I don't know much about it. I know that during the Chinese cultural revolution the tibetan culture was pretty much fucking obliterated but I don't know much beyond that. I recently saw an article talking about modern China's treatment of tibet and could identify a lot of very misleading language that treated seemingly normal things as dystopian as usual but I'd really like to know this history here as well as what is actually happening in tibet right now. Can anyone point me towards resources that may have information on this?

Here is an account by the first western journalist to visit Tibet after the serfs rose up against the ruling priest class. It's a good place to start educating yourself.

Came here to recommend Anna Louise strong. Great and depressing read
