Chen Guoqing and Xie Ling.- Wa zu (The Wa nationality) Waterpub, 2004
This book is interesting in the way that, far for the false academicism common to many publications related to the minorities in China, is trying to introduce the Wa to a general reader. I think they succeeded in give a comprehensive picture of the past and present day of the Wa and their culture.
