缅甸向自由资本主义秩序的过渡备受赞誉，但短暂，其标志是伊斯兰恐惧症，反穆斯林骚乱和数十万罗兴亚人被暴力驱逐到孟加拉国。在这场冲突中，关于种族包容、特权和民族主义的辩论很突出。然而，在这些辩论中，即使是看似对立的立场也包含了美国自由主义白色特权理论的阶级盲目性。在这篇文章中，我们从事这些辩论回顾种族特权的早期激进理论，后来的自由主义观念继续取代。认真对待资本主义阶级关系，我们认为，对于贫穷的缅甸人来说，民族特权是非常模糊的，最终是有害的。简言之，缅甸的至高无上地位已经成为缅甸无产阶级自身长期被征服的意识形态-物质脚手架。为了详细阐述我们的论点，我们讲述了缅甸缅人沙文主义的批判历史--这段历史揭示了“缅人性”不仅是民族/种族特权的标志，也是阶级特权的标志。
ABSTRACT Myanmar’s much lauded but short-lived transition to a liberal capitalist order was marked by an upsurge in Islamophobia, anti-Muslim riots and the violent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya into Bangladesh. Amid this conflagration, debates over ethnic inclusion, privilege and nationalism were prominent. Yet within these debates, even seemingly antagonistic positions incorporated the class-blindness characteristic of US liberal white privilege theory. In this article, we engage these debates by recalling an earlier radical theorisation of racial privilege that later liberal conceptions went on to displace. Taking capitalist class relations seriously, we argue that, for the poor Burman, ethnic privilege has been deeply ambiguous and ultimately harmful. Burman supremacy, in short, has served as ideological-material scaffolding for the enduring subjugation of the Burman proletariat itself. In order to elaborate our argument, we tell a critical history of Burman chauvinism in Myanmar – a history that reveals “Burman-ness” as a sign not simply of ethnic/racial privilege, but of class privilege as well.
