"A fascinating study of the development of the images of Tibet that 
have excited the Western imagination. Christian missionaries, 
Tibetologists, governments, the Theosophists, authors of fiction and 
film, and finally Tibetan refugees, have all contributed to the 
popular image of Tibet and its people. The essays in IMAGINING TIBET 
illustrate how easy it is to misunderstand, even fictionalize, a 
culture and its people. ...This book is almost complete in conception 
and delivery." - Shambhala Sun
