Items related to The Caged Ones (Asian Portraits)
Imprisoned for political reasons in the 1950's (and later), Ludu U Hla--perhaps Burma's most prolific modern author and collector of Burmese folklore and cultural material--penned these sensitive portraits of his teenage fellows-behind-bars. His symphatetic probe of 'criminals' old and new, willing and unwilling, uncovers the social pressures and failings that turn the weak, the young and unfortunate against society, and harden them in a career of crime. This book won a UNESCO prize in 1958
