The twelve case studies highlight the themes of Tibetans' self-representation, politicized national consciousness, religious and cultural heritages, and resistance to the forces of colonization. This book demonstrates how Tibetan cultural narratives adjust to intercultural influences and ongoing social and political struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen one thinks of Tibetan culture, one tends to think of Buddhism. However, the past half century has been a period of vibrant cultural work—both in Tibet and in exile—that, if not disconnected, is abstracted from Tibet’s storied Buddhism, and in fascinating ways. This collection of compelling essays brings this work to the audience that it so richly deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Donald Lopez Jr., University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTibetans both inside and outside Tibet often utter the phrase ‘the reunion of the exiles and the residents’ (གཞིས་བྱེས་ལྷན་འཛོམ།gzhis byes lhan ’zom), which encapsulates both a factual statement on the fall and fragmentation of Tibet since the 1950s and a national aspiration for the reunion of Tibetans in a regained homeland. Resistant Hybridities: New Narratives of Exiled Tibet is a timely book that appreciates the long roots of contemporary Tibetan history, politics, and culture embedded within this evocative expression from the Tibetan exilic dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Lama Jabb, Wolfson College at the University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Resisting Representation: The Anglophone Tibetan Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Tibetan Literary Influences in the English Poems of Chögyam Trungpa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Lessons Unlearned: Identity and Resistance in Tsering Wangmo Dhompa’s Poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Are We There Yet?: The Politics of Tibetan Self-Fashioning and Representation in Tenzin Tsundue's Poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Hybrid Cartographies: Mapping in The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Faith and the Flag: A Study of Early Nationalist Phase in Tibet in the First Tibetan-English Novel Idols on the Path\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Performing Displacement: Film, Art, and Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The Institutionalization and Transmission of Tibetan Music in Exile: The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Struggle to Inscribe Individuality: Tibetan Pop Singers in India and Nepal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Tibetan Diasporic Cinema: Traces of Memory, Visions of Hope\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Palette Where the Past Meets the Present: A Critical Appreciation of Paintings by Tibetan Children in Exile\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III Testimonial Narration: Media and Memoir\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Circulating Pluralized Selfhood: Testimony and Witnessing in Protest Pamphlets as Emergent Narrative Genre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Human Rights Practice and the Evolution of Testimony in the Tibetan Diaspora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Traversing Borders: A Tibetan Odyssey in Coming Home to Tibet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040759218519,"sku":"9781498552356","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498552356.jpg?v=1750947751","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/resistant-hybridities-9781498552356","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
