BUSTLING BORDERS: REPORTAGE FROM OUR MEKONG, 140 pp.

From the craggy, grey scenery of Tibet to the warm green and brown colours of the Mekong Delta, this book gives readers snapshots of some of the key issues of the day in the Mekong Region -- drugs, migration, border trade, wildlife trade, ethnic identity, infrastructure development. The book is the third compilation of in-depth articles and photo essays on transboundary issues done by journalists from the six Mekong countries -- the journalists who know their region best, and have a stake in its development. The writers and photojournalists who contributed to this book, from Cambodia, China, Burma, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, are the third group of fellows who have completed the Imaging Our Mekong programme, coordinated by Inter Press Service (IPS) Asia-Pacific and Probe Media Foundation Inc (PMFI). The book is available at Suriwong Bookstore in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Monument Books in Cambodia, and at the IPS Asia-Pacific and PMFI offices. For inquiries, write ipsasia@newsmekong.org
