The Voice of Young Burma

Language: English
Published/Copyright: 2018

About this book

This work explores the history of the university in Burma, both as an institution founded by the colonizing British, and as a medium for change that was used by Burmese students in their struggles for independence. Aye Kyaw describes student protests, strikes, and boycotts that were part of a nationalist movement calling for the study of Burmese culture, history, and language. As this discourse evolved, it invited radical explorations of such concepts as democracy, justice, and freedom.

Reviews

A leading Burmese historian... demonstrates vividly the divergence in British and Burmese views on the role and purpose of education.
