| AUNG-THWIN, MICHAEL A. Myth and History in the Historiography of Early Burma : Paradigms, Primary Sources, and Prejudices Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 1998. Paperback. 14 x 22 cm.; pg. xi, 220; List of maps, introduction, notes, bibliography, index. "After a careful re-reading of primary sources written in Old Burmese, [the author] set about tracing the history of five key events that took place during the Kingdom of Pagan in order to disentangle that history from myth. He found that four of the five events, which have been considered the most important in the history of early Burma, are actually inventions of late-nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial historians caught in their own intellectual and political world. A fifth is a genuine indigenous Burmese myth, but it too has been embellished by modern historians. Aung-Thwin concludes that these five key events, which have been taught as Burmese history for the past hundred years, actually have no basis in history. " ISBN: 0896802019; 0896802019.
