Sobre este artículo
Paperback / softback. New. Drawing on unpublished primary sources, a history of modern Tibet from 1947 provides both Chinese and Tibetan perspectives on events, describes Chinese depredations of Tibet, critiques Tibets's leadership strategy as well as that of China, and documents the country's ongoing struggle to maintain it
Sinopsis
Based entirely on unpublished primary sources, Tsering Shakya 's groundbreaking history of modern Tibet shatters the popular conception of the country as an isolated Shangri-la unaffected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.
