A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Recounts the history of Tibet, describes how its culture is more similar to that of central Asia than to that of China, and argues that the idea that Tibet is part of China is a relatively new development

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The author of China Rising here describes Tibet's long and independent history, focusing on its politics and culture, and shows how its future now lies largely in China's hands. An impeccably researched, spirited history of the forces that shaped today's Tibet, right down to the way tea is prepared. Kirkus Reviews
