A Radio 4 listener writes to ask if I can provide details of the dictionary which has been compiled on Pitmatic. She heard me talking about this on the Today programme this morning, and didn't catch the title - which was hardly surprising, as the Today presenter, curiously, didn't bother to give it! It's by Bill Griffiths, and it's called Pitmatic: the Talk of the North East Coalfield, and it's published by Northumbria University Press at £9.99.

Resources, Power and Identities of a Hunter-gatherer Society. Revisiting the Mlabri Ethnic Group in Northern Thailand. Sakkarin Na Nan. This article describes the struggles of the hunter-gatherer Mlabri ethnic group in the context of spatial and symbolic enclosure. Based on a political ecology conceptual framework, the author argues that the present-day Mlabri struggle in the degraded environment of northern Thailand cannot be understood, particularly, through the linear model of human evolutionism from hunters to farmers. The article looks at the existence of the hunter-gatherer Mlabri as the result of an asymmetrical power relation in the micro-politics of a local valley of Nan province. It shows that the current transitions experienced by the hunter-gatherer Mlabri society are a microcosm of the structural contradictions of the resource management in the contemporary Thai nation-state. However, the core point of this paper is that the marginalized hunter-gatherers are not remaining under domination without any resistance. Moreover, they use several social strategies to reshape their livelihood conditions and— at the same time— to manage the complex social identities of hunter-gatherers in a globalised world.

The Journal of the Siam Society just published an article about suicide among the Mlabri of Northern Thailand by Gene and Mary Long, who are missionary linguists who have worked with the Mlabri for over thirty years, and myself. The Mlabri (or Mla Bri) have a attracted a great deal of attention from anthropology over the last 50 years because they subsisted as hunter-gatherers on the fringes of highland societies until recently. The result is that, like the Ju/’Hoansi of Namibia, each of the Mla Bri seems to have a personal scientist, journalist, or NGO. In recent years, geneticists, anthropologists, linguists, NGOs, movie makers, journalists and a range of others have all been attracted by this charismatic group of 300-400 people. Having said that, for general interests, I recommend the film The Importance of Being Mlabri in particular. Much of the linguistic and anthropological work about the Mla Bri is also quite good.
