In this incident, hundreds of villagers formed a mob led by a young nun who was said to be possessed by a deity associated with the famous warrior-king Gesar. In their rampage the mob attacked, mutilated, and killed county officials and local villagers as well as People's Liberation Army troops. This groundbreaking book, the first on the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, revisits the Nyemo Incident, which has long been romanticized as the epitome of Tibetan nationalist resistance against China. Melvyn C. Goldstein, Ben Jiao, and Tanzen Lhundrup demonstrate that far from being a spontaneous battle for independence, this violent event was actually part of a struggle between rival revolutionary groups and was not ethnically based. On the Cultural Revolution in Tibet proffers a sober assessment of human malleability and challenges the tendency to view every sign of unrest in Tibet in ethno-nationalist terms. 606 $aHistory$zChina 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xHistory$yNyemo Incident, 1969 607 $aChina$xHistory$yCultural Revolution, 1966-1976 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistory 676 $a951/.5056 700 $aGoldstein$b Melvyn C$0265243 701 $aJiao$b Ben$01039101 701 $aTanzen Lhundrup$01039102 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456835103321 996 $aOn the Cultural Revolution in Tibet$92461101 997 $aUNINA
