The Division of Heaven and Earth: On Tibet's Peaceful Revolution (Shokdung)(Paperback)

This is a translation of one of the most influential and important books from Tibet in the modern era, a passionate indictment of Chinese policies and an eloquent analysis of protests that swept Tibet from March, 2008 - the 'Earth Rat' year according to the Tibetan calendar - as a re-awakening
of Tibetan national consciousness and solidarity.
The Division of Heaven and Earth was banned by the Chinese government on publication, and led to Shokdung being disappeared and imprisoned for nearly six months. This English translation is being made available for the first time since copies began to circulate underground in Tibet.
The author, Tagyal -- who uses the pen name Shokdung, meaning morning conch-- one of Tibet's leading intellectuals, wrote his book in response to an unprecedented wave of bold demonstrations and expressions of Tibetan solidarity and national identity.
