Tibetan subjectivities on the global stage: negotiating dispossession

'Tibetan Subjectivities on a Global Stage' explores the many ways Tibetans are reimagining their cultural identity since the communist takeover of Tibet in the 1950s.

Focusing on developments taking place in Tibet and the diaspora, this collection of essays addresses a wide range of issues at the heart of Tibetan modernity.

From the political dynamics of the exiled community in India to the production of contemporary Tibetan literature in the PRC, the collection delves into various aspects of current significance for the Tibetan community worldwide such as the construction of Bon identity in exile, the strategic use of the discourse of development or the issue of cultural and linguistic purity in an increasingly hybrid and globalised world.
