TO Burmanet readers:
The Burma Studies Group of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) has been
asked to
contribute to a Southeast Asia Council panel for next year's Asian
Association meetings. The panel will be on Southeast
Asian communities in North America and the effect of 'Home Politics' upon
the lives of thee 'Asian-American' communities. As Chair of the Burma
Group, I have agreed to put together a list of who are where in
the US (from Burma) and how to contact them: families, organisations,
Monasteries-Temples and so on -- Burman, Mon, Shan, Chin, Kachin, Rakhine,
Karen and so on. This has nothing to do with politics at all; it is part of
a growing academic
interest in the study of Asian diasporas and their social and cultural life
and their ways of constructing their cultural identities. If you can help,
please contact me as soon as possible before the deadline for panel
organisers.
