![]() | Mapping Chinese Rangoon: Place and Nation among the Sino-Burmese Subjects: Chinese -- Burma -- Rangoon -- History; Chinese -- Burma -- Rangoon -- Social conditions; Chinese -- Burma -- Rangoon -- Ethnic identity; Community life -- Burma -- Rangoon; City and town life -- Burma -- Rangoon; Ethnic neighborhoods -- Burma -- Rangoon; ; Mapping Chinese Rangoon is both an intimate exploration of the Sino-Burmese, people of Chinese descent who identify with and choose to remain in Burma/Myanmar, and an illumination of twenty-first-century Burma during its emergence from decades of military-imposed isolation. This spatial ethnography examines how the Sino-Burmese have lived in between states, cognizant of the insecurity in their unclear political status but aware of the social and economic possibilities in this gray zone between two oppressive regimes.
