The eclipse augusto monterroso analysis11/13/2022 As Tsering Shakya points out, “Tibet has remained outside the scrutiny of postcolonialist discourse”, while in Tibetan studies, “questions drawn from critical studies on the postcolonial discourse have never been raised” (2001: 183). Tibet complicates the category ‘postcolonial’ and warns against any naïve assumptions about postcolonialism. Ironically, it was ‘colonised’ by the post-colonial China at a time when the rest of the world was witnessing movements for political decolonisation. Given that the focus of postcolonialism is predominantly on the West-non-West relations, where does Tibet fit in?
