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

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The history of Myanmar is one defined by change. The names of its cities have changed over time, and even the name of the nation itself has changed from Burma to Myanmar! Readers trace these changes through updated main text that covers both historical and current events in detail. In addition, fact boxes highlight the language, geography, and other amazing aspects of life in Myanmar. Readers are also introduced to the concept of global citizenship as they explore sidebars that include biographies of inspiring citizens. Full-color photographs, maps, and recipes add even more to this educational and engaging reading experience.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 141-142) and index.
