| Summary: | This book, an edited volume, adds to the existing literature on community and locality in Southeast Asia. It emerged from a 2003 international symposium of the same name held in Osaka, Japan. The collection reinforces the utility of ethnographic research and documentation of micro-level experiences. Eclipsing what are often overdrawn studies of text, discourse, and symbolic movements, the book's ethnographic approach illuminates the actual practices, communal norms, and social creations of particularistic groups. Imagined Communities in Thailand: Ethnographic Approaches largely delivers on its promise by adding new insights into the sociology and political economy of identity and power in Thailand. |
