By contrast, China's charismatically-challenged leaders attract crowds of protestors waving Tibetan flags and shouting \"Free Tibet!\" whenever they visit foreign countries. By now most Westerners probably think they understand the political situation in Tibet. But, John Powers argues, most Western scholars of Tibet evince a bias in favor of one side or the other in this continuing struggle. Some of the most emotionally charged rhetoric, says Powers, is found in studies of Tibetan history. narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Powers\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Reader at the Centre for Asian Studies and Histories at the Australian National University in Canberra.
