John Clifford Holt. Myanmar’s Buddhist-Muslim Crisis
John Holt's latest publication is a most welcome addition to the body of research on the Rakhine State crisis, which has lasted for decades in the shadow of other more exposed ethno-political issues in Myanmar.The unending cycle of violence was pushed to the forefront of global attention with the communal riots soon after the country opened in 2011, the Rohingya boat crisis in 2015, and most strongly with the mass flight of hundreds of thousands …

Competing Identities and the Hybridized History of the Rohingyas
Rohingya
The name Rohingya denotes an ethnoreligious identity of Muslims in North Rakhine State, Myanmar (formerly Burma). The term became part of public discourse in the late 1950s and spread widely following reports on human rights violations against Muslims in North Rakhine State during the 1990s, and again after 2012. Claims for regional Muslim autonomy emerged during World War II and led to the rise of a Rohingya ethnonationalist movement that drew o…
Alaungmintaya - King of Myanmar (1752-60). Representations in Burmese and Western historiography
En 1752, Aung Zeya, un chef de village du centre de la Birmanie mena une révolte contre la domination du roi de Pégou. Cinq ans plus tard, il devenait le seigneur d’un royaume unifié et prenait le titre d’Alaungmintaya (futur dhammarāja). Reconnu par ses sujets comme un grand roi puissant, Alaungmintaya prit rapidement place parmi les figures héroïques du pays dans l’historiographie birmane. L’article est consacré aux perceptions et à l’image du …
Domination and Dereliction
What these four quite different books broadly share is a focus on the role of the state in Myanmar society. Current scholarship describes the authoritarian state in Myanmar, which has been controlled by the army since 1962, as either dominantly present or neglectfully absent. Censorship and the repression of autonomous spaces in society, on the one hand, and the failure of the state to enforce efficient health and environmental policies, on the o…

Forging Buddhist Credentials as a Tool of Legitimacy and Ethnic Identity
The kingdom of Arakan was conquered by the Burmese in 1785 and annexed by the British after the first Anglo-Burmese War (1824-6). Resistance to the occupation was followed by campaigns of pacification that entailed social disruption. Starting with an analysis of the religious motives for King Bodawphaya's quest to conquer Arakan, this article focuses on the use of local religious traditions to bolster ethnic self-identification and resist the pro…
Specialists for Ritual, Magic, and Devotion
Though they formed an essential part of Burmese court life, the Brahmins have hitherto attracted no scholarly interest outside Burma. Based on a study of royal orders and administrative compendia as well as recent Burmese research, this article1 gives for the first time an overview of the origins, the ritual and ceremonial functions and the organization of the punna. The main section is preceded by an overview of sources and research questions. S…

The Maritime Frontier of Burma
Situated at the periphery of both South and Southeast Asia, the maritime frontier of Burma (Arakan, Lower Burma and Tenasserim) has long been neglected area of study. In spite of its location at the outskirts of powerful Asian polities such as Taungngu Burma, Ayutthaya and Mughal India, it served as an important cultural and commercial crossroads connecting all the regions surrounding the Bay of Bengal. For the first time in Burmese studies, this…
Taxation et groupes de service sous la royauté arakanaise
Since their first publication by Furnivall in 1916, Burmese revenue inquests (cac tarn : or sit-tan) have been duly recognized by historians as a precious source to study the royal administration and rural society. This contribution is presenting the translation of a yet unknown report from king Bodawphaya's 1802-1803 inquest, the report on Dhanawati, the largest and most densely populated of the four districts created by the Burmese occupants af…
