| Description | This book examines Anglophone literature and dynamics of gender and race in relation to Burma and brings a critical lens to contemporary literature, film, and politics through the use of an innovative feminist/queer methodology. The book demonstrates how Burmese women break out of prisons, both real and discursive, by writing themselves into being. Ho assembles an archive that includes George Orwell, Aung San Suu Kyi, critically acclaimed authors Ma Ma Lay and Wendy Law-Yone, and activist Zoya Phan. Her close readings of literature and politicized performances by women in Burma, the Burmese diaspora, and the United States illuminate their contributions as authors, cultural mediators, and practitioner-citizens. These authors articulate regionally situated knowledges and decolonizing viewpoints that interrogate competing transnational hegemonies, such as U.S. moral imperialism and Asian militarized dictatorship. |
