Acts of Courage as Acts of Citizenship“The history of the world can be best observed from the frontier.” Following this insight from Pierre Vilar --a historian of Modern Catalonia and Spain – I have been working for the past few years on the Indo-Burmese borderland region. I will talk of a few stories of political courage from this region. I think of them as acts of citizenship. Unlike ordinary practices of citizenship such as voting or paying taxes, they expand the horizons of citizenship over time.
