This book contains nine contributions at the intersection of
scholarship, activism, and sociocultural politics in mainland
Southeast Asia, inspired by the remarkable career of Achan Chayan
Vaddhanaphuti, an academic who has worked tirelessly in Thailand
and beyond to foster critical social-science scholarship that
engages with marginalized communities. The research in this volume
is both highly personal and academically rigorous, born out of the
authors' experiences studying and working with communities and
individuals who are too easily pushed to the margins of mainstream
politics and culture, including Khmu migrant laborers, Wa
communities in Shan State, meditating Thai hermits, and the
fighters and bystanders in the complex violence in southern
Thailand, among others. This willingness to support such
underprivileged groups through meticulous scholarship is a hallmark
of the engaged scholarly activism Achan Chayan has spent a lifetime
encouraging.
