Inhaltsangabe

Striking new insights into understanding community in Myanmar In this first anthropological study of Muslim and Hindu lives in urban Myanmar today, Beyer develops the concept of 'we-formation' to demonstrate that individuals are always more than members of wider groups.

'We-formation' complements her rich political, legal and historical analysis of 'community', a term used by Beyer's interlocutors themselves, even as it reinforces ethno-religious stereotypes and their own minority status. The book also offers an interpretation of the dynamics of resistance to the attempted military coup of 2021.
