Summary

"Throughout the history of Amdo, representatives of both the secular and the religious communities have engaged in power struggles within their own communities as well as in confrontation with each other. Apart from military or spiritual power, which were distinct from the traditional positions of chieftains and clerics, this volume also discusses economic, cultural, and sociopolitical aspects of power as executed by various players throughout Amdo history"--Page 4 of cover
