Publishers Description: From his story-breaking coverage of the 1987 pro-independence demonstrations to Newsweeks 1997 cover story, Lehmans photographs helped create the wave of international attention now focused on Tibet. Unflinching images explore the critical issues there: cultural assimilation, human rights abuse, political demonstrations, environmental degradation, and religious persecution. Lehmans penetrating photographs provide a real-life counterpart to such major entertainment events as Kundun, Seven Years in Tibet, and the Tibetan Freedom Concert.In a moving introduction, renowned Harvard professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dr. Robert Coles speaks to the importance of photojournalism and its role in effecting social change. An authoritative essay by Robbie Barnett provides much-needed historical and political perspective on recent events in Tibet and exposes many of the stereotypes that have clouded Western perceptions of the situation. Jampel Tsering, one of the foremost grassroots political leaders to escape from Tibet, offers a firsthand account of key events in the Tibetan pro-independence movement and provides a rare look at the human cost of their struggle and the hope that sustains it.
