Reviews
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., 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., 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., The book is a valuable resource for people in Tibetan studies trying to familiarize themselves with the current debates within the community. . . The book makes important connections between Tibetans in Tibet and those in exile by focusing on modes of literary and visual production and religious networks operating across this political divide. . . . This book is a careful selection of interconnected processes that shape the flows of identity in Tibet and Tibetan speaking communities.

Synopsis
Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage provides a comprehensive account of the ways Tibetans are reimagining their sense of belonging in the realms of politics, religion, and development. Drawing on sources and examples from Tibet and its diaspora, this book offers an image of Tibetan identity as a multifaceted, living, and changing entity., Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage: Negotiating Dispossession 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 globalized world. Moving away from the preservationist paradigm that regards Tibetan culture as an endangered and precious object, the essays in this book portray Tibetan identities in motion, as lived subjectivities that travel, change and creatively reimagine themselves on various global stages. Even if recent Tibetan history is marked by imposed transitions and a sense of dispossession, this collection highlights the ways Tibetans have not only managed traumatic historical events but also become agents of change and reinventors of their own traditions.
