Examines the non-violent protests by monks and nuns in Tibet for independence from China. The movement began in 1987 partly as a result of official Chinese encouragement for cultural and religious revival during the 1980s. The ongoing struggle and response is a case study of the control methods and weaknesses in China as a whole. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
