The Rise of G’npo Namgyel in Kham
The Blind Warrior of NyarongThis book presents a case study of the ascendancy of G’npo Namgyel, a minor Tibetan chieftain in Kham who had a great impact on Sino-Tibetan relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author looks at how Kham attempted to create its own identity and space and argues that frontier regions are not mere peripheries but form an integral part of history.
