This is the story of the rise of Lhasa, before 1642 a small town, renowned for its Jokhang temple and its three large 15th century Gelukpa monasteries. The political victory of the Gelukpa changed its destiny and it was the Fifth Dalai Lama who made Lhasa into the centre of the Tibetan world, with an influence reaching into Mongolia and Ladakh. It became a true capital, with prestigious monuments, and the Potala Palace as its focus and symbol. Based on Tibetan and Western sources, the book provides a fascinating study of the history of Lhasa against the background of the triangular relations Tibetans-Mongols-Manchus. With ample attention for 17th century Lhasa’s historical, political and cultural context, it offers new insights on Lhasa, also, in the last chapter, in its contemporary Chinese framework.

Islamic Shangri-La transports readers to the heart of the Himalayas as it traces the rise of the Tibetan Muslim community from the 17th century to the present. Radically altering popular interpretations that have portrayed Tibet as isolated and monolithically Buddhist, David Atwill's vibrant account demonstrates how truly cosmopolitan Tibetan society was by highlighting the hybrid influences and internal diversity of Tibet. In its exploration of the Tibetan Muslim experience, this book presents an unparalleled perspective of Tibet's standing during the rise of post–World War II Asia.

This study is divided into two parts. The first two chapters provide an analysis of what is seen is in the Lhasa paintings, their visual program and appearance. I show that, to some extent, this group had conventions of iconography and composition which simultaneously made their subject recognizable while also purposefully distorting and re-envisioning the subject. The last two chapters seek the broader contexts of art history, history and culture in which these works were situated. I show that the Lhasa paintings emerged as a distinct artistic genre in the 18th century, but have as their roots various distinct artistic traditions, including traditional Tibetan portraiture. I also evaluate roles sometimes ascribed to these works, specifically that they function as pilgrimage paraphernalia or as maps. I show that the Lhasa paintings operate outside conventional classifications and that they offer scope for many different readings.

This book looks at a particular type of indigenous architecture that has developed in the city of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. The focus is on the vernacular residential architecture in the form of the historic Lhasa Town House, as it was built and lived in from the mid-17th to mid-20th century. The book defines the Lhasa House as a distinct variety of traditional Tibetan architecture by providing a technical analysis and discussing the cultural framework and the development of a typology.
