The book examines the educational experiences of the Karen people across Burma, Thailand, and the UK, highlighting the impact of migration and socio-political changes on learning. It integrates historical and ethnographic research to reveal how intergenerational relationships and learning practices evolve within Karen communities, influenced by traditional socio-cultural methods and the introduction of formal schooling by missionaries. The work also critiques the educational disparities faced by rural Karen students in Thailand and explores the role of humanitarian agencies and UK schools in supporting Karen refugees.
