This paper explores how Tibetans in exile as refugees, challenge typical constructs of "the refugee" and exemplify how a people are able to empower themselves even within contexts that mitigate against it. It contributes to a growing body of scholarship that attempts to reframe refugee studies and overturn conventional paradigms that conceptually marginalize and victimize people who are refugees. The paper is based on field-work conducted in Tibetan settlements in India in 1993-1994 in which the author investigated issues of Tibetan identity within the context of international politics.
本文探讨了流亡海外的藏人作为难民如何挑战“难民”的典型概念，并举例说明了一个民族即使在不利于自身发展的环境中也能够实现自我赋权。它为越来越多的学术研究做出了贡献，这些研究试图重新构建难民研究，并推翻那些在概念上使难民边缘化和使其成为受害者的传统范式。本文基于1993年至1994年在印度藏人聚居地进行的实地调查，作者在该调查中研究了国际政治背景下的藏人身份问题。
