Why read it?
1 author picked Fifty Years in the Karen Revolution in Burma as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I knew Saw Ralph and Naw Sheera when we were in Manerplaw, which used to be the headquarters of the Karen resistance, in Burma. As a little girl, I often followed my mother Nant Kyin Shwe to her workplace and remembered seeing Naw Sheera in the office of the Karen Women's Organisation. When I read her book, it reminds me of all the places and the people, and my beautiful childhood in, Kawthoolei, Burma.
From Zoya's list on the Karen and human rights that inspire me.
