springernichole3's review against another edition
4.0
At first, with a name like 'Savage Dreamland', I want sure what to think. However this book dives into all areas of Burma and not simply the tourist areas. I couldn't find many books about the history of Burma or travel in Burma that was published after British colonial rule. This does a bit of both - history and travel. I enjoyed the spotlight on ethnic minorites and their challenges and stories with living in Burma. I didnt realize how much the book would connect back to India and the surrounding boarder countries. As I'm currently living in India, it was helpful to see what the relationship between India and Burma is. Not a hard read and the book flows well from place to place.
