SUMMARY:Muslims in a Buddhist Land: Tibet’s Muslims and the 1959 and 2008 Lhasa
Uprisings
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Lhasa Uprisings of 1959 and 2008 stand out as the two
most prominent challenges to People&rsquo\;s Republic of China&rsquo\;s
rule in Tibet in the past sixty years. Both occurred at key moments of v
ulnerability for the PRC. Both resulted in open violence and the deaths
of civilians\, soldiers and monks. Rarely noted is the fact that in both
revolts\, Lhasa&rsquo\;s Grand Mosque emerged as a central target of Ti
betan hostilities. Professor David Atwill will discuss Tibet&rsquo\;s Mu
slims and their often misinterpreted and misremembered role in Tibetan p
olitics\, culture and society through the lens of these two events.\n\nF
