«The Trouser People» is the historical and travel essay by Andrew Marshall, published by Counterpoint in hardback (320 pages, in English).
Andrew Marshall follows in the footsteps of Sir George Scott, a Victorian adventurer who helped establish British colonial rule in Burma and introduced football to the country, and contrasts that journey with present-day Burma, dominated by a military dictatorship. History, travel writing and humour combine to explore Burmese identity.
First edition, published on 1 March 2002. Includes maps, bibliography (pages 293-295) and index.
Of interest to readers of colonial and Southeast Asian history, as well as travellers who want to know Burma before visiting it.
