New BSG mini initiative: Deep Cuts in Burma Studies

You’ve seen new pubs in BSG. But why this fetish of the new, eh? So we are also starting a new initiative at BSG tentatively called “Deep Cuts in BSG” – in which we circulate a (perhaps?) forgotten text or article.

This week we give you: Tinzar Lwyn, “Stories of Gender and Ethnicity: Discourses of colonialism and resistance in Burma.” The Australian Journal of Anthropology 5.3 (1994):60-85, whose later pages (pp 73-83) feature testimonials from women in revolution circa 1988, which are haunting for their resonance with today’s struggle.

All the texts will live on this dedicated page here.
