Tina Lauer, Between Desire and Duty: On Tibetan Identity and its Effects on Second-Generation, Asian Ethnology, Vol.74, No.1, 2015.

 This article examines the life of second-generation Tibetans in India and Switzerland. Descendants of Tibetan refugees often feel a responsibility to get politically involved for Tibet or to maintain Tibetan values and cultural tradi- tions. This article focuses on their relationship with their Tibetan origins and raises the question of how, and under what circumstances, the construction and articulation of a so-called Tibetan identity within the diaspora influenc-es the identification of second- generation Tibetans with their Tibetan origins and the Tibetan people in general.
