  • Aung San Suu Kyi Ein Leben Für Die Freiheit
    Unverkäufliche Leseprobe Andreas Lorenz Aung San Suu Kyi Ein Leben für die Freiheit 336 Seiten mit 22 Abbildungen und 1 Karte. Gebunden ISBN: 978-3-406-67509-6 Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier: http://www.chbeck.de/14291896 © Verlag C.H.Beck oHG, München Vorwort Vorwort Das erste Mal sah ich sie persönlich im Mai 1996 bei einer ihrer Zaun- reden in der University Avenue 54, das letzte Mal im Juni 2014 in der Kantine des Parlaments in der neuen Hauptstadt Naypyidaw. Sie saß an einem Tisch mit Abgeordneten der ethnischen Minderheiten. Als ich sie fotografi eren wollte, stellte sich ein Parlamentsbeamter in den Weg: «No photos.» Aung San Suu Kyi hatte die Szene beobachtet, schüttelte fast unmerklich den Kopf und lächelte. Aber auch sie selbst schottet sich ab, lässt sich nur selten intervie- wen, auch schriftliche Fragen hat sie für dieses Buch nicht beantwor- tet. Sie ist bekannt dafür, dass sie ihre Privatsphäre streng abschirmt. «Zu viel zu tun, zu wenig Zeit», schrieb sie in einer E-Mail. Wie also eine Biografi e über eine Person schreiben, von der fast jeder Mensch auf dieser Welt schon einmal etwas gehört hat, die in jüngerer Zeit aber nur wenig von sich preisgibt? Ich habe deshalb versucht, so viele Quellen wie möglich zusammen- zutragen und viele Zeitzeugen und Wegbegleiter Aung San Suu Kyis zu befragen. Auch bei öffentlichen Auftritten habe ich sie oft beobachtet. Um Aung San Suu Kyi kennenzulernen und zu verstehen, reicht es nicht aus, ihren eigenen Werdegang zu beschreiben. Ihre Person ist nicht ohne die Geschichte ihres Vaters Aung San, des Nationalhelden, und auch nicht ohne die jüngere Geschichte ihres Landes zu erklären.

The visible and the invisible, seen and imagined, constitute each other through endless feedback. (Bartmanski/Alexander 2012: 6) 19.
