Myanmar's Spring Revolution: Students, Higher Education and Political Change

By Marie Lall and Ikuko Okamoto

Drawing on firsthand research in a conflict-affected region, this book offers a powerful case study of revolution, displacement, and institutional failure after Myanmar's 2021 military coup.

The 2021 military coup in Myanmar was received as a moral shock by a large part of the country's population. The book gives voice to the students and academics who were key to the youth-led post-coup protests and are still fighting the military with their bodies and minds, by taking up arms and creating their own higher education institutions.
