Summary

"Because the people of Myanmar are relatively isolated from much of the development that has occurred in other parts of the globe, they have managed to maintain core traditions and values that have been in place for thousands of years. But when their way of life is threatened, as it has been during times of political upheaval and various human rights violations that have alarmed international rights watch groups, they have spoken up and mounted protests. Leaders like Aung San Suu Kyi continue to fight for a free and democratically-elected government. The political and economic future of Myanmar remains to be seen, but its people, its customs, its religion, will no doubt continue to endure"--, Provided by publisher
