If you don’t have a great deal of time today, but still want to read about Burma on this sad anniversary, I strongly suggest finding a moment to digest this reflection from Dominic Faulder. He was a journalist in Burma during that tumultuous period, filing stories for Asiaweek. If New Mandala readers find other great coverage in their wanderings, please feel free to anounce the links in the comments field.

Ethnic Politics in Burma
States of Conflict
By Ashley South Publication Date: 20th June 2008
This book examines the ideas which have structured half a century of civil war in Burma, and the roles which political elites and foreign networks – from colonial missionaries to aid worker activists – have played in mediating understandings of ethnic conflict in the country.

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.
