Burma: Insurgency and the Politics of Ethnicity de Martin Smith

Burma: Insurgency and the Politics of Ethnicity

Autor Martin Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 1999
Burma remains a land in deep crisis. The popular uprising of 1988 swept away 26 years of military rule under General Ne Win in name only. The National League for Democracy of Aung San Suu Kyi won a landslide victory in the 1990 election. But, as this book relates, the military remained in control and the future of Burma looks more problematic than ever.

With unparalleled command of largely inaccessible Burmese sources and interviews with many of the leading participants, Martin Smith charts the rise of modern political parties and unravels the complexities of the long-running insurgencies waged by opposition groups, including the Communist Party of Burma, the Karen National Union and a host of other ethnic nationalist movements. It is essential reading for those interested in the conditions giving rise to guerrilla warfare, the character of national liberation movements, and the impact of ethnicity on political conflict.

Recenzii

For an understanding of Burma's prolonged, continuing and largely unknown crisis no better work is available than this detailed, well-written and informative book.
Reportage at its best: expansive in concept, detailed in execution, passionate in its search for truth. An exceptional book.
Smith's book fills a void in Burma studies which will make it the basic reference work for years to come.
A masterful documentary history.
The definitive work on what is indeed the central problem in Burma.
An extremely detailed and well-organized look at the country's civil war.
Outstanding. Smith has woven a seamless narrative which interrelates the modern history of the heartland with the hills and finally makes sense of the complex history of the country. He has set a new standard in field research.
Smith's book, with its mass of original information on the post-independence history of the country's regional and ethnic movements, is a landmark.
