Nowhere to Be Home: Narratives From Survivors of Burma's Military Regime by Maggie Lemere

Nowhere to Be Home is an eye-opening collection of oral histories exposing the realities of life under military rule. In their own words, men and women from Burma describe their lives in the country that Human Rights Watch has called the textbook example of a police state.

Nowhere to Be Home Reviews

Given the heavy censorship in Burma, and the long standing control by a military junta there, the book may be the only opportunity the narrators have to share their stories with the outside world. -SFGate With publication of a Burmese translation of the book Nowhere to Be Home, made possible in no small part by the demise of state censorship, narratives from survivors of Burma's former military regime will finally be heard locally. -Kyaw Phyo Tha for The Irrawaddy
