DESCRIPTION - This is the as-told-to political autobiography of Phüntso Wangye (Phünwang), one of the most important Tibetan revolutionary figures of the twentieth century. Phünwang began his activism in school, where he founded a secret Tibetan Communist Party. He was expelled in 1940, and for the next nine years he worked to organize a guerrilla uprising against the Chinese who controlled his homeland. In 1949, he merged his Tibetan Communist Party with Mao's Chinese Communist Party. He played an important role in the party's administrative organization in Lhasa and was the translator for the young Dalai Lama during his famous 1954-55 meetings with Mao Zedong. In the 1950s, Phünwang was the highest-ranking Tibetan official within the Communist Party in Tibet. Though he was fluent in Chinese, comfortable with Chinese culture, and devoted to socialism and the Communist Party, Phünwang's deep commitment to the welfare of Tibetans made him suspect to powerful Han colleagues. In 1958 he was secretly detained; three years later, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Beijing's equivalent of the Bastille for the next eighteen years. Informed by vivid firsthand accounts of the relations between the Dalai Lama, the Nationalist Chinese government, and the People's Republic of China, this absorbing chronicle illuminates one of the world's most tragic and dangerous ethnic conflicts at the same time that it relates the fascinating details of a stormy life spent in the quest for a new Tibet. inventory #35114.

Born in 1922 in Batang, a part of Eastern Tibet that was under the administration of China, Phunwanq received a modern education, first in his village and then in Nanjing, the capital of Chiang Kaishek's Nationalist China. There he discovered the writings of Lenin and developed a vision of a new socialist Tibet that would make use of modern economic and social institutions and be ruled by Tibetans. Phunwanq began his activism in school, where he founded a secret Tibetan Communist Party. He was expelled in 1940, and for the next nine years he worked to organize a guerrilla uprising against the Chinese who controlled his homeland. In 1949, he merged his Tibetan Communist Party with Mao's Chinese Communist Party. He played an important role in the party's administrative organization in Lhasa and was the translator for the young Dalai Lama during his famous 1954~55 meetings with Mao Zedong. In the 1950s, Phunwang was the highest~ranking Tibetan official within the Communist Party in Tibet. Though he was fluent in Chinese, comfortable with Chinese culture, and devoted to socialism and the Communist Party, Phunwanq's deep commitment to the welfare of Tibetans made him suspicious to powerful Han colleagues. In 1958, he was secretly detained; two years later, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Beijing's equivalent of the Bastille for the next eighteen years. Informed by vivid first~hand accounts of the relations among the Dalai Lama, the Nationalist Chinese government, and the People's Republic of China, this absorbing chronicle illuminates one of the world's most tragic and dangerous ethnic conflicts at the same time that it relates the fascinating details of a stormy life spent in the quest for a new Tibet. Since his release from prison in 1978, Phunwanq has become the leading Tibetan critic within the Communist Party of China's Tibet policy. Now in his eighties, he continues to convey the powerful insights of a visionary who blends Communist ideals and Tibetan nationalism.

The dust jacket has some sticker residue at bottom of the spine and back. Phüntsok Wangyal Goranangpa[a] (2 January 1922 30 March 2014), also known as Phüntsog Wangyal, Bapa Phüntsok Wangyal or Phünwang, was a Tibetan politician. A major figure in modern Sino-Tibetan relations, he is best known for being the founder and leader of the Tibetan Communist Party and spending 18 years in the maximum-security prison Qincheng for political prisoners in Beijing in solitary confinement. Melvyn C. Goldstein (born February 8, 1938) is an American social anthropologist and Tibet scholar. He is a professor of anthropology at Case Western Reserve University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on Tibetan society, history and contemporary politics, population studies, polyandry, studies in cultural and development ecology, economic change and cross-cultural gerontology. William Siebenschuh came to CaseWestern Reserve College thenin 1978 and I retired from The College of Arts and Sciences at the end of spring semester in 2018. In the last decades he got involved in projects that involved ghost writing and got to help some genuinely fascinating people tell their life stories. Each one was different. Each posed different challenges and opportunities. I learned a tremendous amount from each. I think it was the most fun I had as an academic. Except for teaching.
