This Captivating Autobiography By A Tibetan Educator And Former Political Prisoner Is Full Of Twists And Turns. Born In 1929 In A Tibetan Village, Tsering Developed A Strong Dislike Of His Country'S Theocratic Ruling Elite. As A 13Yearold Member Of The Dalai Lama'S Personal Dance Troupe, He Was Frequently Whipped Or Beaten By Teachers For Minor Infractions. A Heterosexual, He Escaped By Becoming A Drombo, Or Homosexual Passive Partner And Sextoy, For A Wellconnected Monk. After Studying At The University Of Washington, He Returned To Chineseoccupied Tibet In 1964, Convinced That Tibet Could Become A Modernized Society Based On Socialist, Egalitarian Principles Only Through Cooperation With The Chinese. Denounced As A 'Counterrevolutionary' During Mao'S Cultural Revolution, He Was Arrested In 1967 And Spent Six Years In Prison Or Doing Forced Labor In China. Officially Exonerated In 1978, Tsering Became A Professor Of English At Tibet University In Lhasa. He Now Raises Funds To Build Schools In Tibet'S Villages, Emphasizing Tibetan Language And Culture.
