Description
TinTin Delphin presents the recent history, transitional changes, current affairs, and the scenic and cultural highlights in this memoir and political history of Burma. The book provides insight into the multi-ethnic, multi-religion and pluralistic society’s cultures and its friendly people, and what goes on behind the scenes.
Notes from Burma is a first hand narrative of five decades of military dictatorship based on real life experiences and close personal relationships with the top level inner circle of Tatmadaw, the military regime.
People like retired Brigadier General Aung Gyi firmly stood up for their principles against the monopoly of power and authoritarian military control. Here, a member of his own family recounts the dramatic moments when the Generals’ coup was set in motion, and she follows through with a history of all that has unfolded since.
The author also chronicles the rise of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and international human rights icon who campaigned for democracy and human rights in the name of nonviolence. Once she preached the virtues of nonviolent resistance against a military dictatorship, but now she has turned a blind eye to the mass killing, rape and shocking scale of human rights abuses by the military against the Rohingya Muslim minority, tarnishing her much-diminished international reputation. Notes from Burma is a story of the people’s extraordinary courage, tireless dedication, endless sacrifice and defiant struggle for human rights as citizens rise up against the dictators who mercilessly massacred unarmed students and monks.
The plight of the stateless Rohingya has gained world attention and over a dozen books have superbly documented the atrocities committed by the Burmese military, which UN labeled as ethnic cleansing with genocidal intent. Notes from Burma goes a step further to include seldom-discussed broader implications – including the British colonial legacy.
