Carole McGranahan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado. She is currently in the middle of a research project on refugee citizenship in the Tibetan diaspora, including questions of political asylum and family reunification. Her book Arrested Histories: Tibet, the CIA, and Memories of a Forgotten War tells the history of the grassroots Tibetan Chushi Gangdrug army through the ethnographic study of veterans’ lives and the politics of memory in exile.
