"Tibetan Nation: A History Of Tibetan Nationalism And Sino-Tibetan Relations" By Warren Smith

Published in July 2019 by Routledge, “Tibetan Nation: A History Of Tibetan Nationalism And Sino-Tibetan Relations” by Warren Smith offers the most comprehensive account available of Tibetan nationalism, Sino-Tibetan relations, and the issue of Tibetan self-determination.
From the Routledge website:
Warren Smith explores Tibet’s ethnic and national origins, the birth of the Tibetan state, the Buddhist state and its relations with China, Tibet’s quest for independence, and the Chinese takeover of Tibet after 1950. Focusing especially on post-1950 Tibet under Chinese Communist rule, Smith analyzes Marxist-Leninist and Chinese Communist Party nationalities theory and policy, their application in Tibet, and the consequent rise of Tibetan nationalism. Concluding that the essence of the Tibetan issue is self-determination, Smith bolsters his argument with a comprehensive analysis of modern Tibetan and Chinese political histories.
