How and why did our perception change? How accurate are our modern conceptions of Tibet?Imagining Tibet is a collection of essays that reveal these Western conceptions. Providing an historical background to the West's ever-changing relationship with Tibet, Donald Lopez, Jeffrey Hopkins, Jamyang Norbu, and other noted scholars explore a variety of topics - from Western perceptions of Tibetan approaches to violence, monastic life, and life as a nation in exile, to representations of Tibet in Western literature, art, environmentalism, and the New Age movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51873724858656,"sku":"NEW0861711912","price":11.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/6113e8C1DNL.jpg?v=1781722810","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/imagining-tibet-perceptions-projections-and-fantasies-0861711912","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
