| Summary: | Conflicting Memories is a study of how the Tibetan encounter with the Chinese state during the Maoist era has been recalled and reimagined by Chinese and Tibetan authors and artists since the late 1970s. Written by an international team of historians, anthropologists and scholars of religion, literature and film, together with translated extracts from key interviews, biographies, fiction and films, it examines official histories, films, unofficial autobiographies, memoirs and novels and oral testimonies, along with writings by Buddhist adepts. The book explores what these revised versions of the past chose as their focus, which types of people produced them, and what aims they pursued in the production of new, post-Mao descriptions of Tibet under Chinese socialism. |
