- Abstract
- Since the beginning of the Tibetan diaspora, English-language testimonial practices, ranging from perormed oral accounts to full-length autobiographical texts, have emerged as key forms of cultural production within refugee communities. Frequently circulated as part of the political and rights-based activities of the Tibetan independence movement, these life narrative practices can be seen as increasingly important forms of non-violent transnational policical action in the diaspora.
