China has just called for the "patriotic education" of Tibetans. To understand what that really means, read about Ani Pachen's patriotic education at the hands of the Chinese decades ago. Unforgettable. It's also simply an amazing, inspiring autobiography, whether you're following developments in Tibet or not. I started reading this book, coincidentally, just as the latest conflicts and protests started to hit the news, and it has enriched the big picture for me immeasurably. Anyone interested in what's going on there now, and what has been happening there for a very, very long time, will not fail to deeply appreciate this incredibly strong woman's story.
