The book also offers an interpretation of the dynamics of resistance to the attempted military coup of 2021.CommunitiesReligious aspectsIslamCommunitiesReligious aspectsHinduismBurmaReligious life and customsRangoon (Burma)Religious life and customsCommunitiesReligious aspectsIslam.CommunitiesReligious aspectsHinduism.306.609591Beyer Judithauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1626359University of KonstanzCentre for Cultural Inquiry (ZKF)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910842599603321Rethinking community in Myanmar4206004UNINA
