BOOK REVIEW : CLASS, CULTURE AND SPACE: THE CONSTRUCTION AND SHAPING OF COMMUNAL SPACE IN SOUTH THAILAND
Main Article Content
Abstract
Compared with other regions of Thailand, South Thailand has been a somewhat neglected center of research for many decades. Thomas Fraser's classic ethnographic study of the fishing village known as Rusembilan and Louis Golomb's work on ethnicity in the region, supplemented by some political science investigations by Ladd Thomas, Astri Suhrke and others, were conducted in the 1960s and 70s. In the 1980s Muslim scholars in Thailand including Surin Pitsuwan, Arong Suthasasna, Hasan Madmarn, and Chaiwat Satha-Anand contributed major studies that placed the Malay Muslims of South Thailand in their political, religious and cultural contexts. Thai anthropologist Chavivun Prachuabmoh developed models for understanding gender and ethnicity among Malay Muslims, while Uthai Dulyasakem focused on educational institutions in the region. Studies lagged on South Thailand, however, in comparison with those on Central, North, and Northeast Thailand.
