The Hidden History of Burma: Race, Capitalism, and the Crisis of Democracy in the 21st Century

byThant Myint-U

The Hidden History of Burma examines race, Capitalism, and the Crisis of Democracy in the 21st Century, combining Thant Myint-U's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The Hidden History of Burma leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
