Chieftains, Lamas, and Warriors - A History of Kham, 1904–1961

This book challenges traditional views that see Kham as a transit point and instead repositions the region as pivotal to Sino-Tibetan relations. Informed by frontier studies and drawing from original sources to reassess its importance in early twentieth-century politics and narratives, it examines Kham’s identity amidst assimilation pressures.
