This innovative collection brings a new approach to scholarship about Tibetan culture. It considers fields as diverse as power in Lhatok in Eastern Tibet, the dynamics and politics of lattice window design in Rebgong (Amdo), humour in old Tibetan verse, and concepts of the self in modern testimonio.

New Views of Tibetan Culture is distinguished as the first Australian publication about Tibet, and represents a group of emerging Australian scholars whose approach to Tibetan subjects is refreshing.
