Jabb, Lama: Oral and Literary Continuities in Modern Tibetan Literature. The Inescapable Nation. Lanham/ Boulder/New York/London: Lexington Books 2015. X, 276 S. 8° = Studies in Modern Tibetan Culture. Hartbd. £ 65,00. ISBN 978-1-4985-0333-4.[Rezension]

This book reveals that the roots of modern Tibetan literature grow in the rich and fertile soil of Tibet's oral and literary traditions, rather than in the 1980s as current scholarship presents. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach drawing on theoretical insights in Western literary theory and criticism, political studies, sociology, and anthropology, this book shows that the Tibetan nation's development is inextricably linked to modern Tibetan literature
