Book Description
'In Search of Myanmar: Travels through a Changing Land' is a witty and informative travel memoir that combines a personal narrative with political journalism.Eager to learn whether the country had changed much since the dissolution of its military dictatorship six years earlier, James travelled round Myanmar for nine months, investigating everything from the roots of the Rohingya genocide to the legacy of 'Miss Hairy Legs', the lesbian opium princess of Kokang.While his journalistic endeavours revealed fascinating and, at times, haunting truths about Myanmar, numerous encounters with curious characters ensured his journey was never dull. These included an obese monk, who wanted to know if there were many 'fat bastards' like himself in the UK, and a local English teacher, who claimed to have played football with the decapitated heads of Japanese soldiers during World War Two. Complete with maps and illustrations from the Mandalay artist Chuu Wai Nyein, 'In Search of Myanmar' is ideal for prospective travellers to Myanmar as well as for those wishing to gain an overview of this complex and fascinating country.
