{"product_id":"living-silence-in-burma-christina-fink-9781848132726","title":"Living Silence in Burma","description":"\u003cp\u003eEight years after the first edition of this insightful and highly regarded book, Burma remains one of the most troubled nations in Southeast Asia. While other countries have democratized and prospered, Burma is governed by a repressive military dictatorship and is the second largest producer of heroin in the world. In this exceptionally readable yet scholarly account of Burma today, Christina Fink gives a moving and insightful picture of what life under military rule is like. Through the extensive interviews conducted inside and outside the country, we begin to understand Burma's political and domestic situation and a comprehensive understanding of why military rule has lasted so long. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis significantly revised new edition includes material taking the reader up to present day action and accounts, including the impacts of the dramatic 2007 monks' demonstrations, which were coordinated with former student activists and members of Aung San Suu Kyi's party. The book explores the regime's continued attempts to weaken and divide the democratic movement and the ethnic nationalist organizations and explains how the democratic movement and ethnic groups have sought to achieve their goals; in part, by working more closely together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Fink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848132727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848132726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Christina Fink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984403333375,"sku":"9781848132726","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89c44700-6d97-45ad-b18a-331fb959f53c.jpg?v=1683272112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-silence-in-burma-christina-fink-9781848132726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
