This paper endeavours to provide an understanding of the evolving concepts of identity and nationalism among the current generation of Tibetan writers, while considering the underlying factors that drive this transformation. The study will primarily focus on Yangzom Brauen's memoir, "Across Many Mountains," as a means to trace the profound changes within the Tibetan community. These changes reflect a shift from their historical identity as an agrarian, seemingly primitive ethnic group in the not-so-distant past, to a contemporary, self-reliant, and forward-thinking diasporic community.
