If you type "Paul Henry King" into the 'Search this blog' box (located at the top of the side-bar on the right) it should bring them all up. The blog post titled "China & Tibet - Through Western Eyes" has a link to a published article I wrote about the three generations of the King family who lived in and wrote about China, this contains everything I know about their family.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641833714036731203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88759862385027089.post-68148684473878008992020-05-06T16:50:37.158+01:002020-05-06T16:50:37.158+01:00My great grandmother Adelaide King was a sister to...My great grandmother Adelaide King was a sister to Louis King's father. I have a few old photos of King family including a portrait in old age of Veronica King.

It's good to see 'We ...Thanks for the link. It's good to see 'We Tibetans' is still being read, studied, and discussed. It is certainly an important historical document.<br /><br />However, I'm not sure I fully agree with all of the criticisms this reviewer makes; although I'm glad to see they think there is a clear distinction between Louis King's and Rinchen Lhamo's authorial voices - which is more than some critics have perceived! (cf. P. D. Coates 'The China Consuls')<br /><br />I think 'We Tibetans' deserves and requires a more nuanced reading than this reviewer allows. I think modern readers need to bear in mind the time in which this book was written (1926), and the personal circumstances of the author - very few Tibetans at this time had travelled as far from Tibet as Rinchen Lhamo. It's probably more fair and realistic to view the book as one woman's personal interpretation of her culture (as the final sentence of the review actually acknowledges), and her reasons for writing the book, as she herself acknowledges, are not necessarily intended to be entirely objective as she's venturing to correct what she sees as certain incorrect assumptions and assertions made by non-Tibetan contemporaries whom she has encountered or heard about. In that sense some of her biases seem justified and perhaps understandable given the circumstances in which the book was written.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641833714036731203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88759862385027089.post-65323717422869381212014-10-14T19:51:40.096+01:002014-10-14T19:51:40.096+01:00I found a review of the book.
