The Voice that Remembers
When Adhe Tapontsang--or Ama (Mother) Adhe, as she is affectionately known--left Tibet in 1987, she was allowed to do so on the condition that she remain silent about her twenty-seven years in Chinese prisons. Yet she made a promise to herself and to the many that did not survive: she would not let the truth about China's occupation go unheard or unchallenged. The Voice That Remembers is an engrossing firsthand account of Ama Adhe's mission and a record of a crucial time in modern Tibetan history. It will forever change how you think about Tibet, about China, and about our shared capacity for survival.
Ama Adhe, the Voice that Remembers
Adhe Tapontsang speaks of the atrocities of her twenty-seven years in Chinese prisons after the invasion of Tibet in 1950.
Ama Adhe, voix de la mémoire
" Je suis libre maintenant. Il n'y a plus de gardes devant ma porte. Je mange de nouveau à ma faim, mais j'ai dû quitter mon pays et ne pourrai jamais oublier les racines coupées de mes origines, les précieux fragments du passé que je conserve en mon cœur. " Ama Adhe a réussi à fuir le Tibet après de longues années d'incarcération. Comme elle en avait fait la promesse à des codétenus au cas où elle survivrait, et malgré l'interdiction chinoise, elle tenait à témoigner pour " les morts et les vivants " de son pays. A Dharamsala, au cours d'une audience privée, le Dalaï-Lama l'engage à faire connaître sa vie dans un livre. Cette vie a pour cadre le Kham, province du Tibet ...

Prophetic Women of Bold Love
This book introduces women from various parts of the world who have experienced violence in some form and used that experience to actively foster peace. Some of the women may be better known than others, for they are Nobel Peace Laureates. Yet each woman is equally prophetic in the bold love that creates a better world. The women represent a variety of countries and religious traditions. Yet there is a unity in the underlying spirituality of non violence that grounds each prophetic life and the loving work for human dignity, reconciliation and peace. The women are models for living in ways that transform the world.
Occupational Mobility in an Exiled Community
The book is an empirical research done by Prof. Madhu Rajput on socio-economic status of Tibetan women in exile. Though the author has focused on Tibetan women at Dharamsala and Dehradun, she takes readers to the era when Tibet was an independent nation, narrating their livelihood and traditions. It is a story of skillful adaptation they displayed in the face of drastically changed circumstances in exile to make their existence meaningful and contributory. In early 1960s during conflict, migration and resettlement, it were the Tibetan women and children who suffered the most, as out of their sheltered existence, they became vulnerable to various forms of gender-based exploitation. As a result of flight trauma, anxiety and hardships of beginning a life in exile, most of them suffer from psychological disorders which affect their social and family lives. In addition to many subjects discussed in the book, the author puts an effort to understand the challenges specific to Tibetan women and children, and create sensitization on the issue.
Stalin and Mao
China's ascent to the ranks of the world's second largest economic power has given its revolution a better image than that of its Russian counterpart. Yet the two have a great deal in common. Indeed, the Chinese revolution was a carbon copy of its predecessor, until Mao became aware, not so much of the failures of the Russian model, but of its inability to adapt to an overcrowded third-world country. Yet, instead of correcting that model, Mao decided to go further and faster in the same direction. The aftershock of an earthquake may be weaker, but the Great Leap Forward of 1958 in China was far more destructive than the Great Turn of 1929 in the Soviet Union. It was conceived with an idealis...
Tibet in Agony
In 1959 the Dalai Lama emerged in India, where he set up his government in exile. Soon after he left Lhasa the Chinese People's Liberation Army pummeled the city in the "Battle of Lhasa." The Tibetans were forced to capitulate, putting Mao in a position to impose Communist rule over Tibet
When the Iron Bird Flies
An untold story that reshapes our understanding of Chinese and Tibetan history From 1956 to 1962, devastating military conflicts took place in China's southwestern and northwestern regions. Official record at the time scarcely made mention of the campaign, and in the years since only lukewarm acknowledgment of the violence has surfaced. When the Iron Bird Flies, by Jianglin Li, breaks this decades long silence to reveal for the first time a comprehensive and explosive picture of the six years that would prove definitive in modern Tibetan and Chinese history. The CCP referred to the campaign as "suppressing the Tibetan rebellion." It would lead to the 14th Dalai Lama's exile in India, as well...
