Carole McGranahan on the Forgotten History of Tibetan Resistance

Although everyone has heard of the Dalai Lama and his struggle to free Tibet from Chinese rule, few realize that the history of the struggle is actually a violent one. Now the Dalai Lama is closely linked to peace and nonviolence, but in the 1950s, the CIA helped arm and train a guerilla resistance force. In this interview by KefiWorks, Carole McGranahan, author of Arrested Histories:Tibet, the CIA, and Memories of a Forgotten War, brings fresh insight into Tibet's history of armed resistance and how it's remembered (and not remembered) in Tibetan exile society today.
