Annual Commemorations and Celebrations: Negotiations of Identities in the Bonpo Settlement in Dolanji Yu-Shan LiuReviewsTibet as an independent entity has been written out of geopolitics through Chinese colonization and yet Tibet as an issue remains alive because of the resistance against the occupation as well as the dynamism of the diaspora. What comes out clearly in this multidisciplinary volume is that despite state oppression and international silence, Tibetan cultures, identities, and polities are flourishing. Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage is an essential read for any scholar, activist, or curious reader looking to understand the modern, Tibetan world. -- Dibyesh Anand, University of Westminster The eleven chapters of this volume cover a large variety of fields and theoretical approaches, but all challenge stereotypes about what it means to be Tibetan today, both in Tibet proper and in exile. This book demonstrates how Tibetans negotiate between competing and well-established narratives to invent and express their rich and complex subjectivities, be they individual or collective. -- Francoise Robin, Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage is a significant contribution to the literature on Tibetan history and culture of the latter half of the 20th century. Moving across several spatial scales, cultural environments, and disciplinary approaches, the authors of this book investigate eleven case-studies which persuasively demonstrate the multi-layered dispossession that the modern world has imposed on Tibet and the diverse coping strategies developed by Tibetans in response. This important volume deserves the attention of scholars specializing in Modern Tibet and of a wider readership interested in issues of identity and agency, place and displacement, tradition and modernity, change, transition and resilience. -- Lara Maconi, INALCO, Paris Tibet as an independent entity has been written out of geopolitics through Chinese colonization and yet Tibet as an issue remains alive because of the resistance against the occupation as well as the dynamism of the diaspora. What comes out clearly in this multidisciplinary volume is that despite state oppression and international silence, Tibetan cultures, identities, and polities are flourishing. Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage is an essential read for any scholar, activist, or curious reader looking to understand the modern, Tibetan world. -- Dibyesh Anand, University of Westminster Author InformationShelly Bhoil is writer and research scholar and has previously taught at Delhi University and Amity University.
