81. SOAS: South East Asia: Burmese
    From School of Oriental and african Studies, University of London. Contains background information on the Burmese language, index of books and guides.  
    http://www.soas.ac.uk/SouthEastAsia/Burmese.html
    
    Extractions: Department of the Languages and Cultures of South East Asia and the Islands Burmese Language Teaching Centres Worldwide Burma was officially renamed Myanmar in 1989, but the change of name has not yet been universally adopted. The country is perhaps best known today as the home of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner who spent 1989-1995 and 2000-2002 under house arrest.. Burma is bordered by India and Bangladesh on the west, and by China, Laos and Thailand on the east. Until 1885 it was ruled by kings who lived in great style and splendour, fervently supporting Buddhism and the arts, and from time to time pursuing wars against their neighbours. The monarchy was followed by a period as a British colony, then, in 1948, by independence and a period of parliamentary democracy. In 1962 the army took over the government and discouraged visits by foreigners, giving Burma a reputation for inaccessibility. The present administration, though still military, is holding talks designed to pave the way for multiparty democracy and is actively encouraging foreign business and tourism. Currently Burma has a population of around 42 million, and Burmese is the language of the largest ethnic group (the "Burmans") in this total. Other ethnic groups - Karen, Shan, Kachin, Chin, Mon, Wa and others - each have their own language or languages, but all recognize Burmese as the national language of the country. It is the language of education and the media, of business and administration, and of communication between ethnic groups.

82. Title Details - Cambridge University Press
    of Simon Gikandi's study of Ngugi's works. Includes chapter contents and ordering information.  
    http://uk.cambridge.org/literature/catalogue/052148006X/
    
    Extractions: Literature Kenyan dramatist and novelist, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, is regarded as one of the most influential African writers today, not only for his creative work but also for his criticism of wider cultural issues - issues such as nation and narration, power and performance, language and identity, empire and postcoloniality. Simon Gikandi’s study offers a comprehensive analysis of all Ngugi’s published work and explores the development of the major novels and plays against a background of colonialism and decolonisation in Kenya. Gikandi places the works in a context that examines the way they engage with the changing history of Africa. Tracing Ngugi’s career from the 1960s through to his role in shaping a radical culture in East Africa in the 1970s and his imprisonment and exile in the 1980s, this book provides fresh insight into the author’s life and the historic events that produced his work.
