Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change
“Despite the growing interest in contemporary Tibet, there have been fewpublications in western languages of writings by contemporary Tibetans,besides those written in Chinese by authors such as Tashi Dawa and Alaiwho know little if any written Tibetan and have complex, difficult relationswith their Tibetan heritage. Hartley and Schiaffini-Vedani’s collection ofcritical studies of modern Tibetan literature makes a major contribution tocorrecting this imbalance. . . . [H]ere we have rich context and analysis of Tibetan voices and not just those favoured by publishers in Beijing or New York.” - Robert Barnett,Pacific Affairs
