About This Item
Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.: Southwest Acupuncture College Press - Triple Tiger Tales, 1990. First Edition Stated . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 212 Pages. Perhaps more poetic, conclusively more passionate than the journalistic accounts of the tragedy of Tiananmen Square which have tended to center around political analyses, this personal odyssey simultaneously steeps us in Chinese culture as it plunges us into the depths of the human experience. A vivid, spellbinding and hopeful note that makes the heart cry. Skya Gardner-Abbate is the dean of a small medical college in the Santa Fe. Her academic training prior to medicine was in sociology, still a pursuit of hers today. Skya was a student in Beijing for thirteen days leading up and following the Tiananmen massacre. Her story is not a factual account of the blood bath that occurred. Rather, she has chosen to write about her personal experience, the grief and horror she felt in the face of brutal death, and the helplessness of a people imprisoned by a government purportedly devoted to them.
