A Preliminary Account; FERNANDA PIRIE-The Impermanence of Power: Village Politics in Ladakh, Tibet and Nepal; CONTRIBUTORS; INDEXLadakh's geographic location between the Himalaya and Karakoram mountains has exposed it to competing political and cultural influences from India, Central Asia and Tibet. This book points to Ladakh's distinct local identity, but argues that its historical development can best be understood in a wider regional perspective. It contains twenty-five research papers from the International Association of Ladakh Studies (IALS), and draws on contributions from historians, art historians, linguists and anthropologists. Their sources include Ladakhi historical documents, comparative linguistic research, visual evidence from temple architecture and inscriptions, Mughal biographies, European travel accounts, government records, trade receipts, and local oral tradition. Taken together, the volume provides a much richer view of Ladakhi history than was previously available, and makes a significant contribution to the study of the wider Himalayan region.Brill's Tibetan Studies Library ;9.Local and Regional PerspectivesCollection of essaysHistoryElectronic books.Collection of essays.History.954/.6Bray JohnNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451448203321Ladakhi Histories2474041UNINA
