For centuries its capital, Lhasa, was known as a Forbidden City: it was ruled by a priest-king, and its medieval society was not welcoming to foreigners. But the exile of the Dalai Lama and his followers half a century ago, the destruction of the monasteries, and the plight of the Tibetan people who remained, evoked continuing sympathy. Jonathan Gregson places the religious and political situation against an historical perspective in this sympathetic portrait. 651 0 $a Tibet (China) $x History. 651 0 $a Tibet (China) $x Politics and government $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Tibet (China) $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Social conflict $z Tibet. $z Tibet. 651 0 $a Tibet (China) $x Social conditions. 700 1 $a Rintoul, David. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150619011143.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E68E0C1A220711E49404A1B3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW5Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
