Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. The Tibetans is the first of its kind: a beautiful but disquieting portrait of both the splendor and ruin that mark contemporary Tibet. Award-winning photojournalist Steve Lehman travels beyond the mountain vistas and timeless temples to uncover a different Tibet--a Tibet of lumber yards and uranium mines, brothels and discos, of demolished temples and burned-out police stations. Lehman's thoughtful and empathic photographs make real the grave beauty of this culture torn by political conflict. From his story-breaking coverage of the 1987 pan-independence demonstrations to Newsweek's 1997 cover story, Lehman's photographs helped create the wave of international attention now focused on Tibet. In a moving introduction, renowned Harvard professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dr. Robert Coles celebrates the everyday life of the Tibetans. An essay by Tibet authority Robbie Barnett offers a much-needed historical and political perspective on recent events in Tibet. Extensive quotes and oral histories culled from hundreds of interviews with Tibetans augment the evocative color images, along with Tibetan ephemera, maps, propaganda, and religious iconography, adding texture and insight to this finely crafted monograph.
