Publisher's Synopsis

In February 2021, Myanmar experienced the third coup d'état in its modern history. Unprecedented strength was displayed by Myanmar civil society as it fought back against these new authoritarian drives. Where did this strength come from?

Fearing the loss of the benefits gained in the previous decade of reforms (2011-2021), students, teachers, professors, and activists fuelled the Spring Revolution. To understand what is happening in Myanmar, this book outlines the historical efforts by Myanmar universities to advocate for a more just society and offers unique insight into the long-lasting struggle of education against authoritarianism.

By exploring Myanmar's social and political struggles through the lens of higher education resistance, the book offers a compelling narrative about the life of the country following the latest coup d'état, an event that continues to puzzle the international community.
