This book recounts the life stories - stories of loss and hope, of
anxieties and aspirations - of generations of exiled Tibetans
living in India since the late 1950s after the Chinese takeover of
Tibet. Located in the realm of psycho-historical analysis, this
work has a dual focus in interpreting and analyzing these life
stories. First, a consistent effort is made to unravel the
psychologically devastating consequences following refugeehood and
torture. A simultaneous focus searches for symbols of human
resilience - the opening up of creative possibilities and a return
to renewed meanings in the lives of these exiles. Two central
symbols of continuity among this community which are discussed are
the Dalai Lama and the philosophy of Buddhism. This is a unique
book that looks at issues of contemporary interest and relevance to
the Tibetan community today, providing a different view of their
'place' in the wider political sphere. Lives in Exile - Exploring
the World of Tibetan Refugees will be of interest to scholars in
the fields of psychology, history, and refugee studies and to the
general reader.
