This book examines the relationship of imperialism and ethnonationalism. Through a case study of colonial Burma, it finds that British imperialists amplified ethnonationalism to protect their interests after decolonisation. This preference helped Burmese ethnonationalists to seize power in the post-colony, to the detriment of the country's people.
