This book traces the evolution of the rural, Lao-speaking people of
northeastern Thailand, now over a third of the nation's population,
from a traditional peasantry into "cosmopolitan" villagers who are
actively shaping Thai politics. The electoral successes of the Thai
Rak Thai/Pheu Thai Party in the early twenty-first century and the
strong support given to the Red-Shirt movement appear to have
finally given the cosmopolitan villagers of northeastern Thailand a
continuing voice in the nation's political process.
Charles Keyes is professor emeritus of anthropology and
international studies at the University of Washington.
