In the last few weeks Ashley South’s new book, Ethnic Politics in Burma: States of Conflict, has been published by Routledge. I’m sure that many New Mandala readers will be keen to digest its insights over the coming months. We are, as always, very happy to host any reviews, comments or feedback about South’s latest contribution to the literature on Burma and its recent tortured history.

Those not familiar with the East West Center may also be interested with a few of their publications;
Political Authority in Burma’s Ethnic Minority States: Devolution, Occupation and Coexistence by Mary P. Callahan
The Karen Revolution in Burma: Diverse Voices, Uncertain Ends by Ardeth Maung Thawnghmung
and
Assessing Burma’s Ceasefire Accords by Zaw Oo and Win Min
Just to name a few.
(On a side note, each East West Center publication cost $10 dollars no matter where you by it, personally I prefer to buy via Amazon than directly through them because they sell their books through a publisher in Singapore.)
I will certainly be interested to look into South’s book, as even though the above mentioned publications are academic, I found a few area’s of concern to be just a little lacking. but then again when it comes to Burma, not even the scholars are 100% thorough. That really Sucks.

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.
