[pour le français, voir ci-après...]
A recent publication contains anthropological studies done on a Laotian community following its arrival in France at the beginning of the 1980s in and around Paris, France. The articles are in French, but that shouldn’t deter the Laos expert… For the time being, the book can be downloaded free of charge at: http://www.conflictrecovery.org/. Scroll down and after “New Publications” click on the link “LIPI Conflict Program Publications” and on that page on the book “Ethnicity/Ethnicité.”
Pleasant reading,
Glenn
Une recente publication contient des études anthropologiques faits sur une communauté laotienne à son arrivé en France au début des années 80, dans la région parisienne. Le livre peut être téléchargé en entier et gratuitement pour l’instant sur le site: http://www.conflictrecovery.org/. Après ‘New Publications’ cliquez sur ‘LIPI Conflict Program Publications’ et ensuite sur le livre ‘Ethnicity/Ethnicité’.
Bonne lecture,
Glenn

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
