The portion of the Malay Peninsula where the Thai Buddhist
civilization of Thailand gives way to the Malay Muslim civilization
of Malaysia is characterized by multiple forms of pluralism. An
appreciation of the long history and varied forms of that pluralism
opens up fresh and important perspectives on the violent crisis
currently affecting southern Thailand.""Thai South and Malay
North"" brings together research by academic specialists working on
this border zone who examine a broad range of issues relating to
the turmoil afflicting the region. Drawing on a broad historical
perspective, the authors explore religious observances and national
identity, the relationship between electoral democracy and
separatist violence, and interactions between northern Malaysia and
southern Thailand.Intellectually rigorous and theoretically
sophisticated, ""Thai South and Malay North"" is the most
comprehensive work to date on a part of Southeast Asia whose
historical, linguistic, and political complexity has long defied
scholarly synthesis - essential reading for anyone seeking to
understand southern Thailand's complex past and troubled present.
