"""Waves of Upheaval in Myanmar: Gendered Transformations and Political Transitions, edited by Elisabeth Olivius and Jenny Hedstr�m, assembles 13 essays from both scholars and activists who work on gender issues in Myanmar. . . . We are treated to explorations of gender not just, for instance, in lowland Bamar areas, but in ethnic spaces as well (from Karen, Kachin, and Rakhine states, to locations outside Myanmar's borders as well). . . we get not only classic academic analyses of gender in Burma, but hear the voices of activists themselves. . . These multiple perspectives allow the volume's texts to engage in conversation with one another - and often explicitly. . .""-- ""Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia"""
