This vivid account of ethnic politics and civil war situates the story of Mon nationalism within the 'big picture' of developments in Burma, Thailand and the region. Primarily an empirical study, it also addresses issues of identity and anticipates Burmese politics in the new millennium. A particular feature of the book is its first-hand descriptions of insurgency and displacement, drawn from the author's experiences as an aid worker in the war zone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'South's detailed and authoritative book is a must for all interested in Mon history and ethnic minority politics, and for those curious about the dynamics of the civil war and conflicy that has raged in Burma for more than 50 years.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eThe Irrawaddy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Thoroughly researched and full of insights born of personal involvement.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eAsian Affairs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'A very informative, comprehensive and yet concise survey of the social, political and military aspects of Mon nationalist movements in 20th century Burma.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eInternational Quarterly for Asian Studies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Fascinating account of a people who are almost unknown outside the region, and who are stuggling to preserve their identity in a rapidly changing world.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003e Journal of the Siam Society\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: The Mon in Burma and Thailand\u003cbr\u003ePart II.
