Gender, Nation, and Nationalism (eBook, PDF)

Perspectives of Tibetan Women in Exile

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book looks at the question of the Tibetan nation from the perspective of Tibetan women in exile. It situates Tibetan women within the debate of Tibetan nation-building and nationalism in exile. In doing so, the book explores Tibetan women's construction of the idea of the Tibetan nation, their contributions to Tibetan nationalism, their position in Tibetan society, and the nuances of identity. The author captures the experiences, views, and realities of Tibetan women in exile, drawing from interviews conducted with participants in three Tibetan settlements in India.

This book is an important contribution to feminist discourse on gender, nation, and nationalism in the context of the Tibetans in exile. It will appeal to readers and scholars interested in Tibetan studies, nationalism, feminism, women's studies, and Asian studies.
