ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
This deeply knowledgeable book offers the
first sustained analysis of the 2008 uprising in Tibet, which revealed much
about Tibetan nationalism and even more about Chinese nationalism. Retracing
the complex history between China and Tibet, noted expert Warren W. Smith Jr.
describes the uprising itself and explores its broader significance for
Chinese-Tibetan relations. He sharply critiques China`s use of heavy-handed
propaganda to recast the uprising and obscure its origins and significance. The
book convincingly shows that far from becoming more lenient in response to
Tibetan discontent, China has determined to eradicate Tibetan opposition
internally and coerce the international community to conform to China`s version
of Tibetan history and reality.
