| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A long-time Han resident and a prominent writer in Tibet, Ma Lihua embodies a myriad of contradictions and dilemmas of Han Chinese intellectuals in Tibet. Her deep love of Tibetans and their rich culture coexists with her old-fashioned revolutionary idealism. Her cultural relativism enables her to understand the traditions and conditions of Tibet while her very work is part of the Chinese cultural mission to incorporate Tibet into the nation-state of the PRC. With a view to the political and social environment in which she writes, this essay provides a descriptive and sympathetic reading of her work on modern Tibetan literature and her encounters with, and reflections upon, modern Tibetan society. |
