Politics, history, and religion have long lent Tibet a glamorous
air, particularly in the West. But Tibet can be understood in an
astonishingly wide variety of other ways, including linguistic,
ecological, environmental and climatological, geographical,
geological, economic, biologic, sociologic, medicinal. Tibetan
Studies in Comparative Perspective touches on all the elements of
the Tibet issue, offering invaluable insight to a wide variety of
readers, from specialists to those with a general interest in the
topic. By putting readers into the shoes of all the stakeholders,
from the Dalai Lama in his home in exile and the various Tibetan
exile communities, to decision makers in Beijing, New Delhi,
Washington and London, the issues at stake come into bold relief.
Furthermore, the book examines the potential opportunities that lay
ahead, documents where and how Tibetans have been dispersed and
offers a glimpse into the social and political undercurrents
sending shudders through this exiled nation. With the chasm between
exiles and indigenous Tibetans growing ever-larger, what challenges
do Tibetans confront just to remain Tibetan? And how will this
shape the future of their political movement? The book provides a
timely re-examination of the contemporary predicament of Tibetans,
both in and out of Tibet. This book was published as two special
issues of Asian Ethnicity.
