图书描述

How did one of the world’s "buzzy hotspots" (Fodor’s 2013) become one of the top ten places to avoid (Fodor’s 2018)?

Precariously positioned between China and India, Burma’s population has suffered dictatorship, natural disaster, and the dark legacies of colonial rule. But when decades of military dictatorship finally ended and internationally beloved Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi emerged from long years of house arrest, hopes soared. World leaders such as Barack Obama ushered in waves of international support. Progress seemed inevitable.

As historian, former diplomat, and presidential advisor, Thant Myint-U saw the cracks forming. In this insider’s diagnosis of a country at a breaking point, he dissects how a singularly predatory economic system, fast-rising inequality, disintegrating state institutions, the impact of new social media, the rise of China next door, climate change, and deep-seated feelings around race, religion, and national identity all came together to challenge the incipient democracy. Interracial violence soared and a horrific exodus of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees fixed international attention. Myint-U explains how and why this happened, and details an unsettling prognosis for the future.

Burma is today a fragile stage for nearly all the world’s problems. Are democracy and an economy that genuinely serves all its people possible in Burma? In clear and urgent prose, Myint-U explores this question―a concern not just for the Burmese but for the rest of the world―warning of the possible collapse of this nation of 55 million while suggesting a fresh agenda for change.

标题用的“hidden”是双方面的——无论是缅甸国内还是国际,在很长一段时间里,都有意无意造成了对缅甸民主改革的理想化和过分强调+对其他社会问题(尤其是种族冲突和社会保障极度缺乏)的视而不见,过分着眼于“国”,却无法落实到“民生”。相对于他的The Making of Modern Burma来说这本也不算是“学术研究”,但作者还是希望通过自己对过去的剖析,提出关于“现在走的路是否是唯一可行的路”的疑问,并且去引导缅甸社会从一个更贴近民众也更广阔的视角去思考更实际的也更长远的挑战。 另外作者的侧重点主要在军统年代到近年民主改革、经济改革,并没有深入谈及佛教和民族主义之间的联系。私认为缺失了这一点就不能完整理解缅甸的殖民“遗产”。
