Award-winning journalist Barbara Demick illuminates a part of China and the aggressions of this superpower that have been largely off limits to Westerners who have long romanticized Tibetans as a deeply spiritual, peaceful people. She tells a sweeping story that spans decades through the lives of her subjects, among them a princess whose family lost everything in the Cultural Revolution; a young student from a nomadic family who becomes radicalized in the storied monastery of Kirta; an upwardly mobile shopkeeper who falls in love with a Chinese woman; a poet and intellectual who risks everything to voice his resistance. Demick paints a broad canvas through an intimate view of these lives, depicting the tradition of resistance that results in the shocking acts of self-immolation, the vibrant, enduring power of Tibetan Buddhism, and the clash of modernity with ancient ways of life. Her depiction is nuanced, unvarnished, and at times shocking"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 Demick Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 951.38 Demick Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
