Rights Refused: Grassroots Activism and State Violence in Myanmar

“Rights Refused is an ethnography of political activists’ lives, attending to spaces such as the “hide house” and to the kinds of decisions debated and made there—when to protest, when to flee, how to mobilize others, how to withstand violence—that are then materialized on the streets, along paddy fields, in industrial zones, and eventually within jungle bases.” Join us on 30 October to hear Elliott Prasse-Freeman, Assistant professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the National University of Singapore, talk about his new book, ”Rights Refused: Grassroots Activism and State Violence in Myanmar”.
