Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change is the first systematic and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary output of Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in Tibet and in the Tibetan diaspora. The contributors explore the circumstances that led to the development of modern Tibetan literature, its continuities and breaks with classical Tibetan literary forms, and the ways that writers use forms such as magical realism, satire, and humor to negotiate literary freedom within the People's Republic of China. They provide crucial information about Tibetan writers' lives in China and abroad, the social and political contexts in which they write, and the literary merits of their oeuvre. Along with deep social, cultural, and political analysis, this wealth of information clarifies the complex circumstances that Tibetan writers face in the PRC and the diaspora. The contributors consider not only poetry, short stories, and novels but also other forms of cultural production-such as literary magazines, films, and Web sites-that provide a public forum in the Tibetan areas of the PRC, where censorship and restrictions on public gatherings remain the norm. Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change includes a previously unavailable list of modern Tibetan works translated into Western languages and a comprehensive English-language index of names, subjects, and terms.Contributors: Pema Bhum, Howard Y. F. Choy, Yangdon Dhondup, Lauran R. Hartley, Hortsang Jigme, Matthew T. Kapstein, Nancy G. Lin, Lara Maconi, Francoise Robin, Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani, Ronald D. Schwartz, Tsering Shakya, Sangye Gyatso (aka Gangzhun), Steven J. Venturino,Riika Virtanen

Recensione:
"Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change will instantly become the standard reference for future writing on Tibetan literature. The significance of that literature for Sino-Tibetan relations and for the fate of the Tibetan cultural world is only now being recognized. The list of contributors to this collection is a veritable 'who's who' in the study of Tibetan literature."--Janet Gyatso, author of Apparitions of the Self: The Secret Autobiographies of a Tibetan Visionary "This book is a milestone. It is the first to bring together the complex variety of ingredients that have nurtured modern Tibetan literature. It considers several literary genres, written in three languages (Tibetan, Chinese, and English), and gives sensitive attention both to Tibetan literary tradition and to the turmoil of modern politics and social change." --Perry Link, author of The Uses of Literature: Life in the Socialist Chinese Literary System

"This project fills a long necessary gap not only in the study of Tibetan language and literature, but also in modern Tibetan cultural studies. It succeeds admirably in a task that is not attempting nearly often enough: of bringing Tibetan-related topics into meaningful dialogue with other areas and disciplines...The essays in this book establish a very strong case for why Tibetan literature should be included in World literature categories and given consideration for its artistic and literary quality as well as its political content. Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change, moves far beyond this audience however, as its mature and thought-provoking meditation on concepts of identity, ethnicity, language, and the limitations of the modern nation state in conceptualising culture will not only make it a useful text for courses on modern Tibetan history and culture, but also generally interesting for readers interested in postcolonial/postmodern cultural studies. The editors should be applauded for putting together a selection of exciting and stimulating papers that represent the cutting edge of research in this emerging field. Hopefully this project represents only the beginning of more inter-disciplinary adventures in Tibetan cultural history." --Amy Holmes-Tagchungdarpa, The Newsletter IIAS, Summer 2009

"Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change is a pioneering and engaging collection of articles by prominent Tibetan, French and American academics tracing the evolution of Tibetan literature over the past fifty years. Lean and perceptive articles cover a wide range of literary output...With the representations of "Tibetanness" so hotly debated in China and the West, this collection gives a fascinating insight into the parallel debate raging within Tibetan literature itself." --George Fitzherbert, Times Literary Supplement, 28th November 2008
