FREEDOM STRUGGLE OVER DEMOCRACY POSTSCRIPTReviewsTrine Brox plunges us into the transformations, translations, paradoxes and contradictions of democracy as sacred gift decreed from above by the Dalai Lama, now rapidly maturing into distinctively Tibetan forms. The tensions between democracy as an inborn right, democracy as modernity, democracy as legitimacy, democracy as a support for or a threat to national unity, are fully explored, bringing to us many Tibetan subjectivities. How exiled Tibetans make sense, and make use of this gift, making it fully theirs and no longer that of the giver, is what makes this book a sensitive insight into the paths taken and not taken.--Gabriel Lafitte, author of Spoiling Tibet: China and Resource Nationalism on the Roof of the World (03/15/2016), 'Trine Brox's long-term research work highlights the democratic processes in the Tibetan exile community in India ... the words of the numerous interviewees provide the reader with a lively and very personal perspective on the exile Tibetan democratization process.' - Stephanie Roemer, author of The Tibetan Government in Exile Trine Brox plunges us into the transformations, translations, paradoxes and contradictions of democracy as sacred gift decreed from above by the Dalai Lama, now rapidly maturing into distinctively Tibetan forms.
