A History of Amdo: In Celebration of a New Publication

A History of Amdo: In Celebration of a New Publication
Saturday, June 13, 2009

Trace Foundation celebrates the release of the much-anticipated History of Amdo by author and scholar Hortsang Jigme. This six-volume work is the result of nine years of careful research by the author, and covers this whole history of the Amdo region, from the first appearance of inhabitants to the 1950s. Each area of the region is examined, and within each region the forts, monasteries, temples, and individuals that comprise the rich fabric of Amdo.

Hortsang Jigme will discuss the background and his approach to the project, most helpful sources, and most difficult challenges in compiling this work
