Tibet (Hardcover) $45.67 Drawing from a wide range of scholarship from mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century, this book looks at the history and politics of Tibet from a fresh perspective. Addressing the current debates on Tibet with intense academic rigour, Parshotam Mehra is able to focus on the issues of autonomy, the exodus of Tibetan refugees both to India and across the globe, human rights, and India`s role vis-a-vis Tibet. He juxtaposes contemporary literature on Tibet against analyses of its history and politics and examines both the institutions of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama as well as Tibet`s ties with Imperial China, Communist China, the former British rulers of India, and the Tsars of Russia. In doing so, Mehra uncovers the various complexities of the current debates on Tibet. This volume is crucial as it boldly takes up the question of Tibetan sovereignty and the possible direction of conflict resolution in this disputed land. |

Yungchen Lhamo – Tibet Tibet [6/30] $13.4 Personnel includes: Yungchen Lhamo (vocals); Dhumkang (dranyem); Joji Hirota (drums).TIBET, TIBET is a touching tribute to Yungchen Lhamo`s countrymen. These are songs of prayer delivered without restraint or introversion. This music is forged out of struggle and suffering. Despite this, Lhamo`s voice is not fragile or weak–her singing is full of conviction and fortitude on all 10 tracks.Largely a cappella, songs such as "Lama Dorje Chang" and "Par Panee Dawa Shar" bring to life the ancient song style of the Tibetan people. On these selections, Lhamo uses beautiful pentatonic movements and difficult intervallic leaps to create beautiful, longing melodies. Other tracks such as "Om Mani Padme Hung," and "Refuge Prayer" are more solemn. These ritualistic chants, performed with an ensemble of monks from the Drepung Ngakpa Monastery or alternately the Gyuto Tantric College, underscore the resiliency of the Tibetan exile. The final and most arresting track, "Gi Pai Pa Yul Chola" features Lhamo`s voice with a string section. While the strings are not credited here, the expressive arrangement really invokes the mournful qualities in Lhamo`s voice. Few releases–in any genre–are so transparent yet so unassuming. TIBET, TIBET is music of transcendence. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

Tibetan Ritual (Paperback) $30.86 Ritual is one of the most pervasive religious phenomena in the Tibetan cultural world. Despite its ubiquity and importance to Tibetan cultural life, however, only in recent years has Tibetan ritual been given the attention it deserves. This is the first scholarly collection to focus on this important subject. Unique in its historical, geographical and disciplinary breadth, this book brings together eleven essays by an international cast of scholars working on ritual texts, institutions and practices in the greater Tibetan cultural world – Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia. While most of the chapters focus on Buddhism, two deal with ritual in Tibet`s indigenous Bon religion. All of the essays are original to this volume. An extensive introduction by the editor provides a broad overview of Tibetan ritual and contextualizes the chapters within the field of Buddhist and Tibetan studies. The book should find use in advanced undergraduate courses and graduate seminars on Tibetan religion. It will also be of interest to students and scholars of ritual generally. |

Tibetan Transitions (Hardcover) $144 Between the late 1980s and the present, Tibetans living in exile and in China have undergone a dramatic fertility decline from an average of over six births per woman to less than two. Using both anthropological and demographic theoretical lenses, Childs (Washington U.) analyzes this shift through comparison of fertility and family planning practices in four Tibetan societies: Kyirong, formerly a district of Tibet (1940-1958); Sama, an ethnically Tibetan village in Nepal (1990s to present); Tibetan exiles of India and Nepal (1959 to present); and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China (1950s to present). He explores the interplay between fertility rates, on the one hand, and social norms, cultural beliefs, family systems, gender roles, economic practices, and political ideologies, on the other. He also speculates on future Tibetan demographic trends and their implications for Tibetan society. Annotation )2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |

On the Cultural Revolution in Tibet (Paperback) $16.82 Among the conflicts to break out during the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, the most famous took place in the summer of 1969 in Nyemo, a county to the south and west of Lhasa. In this incident, hundreds of villagers formed a mob led by a young nun who was said to be possessed by a deity associated with the famous warrior-king Gesar. In their rampage the mob attacked, mutilated, and killed county officials and local villagers as well as People`s Liberation Army troops. This groundbreaking book, the first on the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, revisits the Nyemo Incident, which has long been romanticized as the epitome of Tibetan nationalist resistance against China. Melvyn C. Goldstein, Ben Jiao, and Tanzen Lhundrup demonstrate that far from being a spontaneous battle for independence, this violent event was actually part of a struggle between rival revolutionary groups and was not ethnically based. On the Cultural Revolution in Tibet proffers a sober assessment of human malleability and challenges the tendency to view every sign of unrest in Tibet in ethno-nationalist terms. |

From the Heart of Tibet (Paperback) $15.17 “The story of Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche’s life,” notes the Dalai Lama, “encompasses a remarkably broad range of Tibetan experience over the past fifty years.” This is the story of a young boy, born in 1946 to inherit the role of high-ranking lama. When the Chinese army invaded, his family escaped the country, but he and the other monks in his monastery were rounded up by soldiers and sent to an indoctrination school.After surviving almost two decades of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, during which time lamas and aristocrats were persecuted and jailed, Chetsang Rinpoche walked out of Tibet alone and found his way to Kathmandu, Nepal. Eventually, after living as a refugee and an immigrant, he fully took on leadership of the Drikung lineage by founding the Drikung Kagyu Institute in India. Since then the teachings of this lineage have spread around the world after nearly being lost. |

Angry Monk: Reflections on Tibet (DVD) $22.04 Born in Tibet in 1903, Gendun Choephel was a Buddhist monk who was believed to be the reincarnation of a respected holy man and began his religious education at the age of four. But while Choephel was a man of great faith, he was also an intelligent individual with a critical nature. He soon discovered that his willingness to question both Buddhist teachings and the policies of the Tibetan leadership earned him few friends in his homeland, especially as the Chinese government began its stranglehold on Tibetan affairs. Choephel gave up his life as a monk to pursue secular education in India. His writings and art earned him an international reputation as a man of talent and wisdom, but when he returned to Tibet, he found the land of his birth to be a far more restrictive place than when he left, and his willingness to voice his opinions had tragic consequences–he was charged with inciting political discord and died in prison in 1951. With time, Choephel became a symbol of the intellectual and spiritual freedom that was lost in Tibet when China took hold of the country, and Swiss filmmaker Luc Schaedler uses Choephel`s story as a framework for examining a little-understood side of Tibet and Buddhism in ANGRY MONK: REFLECTIONS ON TIBET. This documentary received its North American premiere at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. |

Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change $22.78 Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change is the first systematic and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary output of Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in Tibet and in the Tibetan diaspora. The contributors explore the circumstances that led to the development of modern Tibetan literature, its continuities and breaks with classical Tibetan literary forms, and the ways that writers use forms such as magical realism, satire, and humor to negotiate literary freedom within the People’s Republic of China. They provide crucial information about Tibetan writers’ lives in China and abroad, the social and political contexts in which they write, and the literary merits of their oeuvre. Along with deep social, cultural, and political analysis, this wealth of information clarifies the complex circumstances that Tibetan writers face in the PRC and the diaspora. The contributors consider not only poetry, short stories, and novels but also other forms of cultural production—such as literary magazines, films, and Web sites—that provide a public forum in the Tibetan areas of the PRC, where censorship and restrictions on public gatherings remain the norm. Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change includes a previously unavailable list of modern Tibetan works translated into Western languages and a comprehensive English-language index of names, subjects, and terms.Contributors: Pema Bhum, Howard Y. F. Choy, Yangdon Dhondup, Lauran R. Hartley, Hortsang Jigme, Matthew T. Kapstein, Nancy G. Lin, Lara Maconi, Fran�oise Robin, Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani, Ronald D.
