Summary

The authors have gathered an astounding array of data to quantify Tibetan cultural activities - language, literature, visual arts, museums, performing arts, festivals, and religion. Drawing on their fieldwork and interviews conducted in the ethnic Tibetan areas surrounding the Tibetan Autonomous Region - parts of the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan, and Qinghai - they make every effort to present a complete and unbiased picture of Tibetan communities living on China's western frontiers.
