圖書描述

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.

改開太晚淆

標題用的“hidden”是雙方麵的——無論是緬甸國內還是國際，在很長一段時間裏，都有意無意造成瞭對緬甸民主改革的理想化和過分強調+對其他社會問題（尤其是種族衝突和社會保障極度缺乏）的視而不見，過分著眼於“國”，卻無法落實到“民生”。相對於他的The Making of Modern Burma來說這本也不算是“學術研究”，但作者還是希望通過自己對過去的剖析，提齣關於“現在走的路是否是唯一可行的路”的疑問，並且去引導緬甸社會從一個更貼近民眾也更廣闊的視角去思考更實際的也更長遠的挑戰。另外作者的側重點主要在軍統年代到近年民主改革、經濟改革，並沒有深入談及佛教和民族主義之間的聯係。私認為缺失瞭這一點就不能完整理解緬甸的殖民“遺産”。
