Repossessing Shanland: Myanmar, Thailand, and a Nation-State Deferred: New Perspectives in SE Asian Studies
Autor Jane M. Fergusonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2022
Based on close readings of Shan-language media and years of ethnographic research in a community of soldiers and their families, Jane M. Ferguson details the origins of these movements and tells the story of the Shan in their own voices. She shows how the Shan have forged a homeland and identity during great upheaval by using state building as an ongoing project of resistance, resilience, and accommodation within both countries. In avoiding a good/bad moral binary and illuminating cultural complexities, Repossessing Shanland offers a fresh perspective on identity formation, transformation, and how people understand and experience borderlands today.

Recenzii
“An outstanding, unique contribution. Vividly recounts the lives of former Shan soldiers, who have managed to survive, preserve, and reconstruct their cultural identities within and along the perimeters set by two neighboring nation-states. Comparative, yet nuanced; informative, yet lively and fun—Repossessing Shanland will appeal to a wide range of audiences.”—Ardeth Thawnghmung, author of Everyday Economic Survival in Myanmar
“A historically thorough and ethnographically thick account. . . . I was captivated by Ferguson’s empathetic writings about the Shan people and their striving for an independent Shanland. She presents attentive analyses to unpack the forces and historical contingencies – and their interrelationships – shaping the repossession project.”—The Review, International Institute for Asian Studies
