The first edition of this book was hailed as original and
challenging in its analyses of Thai national identity. The topic is
today no less worthy of discussion and comment. The essays boldly
offer insights into the formation of Thai identity from the
perspectives of history, political science, anthropology,
linguistics, social psychology, human geography, and media and
religious studies. Written in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian
financial crisis, a new chapter reflects on the way older concepts
of Thai identity were transformed by the economic boom as well as
by the financial crisis that followed. Topics include the debates
among public intellectuals about the perils and opportunities of
globalization, the dynamic relationship between local and global
knowledge, and perceived challenges to Thailand's sovereignty, all
of which have deep roots in the country's modern history.
