Repossessing Shanland - Myanmar, Thailand, and a Nation-State Deferred - Jane M. Ferguson - Hardback Bog - University of Wisconsin Press - 2021 -
Brand: University of Wisconsin Press
Description
Based on close readings of Shan-language media and years of ethnographic research in a community of soldiers and their families, Jane Ferguson tells the story of the Shan in their own voices. She shows how they have forged a homeland and identity during upheaval by using state building as a project of resistance, resilience, and accommodation.
