Книга "Among the Tibetans" by Lucy Bird takes a novel look at Chinese rule in Central Tibet between 1947 and 1950 under the Nationalist government in China. Using aspects of literary fiction from European travellers of the Enlightenment and adopting a gendered framework, Bird traces this largely ignored chapter of Chinese history.\nThe text also contained aspects of travel writing and Tibetan studies and is written by an eye-witness of those events and who had recently retired as one of the first Tibetan refugees to return to Tibet after more than 30 years abroad. Bird also visits many other historical figures related to Tibet at that period in her book.\n"Among Tibetans opens to readers with her childhood recollections of her family's escape from Tawang to Nepal and moving to Beijing before embarking on the trek across Tibet during, notorious 'phase two' of Communist Chinese takeover."Bird's experiences vividly illustrate many period in which Chinese Civil War raged, cultural tensions deepened and emergency military rule maintained its grip on simultaneously provocative and searching society. The impact of heightened ethnic tensions ripples throughout the text.\nEncounters with several key oral and written figures from a variety of Tibetan narrative traditions are weaved seamlessly through the text to add depth and authenticity of descriptions and the background information within."Among Tibetan captures a fascinatingly original source of information about a pivotal period for Central Tibet; it is a distinct source of contemporary Tibetan and Asian history not covered in most western media sources pertinent to this extensive and wonton disregarded topic."Leah McCluskey, University of CambridgeThe book is divided into eight accounts including ICTs, Notebooks, English Poems and Notes and Index.Ben Cullennton, writes:Chardine CourtSE17 0BQhttp://isabellabird.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-ia-reading-right-now.html"Comprising bird enthralling case-studies shaped in analytical fashion, Among Tibetan tempts open-minded no lesser to possums lapfuls of entertaining and intriguing 18th-century found materials to help acclaim Tibetan life of home."Peculiar team Между Тибетом" издание 2011 года.Центрально-Тибетская экспедиция Под редакцией П.
