Thant Myint-U is the greatest living historian of Burma.... His profoundly humane and ethical meditations on national identity, plurality, and the dangers of hyper-nationalism are vital to anyone trying to understand the Rohingya crisis or wrestling with the complexities of modern South or South East Asia., Few countries are as complex--or fascinating--as modern-day Burma. In these pages, Thant Myint-U explains the country's fifteen-year transformation from military junta to peaceful democracy to divided and fractured post-crisis country. A must-read book, not just for those interested in Burma, but for those interested in broader questions of race, national identity and democracy in our 21st century world., Thant Myint-U is a writer with a humane sensibility and a delicate yet pointed touch....Learned yet also intimate, The Hidden History of Burma is an urgent book about a heavy subject., An engrossing new book about Myanmar's troubled, unfinished transition from dictatorship to democratic rule...The Hidden History of Burma should become a guiding reference work for how we view the new Myanmar., Few countries are as complex--or fascinating--as modern-day Burma. In these pages, Thant Myint-U explains the country's fifteen-year transformation from military junta to peaceful democracy to divided and fractured post-crisis country. A must-read book, not just for those interested in Burma, but for those interested in broader questions of race, national identity and democracy in our 21st-century world., Thant Myint-U's most impressive title to date, featuring anecdotes from the author's own extraordinary life., Acute yet empathetic, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the future of Asia and the subcontinent., At once absorbing, illuminating, and humane, Thant Myint-U's work traces the complex gearings of race, identity, and money with the perspective of a scholar and the intimacy of an insider. It's invaluable in helping us understand the complexities not just of contemporary Burma but of our postcolonial world., Thant Myint-U is the greatest living historian of Burma...His profoundly humane and ethical meditations on national identity, plurality, and the dangers of hyper-nationalism are vital to anyone trying to understand the Rohingya crisis or wrestling with the complexities of modern South or South East Asia., Thant Myint-U deftly weaves together factors as diverse as nationalism, capitalism, geopolitics, and social media into a clear-eyed analysis of Burma's troubled past and present. An essential read for anyone who wants to understand Burma and the challenges it must face in the coming decades., The book on Burma I've been waiting to read--a riveting behind-the-scenes account of the country's political and social transition over recent years, a brave unravelling of well-worn myths, and an urgent plea to imagine a new story and better future for Burma.
