Abstract:
In 'Tibetanness' Under Threat?, Adrian Zenz pioneers an analysis of remarkable recent developments in Qinghai's Tibetan education system. While marketisation processes threaten these positive developments, educational strategies of Tibetans in the Chinese system explore new ways of being 'Tibetan' in China.
