This volume is unique in the literature concerning both the
sociology of education and Tibetan society. It aims to propose a
Tibetan sociology of education, something that no other author has
attempted, as well as to provide insights into the nature of
Tibetan society both historically and currently through the
application of Giddens' structuration theory supplemented by the
work of ancient Tibetan philosopher Je TsongKhapa. Previous Western
accounts of Tibetan history and society have lacked "insider"
perspectives as well as access to original documentation in the
Tibetan language. The author of this volume is Tibetan and does not
experience these limitations. He has also taught sociology at the
university level and in 1999 published a general textbook on
sociology in Tibetan, which attempted to draw on Western theories
and apply them to the Tibetan context. In short, the author appears
to be highly credible in taking on this extremely ambitious
project.
