This ethnography, the first study in English of the history and place of ethnic Chinese in Burmese society, delineates how they have negotiated the rise of nationalism in both China and Burma and the numerous political and economic challenges that have beset their ancestral and adopted homes. Of central importance to the ability of even fourth- and fifth-generation descendants of Chinese to retain distinctive characteristics, while also acquiring hybrid identities, is the organization of the Chinese quarter in Rangoon around Buddhist temples and associated ritual and educational activities. The Chinese in Rangoon is both an intimate exploration of this community and an illumination of twenty-first-century Burma (Myanmar) during its emergence from decades of isolation imposed by a repressive military regime. As one of the few scholars able to carry out research during this period of transition, Jayde Roberts is able to provide a nuanced view of the Sino-Burmese and the urban environment of Rangoon"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Walking toward understanding -- Hybrid Chinese places in a former colonial capital -- The Hokkien Kuanyin Temple as a center of belonging -- Chinese schools and Chineseness -- Sino-Burmese commerce and City Mart -- Chinese New Year and public space -- Conclusion: Ghosts and uncertainties -- Glossary. 650 0 $a Chinese $z Rangoon $z Rangoon $x History. 650 0 $a Chinese $z Rangoon $z Rangoon $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Chinese $z Rangoon $z Rangoon $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Community life $z Rangoon. $z Rangoon. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Rangoon. $z Rangoon. 650 0 $a Ethnic neighborhoods $z Rangoon. $z Rangoon. 651 0 $a Rangoon (Burma) $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Burma. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z China. 650 0 $a Social change $z Burma. 650 7 $a Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857169 650 7 $a Chinese $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857183 650 7 $a Chinese $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857214 650 7 $a City and town life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862081 650 7 $a Community life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871028 650 7 $a Ethnic neighborhoods. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915999 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 651 7 $a Burma. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207835 651 7 $a Burma $z Rangoon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208575 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Critical dialogues in Southeast Asian studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605013534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38AD52F84DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
