In this provocative analysis of the ways in which the romance of Tibet--even as it is invoked by Tibetan lamas living in exile--ultimately imprisons those who seek the goal of Tibetan independence from Chinese occupation, Lopez unveils the mirror-lined cultural labyrinths that have been created by those who would perpetuate the country's myth.
