Description

Tibet as I Knew It is a compelling historical memoir by Dr. Tsewang Yishey Pemba, written in the 1990s after his retirement from medical practice and rediscovered by his daughter in 2017. This first-hand account provides an intricate portrayal of early twentieth-century Tibet, offering genuine insights into traditional Tibetan sociology, the country's gradual reforms, and life under the British Raj in India. Drawing from his own experiences growing up in Tibet alongside material from his father's diaries and personal conversations, Pemba creates an authentic historical record of a transformative era. Published by Lexington Books as part of the Studies in Modern Tibetan Culture series, this memoir serves as a valuable primary source for readers interested in Tibetan history, culture, and the personal narratives of those who lived through this pivotal period.
