Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2001. Since the repressive Burmese military regime seized power in 1962, the Burmese people have suffered untold misery and increasingly intolerable living conditions. For many, flight to Thailand has become a saviour, not only just to earn money on which to live but merely to survive. On the Thai side of the border, some have faced almost equally repressive working and living conditions and an uncaring Thai government that has vacillated in its official attitude toward migrant workers. The journey to the new country too is fraught with dangers, dishonesty and double-dealings, most of it from Burmese and Thai government officials and private entrepreneurs alike. The author has lived among such migrants, both along the Thai-Burmese border and in migrant communities in Bangkok. She has documented their stories and plights and presents a harrowing picture of a powerless group caught between two evils. 176 pp., 11 b&w plates, 1 map. A new/unread copy.. First Edition. Soft Cover.…
