4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, Mar 24 2009
By J. R. Platek "entropy" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Women in Tibet (Paperback)
This is an excellent book about Tibetan women. For those that are interested in the book let me suggest the Women of Tibet documentary films as well: http://womenoftibet.org/ I saw "A Quiet Revolution" - about the experiences of women during the Tibetan occupation and exile. Think about the stretch between parents who lived an agrarian life (until forced into exile) and belonging to a generation forced out into the modern world. There's something about the Tibetan character, because the strength and wisdom of the young women is astounding. I highly recommend the film. One of the older women interviewed in this film spent SEVENTEEN years in what basically amounts to a concentration camp - of the THREE HUNDRED women in this prison/work camp - only FOUR survived. The younger women - as both the film and this book discuss - live a life without a passport - trying to pass on a heritage they've only experienced in exile. The film and book tell a story that really has never been told, the women interviewed have such rare stories to tell, I'm thankful that someone is preserving them.
