| Scope and content |
This collection of 16 documents covers approximately one hundred years from the early 20th century through the early 21st century. The earliest documents are by Bell, a British government official who served in the region from 1904 to 1921. He wrote about Tibetan life and culture and Tibetan Buddhism. Hermanns was a Catholic missionary who wrote an ethnography on Tibetans in Qinghai Province with a focus on animal husbandry. Shen is a Chinese government official living in Lhasa before 1949 and writes about the Ge Lu Pa sect of Buddhism. Peter and Goldstein write about marriage. Goldstein also writes about serfdom, Chinese-Tibet relations between 1949 and 1996, Buddhism under Communism, and the post-collectivization era and reforms in western Tibet. Levine and Yeh also discuss decollectivization among Tibetans living in western Sichuan Province and outside Lhasa, respectively. French writes about Tibetan law. |
