Prisms on the Golden Pagoda: Perspectives on the Politics of National Reconciliation in Myanmar.
NUS Press. Stock ID #138412 Prisms on the Golden Pagoda is a collection of papers on national reconciliation process written by activists and scholars who have been deeply involved with this issue for many years. The workshop was purely an academic meeting, but the interest shown in it by activists aroused the suspicions of the Myanmar government, and a number of invited participants could not obtain permission to attend, or decided to withdraw. Nevertheless, the papers provide considerable insight into how the national reconciliation effort was viewed in Myanmar, and how senior military officers dealt with issues relating to it. Many of the participants were veteran politicans and ethnic leaders, some of whom have since passed away, and their contributions provide an inside look at some of the crucial issues facing Myanmar as the country enters an apparent phase of liberalization.
