Covering the social, cultural, and political development of
Tibet from the seventh century to the modern period, this resource
reproduces essential, hard-to-find essays from the past fifty years
of Tibetan studies, along with several new contributions. Beginning
with Tibet's emergence as a regional power and concluding with its
profound contemporary transformations, the collection is both a
general and specific history, connecting the actions of
individuals, communities, and institutions to broader historical
trends shaping Asia and the world. With contributions from
American, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Tibetan
scholars, the anthology reflects the international character of
Tibetan studies and its multiple, interdisciplinary perspectives.
By far the most concise scholarly anthology on Tibetan civilization
in any Western language, this reader draws a clear portrait of
Tibet's history, its relation to its neighbors, and its role in
world affairs.
