Aung San Suu Kyi - Biography However, hundreds of people could still be in detention or face detention because of their political activities, ethnicity or religion in Burma and none of the repressive laws allowing the military-backed government to detain people without trial and restrict other freedoms have been repealed. They had two sons, Alexander and Kim. The military regime responded to the uprising with brute force, killing up to 5, demonstrators on 8th August Following a military coup on 18th Septemberon 24th September a new pro-democracy party, the National League for Democracy, was formed. Aung San Suu Kyi gave numerous speeches calling for freedom and democracy, and political activities continued across the country. Aung San Suu Kyi was banned from personally standing in the election. Despite conditions around the elections being far from free and fair with Aung San Suu Kyi and other democracy activists being detained, biased media, and intimidation of politicians, the voting on the day was relatively free and fair. The dictatorship never recognised the results of the election, and refused to hand over power. When released she faced restrictions on travel. He had petitioned the Burmese authorities to allow him to visit Aung San Suu Kyi one last time, but they Aung San Suu Kyi: A Biography rejected his request. He had not seen her since a Christmas visit in The government always urged Aung San Suu Kyi to join her family abroad, but she knew that she would not be allowed to return to Burma. Detained Again In Aung San Suu Kyi was again placed under house arrest after repeated attempts to leave the capital, Rangoon, to hold political meetings in other parts of the country. Released Again InAung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest and with freedom to travel around the country. He had facilitated secret meetings between Aung San Suu Kyi and the military. Confidence building steps had been agreed, including that the dictatorship would stop the vehement attacks on Aung San Suu Kyi in the media, and the NLD would stop publicly calling for sanctions, although its policy of still supporting targeted economic sanctions remained. However, when it came to move from confidence building meetings, and instead start dealing with matters of substance, the dictatorship refused to engage in any meaningful dialogue. As a low-level envoy without significant political backing from the UN itself or the international community, Razali was unable to persuade the Generals to move the Aung San Suu Kyi: A Biography forward. After waiting patiently, Aung San Suu Kyi began to travel the country, holding meetings at which tens of thousands of people turned out to see her, dashing the hopes of the Generals that during her long period of detention the people would have forgotten her, and her support would have waned. This political militia was set up and organised by the military, with Than Shwe, dictator of Burma, as its President. It later transformed as the Union Solidarity and Development Party, the political party front for the military in the elections held on 7th November It was an attempt by Aung San Suu Kyi: A Biography dictatorship to assassinate Aung San Suu Kyi, using a civilian front so as not to take the blame. The attack became known at the Depayin Massacre.

    Revised Pages Finding Voice Revised Pages THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP series editors Lonnie Bunch, Director, National Museum of African-American History and Culture Julie Ellison, Professor of American Culture, University of Michigan Robert Weisbuch, President, Drew University The New Public Scholarship encourages alliances between scholars and commu- nities by publishing writing that emerges from publicly engaged and intellectually consequential cultural work. The series is designed to attract serious readers who are invested in both creating and thinking about public culture and public life. Under the rubric of “public scholar,” we embrace campus-based artists, humanists, cultural crit- ics, and engaged artists working in the public, nonprofit, or private sector. The editors seek useful work growing out of engaged practices in cultural and educational arenas. We are also interested in books that offer new paradigms for doing and theorizing public scholarship itself. Indeed, validating public scholarship through an evolving set of concepts and arguments is central to The New Public Scholarship. The universe of potential contributors and readers is growing rapidly. We are teaching a generation of students for whom civic education and community service learning are quite normative. The civic turn in art and design has affected educational and cultural institutions of many kinds. In light of these developments, we feel that The New Public Scholarship offers a timely innovation in serious publishing. Civic Engagement in the Wake of Katrina, edited by Amy Koritz and George J.

    Burma Aung San Suu Kyi Briefing No. 6 November 2010 Updated 17 June 2011 Introduction Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s pro-democracy leader FACTBOX: No. 1 and Nobel Peace laureate, has come to symbolise • Leader of Burma’s democracy movement July 2010 the struggle of Burma’s people to be free. • Has spent total of 15 years and 20 days in She has spent more than 15 years in detention, detention since 1989 most of it under house arrest. The United Nations has issued legal judgements that Aung San Suu Kyi’s detention was illegal under international law • Her party, the National League for and Burmese law. Democracy, has been banned. On Saturday 13th November 2010, a week after • Daughter of Aung San, leader of Burma’s rigged elections for a powerless Parliament, she independence movement was released from her third period of house arrest. • Winner of Nobel Peace Prize The dictatorship correctly calculated that by releasing Aung San Suu Kyi they would receive so much positive publicity it would counter the negative attention on the election. No political change As experience has shown us after two previous times that Aung San Suu Kyi has been released, it is wrong to assume that her release is a portent of possible democratic change in Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi has herself said that her own release by itself does not mean significant change while thousands of political prisoners remain in jail, and the people of Burma are not free. Since her release the dictatorship has continued to detain around 2,000 political prisoners, and denies to the United Nations that it even has political prisoners.

She has received many international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, which she accepted in person in 2012. The plight of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority in Myanmar, has marred Suu Kyi’s reputation as a bastion of peace, leading to calls for her to lose her Peace Prize. Why is it that Suu Kyi’s image as the future of peace so different from reality? That question is what this research attempts to answer. Through a rhetorical analysis of Suu Kyi’s Nobel lecture and the media coverage that followed it, the impact of the use of tropes becomes evident.

    AGING Emily Toder AGING Emily Toder 1 2 Dedicated to the staff of the New Yorker. 3 4 CHAPTER 1 There’s a baby there who is nine days old and has never seen a doctor. Their first child, Eric, who was not yet three months old, sud- denly died. At the time, I was driving from Manhattan to visit my younger daughter and her new baby, Tobias, who was then about three months old. I examined Zebadiah and then his sister Lily, who was four months old, fat and happy and singing wordlessly as I listened to her heart and fiddled with her hips. My mother, who was six months old when she left Germany, said a few words. He had us meet his granddaughter, who is six months old. My grandmother—whom I would never meet, or even see a pho- tograph of—gave away at least one of her children at this time: the youngest, my mother, Carolina, who was nine months old. The other three children, his half siblings, were smaller than he was: two boys, two and five years old, and a girl who was eleven months old. • 5 Ramirez, who was publicly excoriated and even benched for this affront, lives in the Ritz, with his wife, Juliana, a Brazilian whom he met at a gym in 2001, and their two sons, Manny, Jr., who is four, and Lucas, who is one. The mother of Niederhoffer’s son, Aubrey, who is one and a half, is Laurel Kenner, a former editor at Bloomberg whom he met in 1999.
