Volume 2, The calm before the storm, 1951-1955. 520 $a "It is not possible to fully understand contemporary politics between China and the Dalai Lama without understanding what happened in the 1950's. The third volume in Melvyn Goldstein's History of Modern Tibet series, The Calm before the Storm, examines the critical years of 1955 through 1957. During this period, the Preparatory Committee for a Tibet Autonomous Region was inaugurated in Lhasa, and a major Tibetan uprising occurred in Sichuan Province. Jenkhentsisum, a Tibetan anti-communist emigree group, emerged as an important player with secret links to Indian Intelligence, the Dalai Lama's Lord Chamberlain, the United States, and Taiwan. And in Tibet, Fan Ming, the acting head of the CCP's office in Lhasa, launched the "Great Expansion," which recruited many thousands of Han Cadres to Lhasa in preparation for beginning democratic reforms, only to be stopped decisively by Mao Zedong's "Great Contraction" which sent them back to China and ended talk of reforms in Tibet for the foreseeable future. In Volume III, Goldstein draws on never-before seen Chinese government documents, published and unpublished memoirs and diaries, and invaluable in-depth interviews with important Chinese and Tibetan participants (including the Dalai Lama) to offer a new level of insight into the events and principal players of the time. Goldstein corrects factual errors and misleading stereotypes in the history, and uncovers heretofore unknown information on the period to reveal in depth a nuanced portrait of Sino-Tibetan relations that goes far beyond anything previously imagined"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 651 0 $a Tibet Autonomous Region (China) $x History $y 1951- 651 0 $a Tibet Autonomous Region (China) $x Politics and government $y 1951- 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Buddhism / General (see also PHILOSOPHY / Buddhist). $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 648 7 $a Since 1951 $2 fast 650 7 $a Political science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 651 7 $a China $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01758817 700 1 $a Goldstein, Melvyn C. $t History of modern Tibet. $n Volume 2, $p The calm before the storm, 1951-1955. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A2975D4BEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
