Book Synopsis British Colonial Policy in Burma by : Aparna Mukherjee
Download or read book British Colonial Policy in Burma written by Aparna Mukherjee and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revealing study of British colonial policy in an important region of South-East Asia, i.e. , Burma. The period covered is 1840-1886. British territorial expansion and vigorous commercial thrust in Burma began with the two treaties concluded in 1826 at the end of the First Burmese War. As a result of commercial disputes and diplomatic wrang-lings the British Residency in Burma was withdrawn in 1840. The story is taken up at this point, and the political-cum-commercial ramifications of British policy are carefully analysed on the basis of unpublished primary sources. The Second Burmese War, the annexation of Pegu, the Phayre Mission, the re-establishment of the residency, the commercial treaties of 1862 and 1867, and the circumstances leading to the fall of Thibaw are studied in great detail. Subjects such as British penetration into the Karen region and unsuccessful British attempts to open a trade route to the Chinese province of Yunnan through Upper Burma have been treated here for the first time. The efforts of the Burmese Kings to open political and commercial relations, with European Powers, particularly France, and her policy of extending her control from her base in Indo-China, provide an interesting glimpse into Franco-British rivalry in South- East Asia. No previous historical work attached due importance to this aspect of British intrusion into Burma.

Book Synopsis Indo-Burma Frontier and the Making of the Chin Hills by : Pum Khan Pau
Download or read book Indo-Burma Frontier and the Making of the Chin Hills written by Pum Khan Pau and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the British colonial expansion in the so-called unadministered hill tracts of the Indo-Burma frontier and the change of colonial policy from non-intervention to intervention. The book begins with the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–26), which resulted in the British annexation of the North-Eastern Frontier of Bengal and the extension of its sway over the Arakan and Manipur frontiers, and closes with the separation of Burma from India in 1937. The volume documents the resistance of the indigenous hill peoples to colonial penetration; administrative policies such as disarmament; subjugation of the local chiefs under a colonial legal framework and its impact; standardisation of ‘Chin’ as an ethnic category for the fragmented tribes and sub-tribes; and the creation and consolidation of the Chin Hills District as a political entity to provide an extensive account of British relations with the indigenous Chin/Zo community from 1824 to 1935. By situating these within the larger context of British imperial policy, the book makes a critical analysis of the British approach towards the Indo-Burma frontier. With its coverage of key archival sources and literature, this book will interest scholars and researchers in modern Indian history, military history, colonial history, British history, South Asian history and Southeast Asian history.
Book Synopsis A History of Modern Burma by : Michael W. Charney
Download or read book A History of Modern Burma written by Michael W. Charney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burma has lived under military rule for nearly half a century. The results of its 1990 elections were never recognized by the ruling junta and Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Burma's pro-democracy movement, was denied her victory. She has been under house-arrest ever since. Now an economic satellite and political dependent of the People's Republic of China, Burma is at a crossroads. Will it become another North Korea, will it succumb to China's political embrace or will the people prevail? Michael Charney's book- the first general history of modern Burma in over five decades - traces the highs and lows of Burma's history from its colonial past to the devastation of Cyclone Nargis in 2008. By exploring key themes such as the political division between lowland and highland Burma and monastic opposition to state control, the author explains the forces that have made the country what it is today.

Book Synopsis Chinese in Colonial Burma by : Yi Li
Download or read book Chinese in Colonial Burma written by Yi Li and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using previously unexplored archives from colonial institutions and individuals, and primary materials produced by the Burmese Chinese, this comprehensive study investigates over a century of history of the Burmese Chinese under British colonial rule. Due to the peculiar position of Burma in the British imperial world and the Southeast Asian Chinese network, the Chinese community had a unique experience in a Southeast Asian colony governed by Europeans with an India-based system. This book reveals, through everyday life experience, prominent community figures, and milestone events, the internal rivalry and integration among different regional groups within the community, and the general impressions it left in contemporary observations and communal memories. The book also traces historical roots of some unsolved ethnic issues in present-day Myanmar.
Book Synopsis The Collapse of British Rule in Burma by : Michael D. Leigh
Download or read book The Collapse of British Rule in Burma written by Michael D. Leigh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1942 colonial Burma was in a state of military, economic and constitutional collapse. Japanese forces controlled almost the whole country and thousands of evacuees were trapped in a huge area of no-man's-land in the north. They made their way to India through the so-called 'jungles of death', attempting to trek out of Burma amidst perilous conditions. Drawing on diverse and previously unpublished accounts, Michael D. Leigh analyses the experiences of evacuees in both Burma and India and critically examines the impact of evacuation on colonial and Burmese politics in the lead-up to independence in 1948. This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Burmese history, 20th-century imperialism and the global reach of the Second World War.
Book Synopsis Burma Under British Rule and Before by : John Nisbet
Download or read book Burma Under British Rule and Before written by John Nisbet and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an early 20th century history that provides insight into British colonialism, specifically the occupation of Burma. From the preface: "Many books are now written about distant lands by those who have only a very slight acquaintance with them, and such usually form very pleasant reading. Burma has received a fair share of this sort of attention from casual visitors, but the present work is not one of these books written in lighter vein. It is intended to be a comprehensive treatise on one of the richest provinces of our Indian Empire, and it embodies knowledge and experience acquired there in a service extending over nearly twenty-five years. During that time great political, commercial, and social changes have taken place throughout Burma and among the Burmese, and the main objects of this book are to describe these, and to show how they have already affected and are bound still more to affect the land and the people. It tries to describe the latter as they were, and as they now are. The historical sketch of Burma has been confined solely to what is necessary in order to understand the position of affairs at different times. The scheme which has been followed was to treat each subject comprehensively in a chapter by itself. One drawback to this method is the necessity for occasional repetitions and references to previous pages, but the advantages seemed to outweigh this disadvantage. The French position in Indo-China has of course been dealt with at considerable length. But even since the chapter dealing with "Britain and France in Further India and Western China" has been passed for press, matters affecting French railway enterprise in south-western China have again advanced. The latest account of the existing position will be found in an article on " The French Railway into Yun-nan " in the Times of July 22, 1901, to which the attention of those specially interested in this subject may be drawn."

Book Synopsis Bengalis in Burma by : Parthasarathi Bhaumik
Download or read book Bengalis in Burma written by Parthasarathi Bhaumik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bengalis in Burma looks at Bengali migrations and settlements in Burma from 1886 until the end of the British rule in Burma in 1948. As a result of British colonial policies, thousands of Bengalis from various classes and places in Bengal migrated to Burma and established Bengali communities in different parts of the country. The book provides a study of a vast body of Bangla writings on Burma written during this period by the Bengalis, a majority of whom went to Burma in various capacities and with various objectives. It takes note of a complex network of power, subjugation, and resistance which is integrally related to these acts of representation in Bangla textual discourses. Drawing on stories, political discussions in Bangla journals, unknown autobiographies, travelogues, and uncelebrated poems, it explores the ways contemporary Bengalis looked at Burma for various reasons and wondered about their locations within colonial systems. An important contribution to the study of South Asia, the book brings forth issues of representation, colonial knowledge system, and modernity. It will be of interest to students and researchers of history, literature, migration studies, colonialism, and South Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Colonizing Animals by : Jonathan Saha
Download or read book Colonizing Animals written by Jonathan Saha and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals were vital to the British colonization of Myanmar. In this pathbreaking history of British imperialism in Myanmar from the early nineteenth century to 1942, Jonathan Saha argues that animals were impacted and transformed by colonial subjugation. By examining the writings of Burmese nationalists and the experiences of subaltern groups, he also shows how animals were mobilized by Burmese anticolonial activists in opposition to imperial rule. In demonstrating how animals - such as elephants, crocodiles, and rats - were important actors never fully under the control of humans, Saha uncovers a history of how British colonialism transformed ecologies and fostered new relationships with animals in Myanmar. Colonizing Animals introduces the reader to an innovative historical methodology for exploring interspecies relationships in the imperial past, using innovative concepts for studying interspecies empires that draw on postcolonial theory and critical animal studies.

Book Synopsis Civilizing Burma by : Carey McCormack
Download or read book Civilizing Burma written by Carey McCormack and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: From 1880 to 1900 British cultural ideologies determined how Burmese men and women were represented in literature and later determined colonial policy. The images of the childlike and lazy Burmese man and the independent Burmese woman were British constructions that legitimized colonization. By focusing primarily on British cultural representations of the people of Burma, this study demonstrates how the British utilized Victorian ideas of gender and normative sexuality to legitimize colonial rule by defining and categorizing Burma within the British Empire. The British literature analyzed in this paper consists of popular travel writing, soldier accounts, and missionary writing in order to evidence the varying and similar representations given by authors from these genres. These definitions situated Burma in the larger colonial context and became a site where British manhood and domesticity were constructed and put into practice. British representations of the men and women of colonial Burma were informed by gendered ideals and racial prejudice. The significance of the texts used in this study lies in their blatant use of gendered language in order to categorize and define the Burmese people as primitive which in turn defined colonization as a civilizing mission.

Download or read book Burma Under British Rule (Classic Reprint) written by Joseph Dautremer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule It is always interesting to see ourselves as others see us. M. Dautremer was long enough Consul for France in Rangoon to get a good knowledge of the country, and he has written a most informing book about Burma for the benefit of his fellow-countrymen. He is a fearless critic, and does not hesitate to point out that Burma offers much that both the French Government and the settlers in Cochin-China and Tongking might copy with advantage. His book is much more like a consular report of the ideal kind than a mere description of the country. There have been very, many books about Burma, some of them mere picture-books with letterpress thrown in, like the flour that is required to keep, a plum-pudding together; others perilously like popularized encyclopaedias; quite a good many, the haphazard reflections of more or less observant and industrious fine-weather tourists, whose impressions are sometimes as diverting as the diary, of Li Hung-chang in Europe, but mostly without his wit and shrewdness.
