- The book is a culmination of sustained ethnographic research from 2009 to 2011 in Japan and Myanmar. It involved participant observation at multiple sites across Japan and Myanmar following a Japanese NGO, interviewing a wide range of actors in both countries, and examining archival material. Fieldwork had to contend with Myanmar government restrictions on research and with the remoteness of the NGO’s project site. The book is the culmination of 7 years of post-fieldwork analysis and writing, including the production of peer-reviewed articles, presentations for various audiences, and feedback from diverse commentators.
