9788776943233: Waves of Upheaval in Myanmar: Gendered Transformations and Political Transitions

Synopsis

Although the February 2021 military coup brought an end to a decade of far-reaching political, economic and cultural change in Myanmar, the attempt to restore a masculinized, military dictatorship has met widespread popular resistance. Here, women have held a pivotal role in opposition to military rule. This wide-ranging volume - rich in detail and analysis - is not just the first comprehensive account of the multifaceted processes of gendered transformation that took place in Myanmar between 2011 and 2021. It also offers a deeper understanding of the current political situation and of the ways in which the country's political landscape might continue to be reshaped.
