Yangon Days
Stories of ordinary residents who work and live in the bustling city of Yangon Once known as Rangoon, Yangon is the former capital of Myanmar, Burma, and one of the major commercial cities in Southeast Asia. A bustling hub with many businesses and social activities, it is a greener pasture for both locals and expats. It ushers people to come, live, and work in it. While most Yangon residents enjoy the success and prosperity that the commercial city offers, some simply meet failure and frustration. Nevertheless, a city is a city, welcoming people who want to take refuge in its bountifulness. Narrated in the original voices of Yangonites, voices that are sometimes tinged with irony and satire, the stories reveal their delight, empathy, follies, and humanness.

The Museum in Asia
The Museum in Asia advances an understanding of the flourishing museum landscape in the region by offering a variety of conceptual tools and frameworks through which museum development can be analysed and understood. Informed by the key theoretical tenets of critical museology and heritage studies, this volume seeks to deconstruct the idea of museology and the museum phenomenon in East, South and Southeast Asia to identify common themes and trends unique to Asia. Drawing on case studies from ten different countries in Asia, including China and India, it proffers a set of analytical tools to think through how we can understand and conceptualise the study of museums and museology in Asia.
