What's the difference between a right and an opportunity in Burma,
and how do people resist or refuse the blunt biopolitics employed
by its military rulers? In this episode, Elliott Prasse-Freeman,
Assistant Professer of Sociology and Anthropology at the National
University of Singapore, discusses his new book Rights
Refused: Grassroots Activism and State Violence in Myanmar,
published by Stanford University Press, which investigates
activists' lives in the years preceding the 2021 military
coup, and after.
