William Monroe Coleman.- Writing Tibetan History: The Discourses of Feudalism and Serfdom in Chinese and Western Historiography.
Research which does exist either focuses on the philosophical and religious traditions of Tibet, and is therefore not very useful for understanding socioeconomic relations in Tibet, or is saturated with overt political motivations and rhetoric, and thereby calls into question its credibility.

Ethnic Group

C. Goldstein.- Tibet,
China and the United States: Reflections on the Tibet Question. (1995)
Tibet's political subordination to China, therefore, was repeatedly validated by the West throughout the first half of the 20th century, and particularly in the critical years during and immediately following World War II.
Li
Lianrong.- History
and the Tibetan Epic Gesar
Looking back on the achievements of half a century devoted to studying the Tibetan epic Gling rje Gesar rgyal povi mam tar (later Gesar), one finds a particular school of research whose province is the relationship between the epic and historical truth.
Daniel J. Miller.-The world of Tibetan Nomads
Nomads are still found on the Tibetan Plateau and in the Himalaya. Known in the Tibetan language as drokpa, translating as ‘high-pasture people’, there are an estimated two million Tibetan-speaking nomads spread over a vast area
Fernanda Pirie.- Feuding, Mediation and the Negotiation of Authority among the Nomads of Eastern Tibet. Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
Before their occupation by China's Maoist forces in 1958, the nomads of Amdo formed segmentary tribal groups, whose relations were characterised by warfare, feuding and elaborate processes of mediation. In the 1980s, following a period of collectivisation, reforms allowed them substantially to re-create their tribal groups under new leadership
Tsering Shakya.- Introduction: The Development of Modern Tibetan Studies
The
field of Tibetan studies had not previously dealt with Tibet as an evolving
and contemporary
society. Although there had been great interest in Tibet in the West since
at least the early nineteenth century, academic studies of Tibetan in
Western universities began in earnest only in 1959.
Xie
Jisheng.- The
Mythology of Tibetan Mountain Gods: An Overview
There are countless high mountains in Tibet, and ancient Tibetans believed
that gods resided on every one of them. The worship of mountain gods was
one of the most important forms of nature worship among ancient Tibetans;
it was fundamental to their entire belief system (In
Oral Tradition, 16/2 (2001))
Xu Bin.- The Application and Cultural Understanding of the Epic Gesar Images in Rites
Images
are important materialized forms of the epic Gesar. G.N.Roerich from the
former Soviet Union, a famous expert in Tibetan studies, in his article
of The Epic Gesar of gLing, divided the images of the epic Gesar into
two types according to their content. China Tibetology
Yang Enhong.- A Comparative Study of the Singing Styles of Mongolian and Tibetan Geser/Gesar Artists. Oral Tradition, 13/2 (1998)
The epic King Geser has been in wide circulation in Chinese Inner Mongolian and Tibetan areas thanks to its continuous singing by generations of local artists. Because artists have brought their individual cultural contexts into it, the epic exhibits distinctive ethnic qualities in different places.
Yang Enhong.- Tibetan Oral Epic. Oral Tradition, 18/1 (2003)
In the field of Tibetan oral epic studies there is concern over that fact that the tradition of King Gesar, which has been preserved among illiterate artists and audiences and handed down orally and aurally, has waned and could disappear from modern society.
