San San Tin & Carolyn Wakeman 
No Time for Dreams [PDF ebook] 
Living in Burma Under Military Rule

Support

Compelling images of cinnamon-robed monks confronting the guns and clubs of Burmas military junta outraged the world in September 2007. Then communications links were cut, and curfews, interrogations, midnight raids, beatings, and arrests crushed the remnants of defiance. Tragically, it had all happened before. No Time for Dreams narrates a remarkable womans search over four decades for independence and purpose as repression spreads throughout her country, once known as the Golden Land.Inspired by the legacy of her father, Ba Tins struggle against British colonialism beginning in the 1930s, San San Tin infuses her journey from school girl to journalist and, briefly, to businesswoman with an unbroken spirit of resistance. Offering a compassionate insiders view of politics, culture, religion, and family during nearly half a century of unrelenting dictatorship, this riveting personal story traces an arc of decline to reveal the bitter fate of a once-prosperous and cosmopolitan society.
