Book synopsis

The postage stamps of Burma, like stamps of other countries the world over, are a colourful visual record of a unique history. Stamps represent the British colonial government through the Japanese occupation, the British military administration, Burmese independence, the revolutionary council, and the Burmese Way to Socialism. But what of the most significant event in Burma's modern history - the pro-democracy uprising of 1988? No stamp depicts it. This imaginative book features each stamp issued in Burma until 1988, ending with a series of stamps specially created by Min Sun Min, to be issued, he says, "one day, when Burma is free." Min Sun Min is a freedom fighter, writer, educator, and artist. He is teaches graphic design at colleges and universities in New York.
