The Dragon in the Land of Snows: A History of Modern Tibet Since 1947 Tapa blanda - 2000
de Tsering Shakya
Based entirely on unpublished primary sources, this extraordinary account chronicles the definitive history of modern Tibet and shatters the popular perception of the area as an isolated Shangri-La. "A deeply insightful and thorough account . . . likely to be the definitive history of modern Tibet for a generation or more".--"The New York Times Book Review". of photos.
Resumen
Based entirely on unpublished primary sources, Tsering Shakya's groundbreaking history of modern Tibet shatters the popular conception of the country as an isolated Shangri-la unaffected by broader international developments. Shakya gives a balanced, blow-by-blow account of Tibet's ongoing struggle to maintain its independence and safeguard its cultural identity while being sandwiched between the heavyweights of Asian geopolitics: Britain, India, China, and the United States. With thorough documentation, Shakya details the Chinese depredations of Tibet, and reveals the failures of the Tibetan leadership's divided strategies. Rising above the simplistic dualism so often found in accounts of Tibet's contested recent history, The Dragon in the Land of Snows lucidly depicts the tragedy that has befallen Tibet and identifies the conflicting forces that continue to shape the aspirations of the Tibetan people today.
Primera línea
On 15 August 1947, India became an independent nation and inherited the political influence and the privileges that Britain had gained in Tibet.
