On the Shadow Tracks: A Journey through Occupied Myanmar

Description

“On the Shadow Tracks” by Clare Hammond details her five-year investigation into a network of mysterious, unmapped railways she discovered in Myanmar in 2016. Her journey across the country, often on dilapidated tracks through contested regions, reveals a complex Myanmar through its people’s stories. The book is a travelogue, an account of Myanmar’s recent history, and an engagement with Britain’s colonial legacy.
