The Fiera International book festival in Torina, Italy, in May 2009.
Over a period of 5 years Luke has documented this remote region of NW Yunnan Province and Eastern Tibet covering every aspect of the area's culture as diverse as Tibetan Catholic enclaves and sacred pilgrimages to salt mining and leprosy sufferers.
