Book launch for Edith Mirante's latest book, "Where the Mithuns Are: Essays on War, Art and Beasts."

Her essays reveal remote Chinland, pandemic Yellowstone, Manzanar, Cahokia, Heizer’s City.
Interwoven are themes of Indigenous resistance, land rights, wildness, art in times of conflict, the guns and tanks of Burma. Bison, elk (including a certain inanimate one in Portland), muskox and mithuns roam.
There could be heroes: World War II artists Anthony Gross and Clive Branson, labor firebrand Karl Yoneda. There will be revolution, and enchantment.

Edith Mirante is the founder of ProjectMaje.org which distributes information on Burma (Myanmar) human rights and environmental issues.
She is an artist and author of two Burma books, Burmese Looking Glass and Down the Rat Hole, as well as The Wind in the Bamboo about Black Indigenous Asians.
