Nowhere to Be Home: Narratives From Survivors of Burma’s Military Regime

Nowhere to Be Home: Narratives From Survivors of Burma’s Military Regime

Author(s): Maggie Lemere (editor), Zoe West (editor)

Location(s): Burma (Myanmar)

Genre(s): Nonfiction, Short Stories

Era(s): late 20th / early 21st century

Decades of military oppression in Burma have led to the systematic destruction of thousands of ethnic minority villages, a standing army with one of the world’s highest number of child soldiers, and the displacement of millions of people.

Nowhere to Be Home is an eye-opening collection of oral histories exposing the realities of life under military rule. In their own words, men and women from Burma describe their lives in the country that Human Rights Watch has called “the textbook example of a police state.”
