March 14, 1999 Review of Hoetzlein Rose, Warren's Living Tibet: The Dalai Lama in DharamsalaI was fortunate enough to read Living Tibet recently while doing research work on Tibetan refugee schools in northern India. Happily I can say that the Warren, Hoetzlein Rose book is beautiful to look at, thanks to the excellent photographs of Bill Warren, and easily read. Warren's photos give the reader a true feeling for the Dharamsala landscape, while the prose of Hoetzlein Rose are as good as I've ever read - not overly personal, but rather intelligent and engaging. I particularly enjoyed their chapters on Tibetan Children's Village in Dharamsala, and their chapter on Tibetan nuns. I have visited Dharamsala and was brought back to the Himalayan hills that I've come to love by this book. I strongly recommend Living Tibet to anyone who has interest in Tibetan refugees and refugee culture/communities generally, or desires to expand their awareness of Dharamsala.My research interests include Tibetan refugee schools in India and refugee education as a worldwide phenomenon. If you have any information, including web-sites, that may be useful please contact me. I'll enjoy hearing from you. Thanks.
