Reforms in Myanmar (formerly Burma) have eased restrictions on
citizens' political activities. Yet for most Burmese, Ardeth Maung
Thawnghmung shows, eking out a living from day to day leaves little
time for civic engagement. Citizens have coped with extreme
hardship through great resourcefulness. But by making bad
situations more tolerable in the short term, these coping
strategies may hinder the emergence of the democratic values needed
to sustain the country's transition to a more open political
environment. Thawnghmung conducted in-depth interviews and surveys
of 372 individuals from all walks of life and across geographical
locations in Myanmar between 2008 and 2015. To frame her analysis,
she provides context from countries with comparable political and
economic situations. Her findings will be welcomed by political
scientists and policy analysts, as well by journalists and
humanitarian activists looking for substantive, reliable
information about everyday life in a country that remains largely
in the shadows.
