Preface

Books and magazines changed my life. I got English communication skills from my bachelor’s degree studies, creative thinking from involvement in magazine production, and logical thinking from my experience with book layout. I can bring all of experience to develop the publishing industry around Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, where there is a shortage of good publishers and literary systems. By helping the region progress in the world of publishing, I hope to share the power of reading, through both print and digital media.

For me, publishing is a combination between art and science. Books and magazines are not just products but are about taste, inspiration, life or are instruments that can be used to change the world. I believe in the power of text and images. And a publisher can build knowledge and inspiration via creative construction of these elements in books or magazines.

CoverDesign

i have never been learning or being in any design classroom before. I am a knowledge seeker, my teacher is Google and Youtube, as well

creative design library is my classroom. Everything around us is copying, aero plane copy from bird, submarine copy from nautilus.

Before success on copying we have to be observant, creativity and work hard. When I have to design new cover, I will look for

inspiration at library, market, Pinterest, traveling to somewhere, or even small advertising on newspaper. Using logical thinking and

artistic to process master artwork.

I always use Adobe Photoshop for crop photo, rescale, adjust brightness and contrast. Illustrator for editing vector file. I transfer all of elements to Adobe InDesign, design step by step with some idea and suggestion from team work. Set margins and bleeding, choosed appropriate typhography for regular book size of 14x21 cm., arranged art composition, calculate spine size, layed blurb

informations, then export to press quality PDF file, finally ready for CMYK printing.

Combined with San-serif title on white transparency, give more interesting even if academic book.

Diversifying Retail And Distribution In ThailandEndo G

The entry of transnational retailers into emerging markets inevitably disrupts the existing retail and distribution structures. Thailand experienced such changes to its traditional retailing system beginning in 1990 and continuing through the following two decades, to the extent that many have called it a “revolution.”

But the term “revolution” is a misnomer, according to this study. The new retail and distribution formats, rather than replacing traditional markets, have continued to exist alongside them. In addition, Thailand’s retail and distribution industries are heading toward diversification rather than uniformity, the latter phenomenon being generally associated with the advance of multinational corporations.

Endo analyzes Thailand’s retail structure in the light of its entire distribution system, examining how changes have affected not only horizontal, competitive relationships between modern and traditional retailers, but also vertical relationships with manufacturers and wholesalers. Rather than focusing narrowly on the urban middle-class consumer market, he considers the markets’ income differentials—the “mosaic structure”—which is an indispensable framework for discussing the retail and consumption practices of an emerging economy. The book presents a thoroughgoing and positive analysis well grounded in Thailand’s historical context.

Studies on the advance of transnational retailers into emerging markets have recently flourished, most of which aim to clarify the internationalization of retail from a commercial science perspective by concentrating on the transnational retailers’ activities. In this book, greater attention is given to the particular circumstances of the host countries’ retail and distribution systems and consumer markets. Using a comparative-business-history approach to a single country, this research contributes significantly to our understanding of retail and distribution systems in emerging markets globally.

Dr. ENDO Gen, Associate Professor in the Faculty of International Relations at Daito Bunka University, holds a PhD from the University of Tokyo. He was an international student at Chiang Mai University during the mid-1990s and a visiting scholar at Chulalongkorn University in the mid-2000s. His field of interest is the Southeast Asian economy, particularly Thailand’s, and focuses on retail consumption and distribution.

Just Enough A Journey into Thailand’s Troubled SouthMira Lee Manickam

Just Enough travels inside the conflict zone of Thailand’s southernmost provinces and gets under the surface of traditional Malay Muslim culture. Mira Lee Manickam, an adventurous American researcher, takes us with her as she settles into a small fishing village in troubled Pattani Province. Stepping uncertainly into this deeply traditional world, she gains privileged access to a side of Malay Muslim society rarely seen by outsiders and obscured by the violence featured in Thai newspapers. In a style that is humorous, honest, and moving, Manickam charts the southern Thai conflict through her travels in the region and tells the stories of her friends in the village: a gang of wild-haired teenage boys who observe conservative religious protocol by day and listen to heavy metal in back-street teashops by night; a group of young women too educated to find husbands in the village but too traditional to leave; an impoverished fisherman with a Zen-like stance on impermanence; and a dropout who immerses himself in Western culture as a star rock-climber in a nearby beach resort. These stories illustrate the tension between the values of a traditional Malay Muslim community and the demands of an increasingly modern Thai society. Just Enough is a personal journey of growth, loss, and friendship, and reveals the colors of daily life that lie beneath the black and white of newspaper headlines. Mira Lee Manickam has been a regular visitor to Thailand for over ten years, traveling there as a conservation officer for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a master’s student at the Yale School of Forestry, and a documentary filmmaker. The author offers an informed and engaged perspective on the impact of the hundred-year-old conflict in southern Thailand. It focuses on the lives of the common people in the areas of education, economy, and religious development, and their effect on the present and the future of the country. In a warm, affectionate style it highlights the cultural diversities in Thailand as a whole and also in its widespread Muslim community.

The Story of AngkorJame DiBiasio

The lost civilization of Angkor left no written records, so only its ancient stones can tell the tale. The Story of Angkor exposes the history of this once-mighty Southeast Asian empire through the secrets hidden inside the temples and buildings located around the city of Siem Reap. It guides the reader into Angkor’s most spectacular monuments and the kings who commissioned them. The Classical Angkor period, from its founding in 802AD by Jayavarman II, to its mysterious twelfth-century demise, produced hundreds of temples, reservoirs, and other monuments. But why were they built? What did they represent? And is the evidence clear? The Story of Angkor answers these questions. Through an exploration of ancient culture, religion, trade, warfare, ecology, and politics, it gives meaning to the mysterious faces of the Bayon and decodes the beautiful but violent bas-reliefs of Angkor Wat. It also presents Cambodia’s early history and Angkor Wat’s “discovery” by nineteenth-century explorers. Written in a concise, accessible style, with photos and maps, The Story of Angkor presents an in-depth analysis of the ancient Angkor civilization. It is an essential volume that will appeal to both readers and travelers.

Thai national artist Thawan Duchanee has spent his life creating art that deeply reflects Buddhist philosophy. He is internationally renowned, and his art is masterful both for its intricacy and for its subtle portrayal of Buddhism. Thawan expresses Buddhist wisdom with incredible versatility. His artworks depict the dangers of doubt, lust, fear, and lack of concentration, expose humankind’s pursuit of pleasure and escape from pain, and illustrate virtues exemplified in the previous lives of the Buddha. Using over one hundred images, the book succinctly examines these themes, often hidden deep within the art itself, and guides the reader through some of Thawan’s most interesting works. This is the first book to combine a focus on these works with an exploration of Thawan’s outstanding architectural and decorative achievements in Chiang Rai and Germany. Often told in his own words, this book offers insights into Thawan’s creative genius, explores his philosophy on the arts, examines his famous signature, and recounts his life story. It is fascinating reading for all those interested in Thai art and Buddhism.

Larger-than-life Thai artist Thawan Duchanee is one of the foremost representatives of Thai and Asian art. His penchant for traditional Asian motifs and styles and his flamboyant personality have earned him popularity and renown as one of the leading lights of the international art scene.—The Nation

Heritage, Language, and Community in Thailand Edited by Coeli Barry

This collection brings together original, small-scale, ethnographic research on minorities and communities contesting heritage, livelihood, language, and citizenship in Thailand. The case studies included here look at the rights of communities to manage their own cultural and natural resources across a range of settings including ethnic Khmer communities in the Northeast, migrant groups in metropolitan Bangkok, and hill tribe communities in the North of Thailand. The studies individually and collectively draw attention to conditions that are conducive to rights claiming, and they explore how and in what situations community leaders choose to negotiate with the state using other discourses. Readers interested in the limits and possibilities of invoking rights in the pursuit of diversity and pluralism will find in this book critically-minded, conceptually nuanced, and empirically grounded explorations of the interrelationship between culture and rights. The book’s theoretical and analytic insights contribute to the anthropology of rights as well as heritage studies by raising questions about the possibilities and limitations of rights-informed approaches to policy. Rights to Culture will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners of cultural heritage in Thailand and Southeast Asia, as well as globally.

coeli barry, phd, teaches at the Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University, and is adviser to the Cultural Rights Forum of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre in Bangkok.

“Rights to Culture explores one of the most important and conceptually difficult topics in current heritage studies. . . . The authors masterfully interweave history, environment, and cultural policy in deeply nuanced ethnographic analyses of communities that range in scale from rural villages to the pulsating urban capital of Bangkok. Rights to Culture is an outstanding contribution to debates about culture and rights globally.”—Helaine Silverman, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

“This book illustrates how the complex processes of transculturation are experienced by heterogeneous groups of people who are always excluded as “other” in so-called homogeneous Thai society. . . . Most important of all is the central argument that culture and rights have provided a negotiating space for these invisible people in their politics of identity to allow them to fully participate in development.”—Anan Ganjanapan, Chiang Mai University

i always Design book Cover with photo, but this time it’s different and became one of my difficult job. The first question that pop up on my head is What is Pali Literature? The author need modern cover but at the same time have to reflect classical of Pali. With the period of 1988-2012, Helvetica is the most powerful typeface to present. I arranged different right indent between title and sub-title, make it more creativity. Using contrast red and blue color to catch reader eyes, as well grey gradient give some feeling of theory.

This selection of essays, originally published between 1988 and 2010, demonstrates that in the study of Buddhism a concern with detailed accuracy in philological and textual specifics can be combined with a discussion of wider (and difficult) philosophical and sociological issues. The first part of the book, Pali Literature, deals with the historical formation of the Pali Canon and continuing oral aspects of Pali texts. Looking at the entire range of Pali texts, it proposes the question, “What is Literature in Pali?” The second part, The Theory and Practice of Not-Self, looks at the Buddhist denial of self as both a philosophical position and as a form of practice, one in which a process of self-transformative behavioral and psychological training is seen to culminate in the realization that there is no self underlying the ever-changing moments of experience. The third part, Buddhism and Society, has two essays reflecting on and extending Louis Dumont’s comparative theorizing about the individual and society in East and West, and a final contemporary treatment of Buddhist “nuns” (mae chi) in Theravāda Buddhism, both in a general sense and more specifically in higher education in Bangkok. The three essays attempt to build on, but go beyond, the work of Dumont and before him Max Weber in thinking about what they would call “world-renunciation” as a phenomenon of society and culture.

This selection of essays, originally published between 1988 and 2010, demonstrates that in the study of Buddhism a concern with detailed accuracy in philological and textual specifics can be combined with a discussion of wider (and difficult) philosophical and sociological issues. The first part of the book, Pali Literature, deals with the historical formation of the Pali Canon and continuing oral aspects of Pali texts. Looking at the entire range of Pali texts, it proposes the question, “What is Literature in Pali?” The second part, The Theory and Practice of Not-Self, looks at the Buddhist denial of self as both a philosophical position and as a form of practice, one in which a process of self-transformative behavioral and psychological training is seen to culminate in the realization that there is no self underlying the ever-changing moments of experience. The third part, Buddhism and Society, has two essays reflecting on and extending Louis Dumont’s comparative theorizing about the individual and society in East and West, and a final contemporary treatment of Buddhist “nuns” (mae chi) in Theravāda Buddhism, both in a general sense and more specifically in higher education in Bangkok. The three essays attempt to build on, but go beyond, the work of Dumont and before him Max Weber in thinking about what they would call “world-renunciation” as a phenomenon of society and culture.

steven collins is Chester D. Tripp Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago and a council member of the Pali Text Society.

The “Bare Life” of Thai Migrant Workmen in SingaporePa t t a n a K i t i a r s aThe transnational world is a theater of dreams and sensibilities.

— Pattana Kitiarsa

Transnational labor migration often begins with the dream of securing a more stable and prosperous future, a chance to survive. The lure of “global cities” as a place to attain that dream looms large within the context of rural-urban migration flows. This book reveals some of the complex phenomena and processes that strip bare the lives and dreams of migrant workers living abroad, whose life experiences are overwhelmingly dominated by stress and suffering and diminished gendered roles.

The book illuminates the intimate aspects of how Thai male migrants have transcended their harsh reality while living under Singapore’s strict regulations governing foreign workers. Stripped bare of the powerful sociocultural, economic, and legal processes that govern their existence at home, these men must recraft their gendered selfhoods, identities, and sensibilities.

Using personal and interpretive ethnography, the book explores how popular music, sports, religious beliefs, cultural traditions, sexual desire, and intimacy are refashioned by appropriating cultural and symbolic capital into new cultural experiences. It also provides an extensive look at the sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (sunds) among young healthy Thai construction workers in Singapore. The author’s in-depth analyses of migrant social life and male migrant gendered identity-negotiating processes provide an invaluable contribution to our understanding of labor transnationalism in the Southeast Asian context.

pattana kitiarsa was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore. His research focused on a broad array of topics, including muai Thai kickboxing, Buddhism, Thai popular culture and cinema, traditional festivals, and transnational labor migration.

Ethnicity, Borders, and the Grassroots Interface with the StateStudies on Southeast Asia in Honor of Charles F. Keyes

Edited by John A. Marston

Ethnicity, Borders, and the Grassroots Interface with the State brings together exciting new work by anthropologists working on mainland Southeast Asia. The volume honors anthropologist Charles F. Keyes and the chapters here address concepts central to Keyes’ own work—ethnicity, religion, and modernity—as they can be applied to the countries of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The volume also reflects recent scholarly interest in “cross-border” issues, as reflected both in the complexity of identity, where ethnic groups extend across boundaries, and in increasing cross-border mobility. The volume is divided into three sections. The first, “The State and Public Ceremony,” includes chapters on a ceremony of national heritage as celebrated in Vietnam and the United States, Shan novice initiation near the border of Myanmar in Thailand, and the restoration of the monkhood in Cambodia. The second section, “The Grassroots Negotiation of Modernity,” contains chapters about the concept of “sufficiency” in Thai farm production, the ways modernity is conceived among the Lahu in Thailand, and the complexities of the Thai system of identity cards. The final section, “Crossing Borders of State and Nation” focuses on the stateless Lao population in northeastern Thailand, Vietnamese migrants to Laos, and Western (farang) men married to northeastern Thai women. Contributors to the book include scholars based in Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, Australia, and Mexico. The book is an invaluable reference for scholars of Southeast Asia, and will also appeal to the general reader.

This volume brings together exciting new research by anthropologists working on mainland Southeast Asia, in honor of anthropologist Charles F. Keyes. It addresses concepts central to Keyes’s own work—ethnicity, religion, and modernity—as they can be applied to the countries of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Each chapter is a case study in the relationship of power between institutions of state and society. The collection is divided into four sections. “The State and Public Ceremony” includes chapters on a ceremony of national heritage as celebrated in Vietnam and the United States, Shan novice initiation in Thailand, and the restoration of the Cambodian monkhood. “The Grassroots Negotiation of Modernity” contains chapters about the concept of “sufficiency” in Thai farm production, the ways modernity is conceived among the Lahu in Thailand, and the complexities of the Thai system of identity cards. “Crossing Borders of State and Nation” focuses on the stateless Lao population in northeastern Thailand, Vietnamese migrants to Laos, and Western (farang) men married to northeastern Thai women. The final section contains a biography of Charles Keyes, an interview with him, and a selected bibliography of his work.

JOHN A. MARSTON is a professor and researcher at the Center for Asian and African Studies of El Colegio de México in Mexico City.

“The power of this book lies in demonstrating the shift in knowledge between two generations of anthropologists, from Charles Keyes to his mentees. The rich ethnographic case studies—bookended by discussions of Keyes’s work—challenge the integrity and boundedness of the nation-state, which were at the center of twentieth-century thought and politics. I highly recommend the book for scholars and students interested in globalization, rural peoples, ethnicity, Southeast Asia, and migration.”—Marjorie Muecke, University of Pennsylvania

“This absorbing, deftly edited, and theoretically adventurous collection of essays honors the contributions of anthropologist Charles Keyes, whose work has left an indelible mark on the field of Southeast Asian studies.”—David Chandler, Monash University

Through conversations with the women themselves, this book lays bare the experiences of Chinese women selling sex in Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Los Angeles, and New York. Their words, together with the author’s insights, offer a rich, comprehensive understanding of the realities and myths of prostitution and global sex trafficking. The women’s captivating stories of poignant dreams, harsh realities, and the money-driven sex industry are interspersed with fascinating details on how the author, a professor of criminal justice from the United States, located and conducted interviews in the women’s own natural settings.

This book grew out of a paradigm-changing empirical research project that challenges many assumptions about sex trafficking taken for granted by authorities, academics, and the general public. After completing the study, the author wanted to share these women’s engaging, compelling stories with readers everywhere to help them understand why these women go overseas to work in the sex industry, how they get there, how much money they make, what hardships they face, and what they hope for in the future.

Chinese Sex Workers Abroad

the final draft


Ko-lin ChinIn Chongqing, Ling Ling had been a waitress earning twenty-five dollars a month; a few years later in Hong Kong she was making six times that each day. Kelly taught preschool in Beijing for ten years before opening a brothel in LA. These are just two of the eighteen Chinese women interviewed in this book about how they came to sell sex in Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Los Angeles, and New York. The women’s candid stories put a human face on globalized commercial sex and offer a raw, inside view of the money-driven transnational sex industry. The author, an expert in the field of criminal justice, frames these personal accounts with contextual details and incisive commentary to provide a rich understanding of the realities and myths of prostitution and global sex trafficking.

Every year, the United States alone spends hundreds of millions on programs to combat human trafficking and rescue trafficked victims. But what do sex workers themselves have to say about these issues? With the publication of these unvarnished accounts, we are able to hear firsthand how and why these women left China to work in the sex trade abroad, how much they make, what hardships they face, and what hopes they have for the future.

KO-LIN CHIN is Distinguished Professor at the School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University–Newark. He has written extensively on transnational crime and subcultures.

“Ko-lin’s in-depth fieldwork has set a new standard for nuanced sociological inquiry into thorny social issues. The women he interviews deserve not judgment but understanding of the complex circumstances and challenges they face. Through sheer tenacity and painstaking documentation, Ko-lin allows us to see for ourselves the human stories behind each veiled entrance and every dimly lit doorway.”—Sheldon Zhang, San Diego State University

“Ambitious in global scope while staying focused on individual stories, this book vividly and poignantly reveals the impact of anti-trafficking laws and campaigns on the everyday experiences of Chinese sex workers overseas, and illuminates the ways these policies imperil the very people they purport to assist.”—Tiantian Zheng, Professor, Anthropology

THE FACE OF RESISTANCEAung San Suu Kyi and Burma’s Fight for Freedom

A U N G Z A W

Aung San Suu Kyi is a world-renowned, inspirational symbol of Burmese resistance and courage. Released in 2010 after spending fifteen of the previous twenty-one years under house arrest, she emerged into a Burma that has finally begun to court democracy, and many are now looking to her to lead the country. But is it possible for Suu Kyi to mend the deep divisions in Burmese society? Who are the groups that make up Burma’s face of resistance? What is it they are fighting for? And how can she unite these disparate factions into one cohesive group to take on the current regime in the elections scheduled for 2015?

By former political activist and exile Aung Zaw, The Face of Resistance explores these questions and sheds light on those people who have fought alongside Suu Kyi for decades in Burma’s resistance movement. It profiles key members of the National League for Democracy, examines the background of prominent activists involved in the 1988 student uprising, and focuses on the next generation of democracy leaders. From an insider’s perspective, Aung Zaw demystifies the volatile state of contemporary Burmese politics and the background of Burma’s current president, Thein Sein, and poses questions about the ongoing debate of international sanctions versus investment in the light of Burma’s untapped natural resources.

The Face of Resistance is a timely and succinct reminder that despite interna-tional accolades, Burma is far from free.

Aung Zaw was a student activist in the 1988 uprising and fled Burma after the military coup. From Thailand, he launched The Irrawaddy news publication in 1993, which has provided continuous coverage of events in Burma and Southeast Asia for twenty years. His articles have appeared in Time Magazine, Asian Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Bangkok Post, and The Nation newspapers. He is a laureate of the 2010 Prince Claus Fund in the Netherlands, awarded for his commitment to upholding freedom of information.

Tribute and ProfitSino-Siamese Trade 1652–1853

SARASIN VIRAPHOLLong before East Asia was fixed in the trade routes of Western economic powers, the region supported a complex economic system intertwined with and regulated by elaborate political and social structures. For Siam, the most significant of these was the Chinese tributary system.

Tribute and Profit illuminates the conduct and maintenance of maritime trade under the auspices of Siam’s tributary relationship with imperial China. This bilateral partnership also relied on a number of intermediaries: vassal states, other sovereign nations, and notably, Chinese entrepreneurs and officials. It is through this lens that Sarasin Viraphol scrutinizes the momentous role of the Chinese both in Siam’s overseas trade and its domestic economy.

Based substantially on historical Chinese, Siamese, and European sources, Sarasin Viraphol’s careful reconstruction of the tributary trade pinpoints the creative subversions, calculated risks, and clever contrivances that kept the wheels of the Siamese economy turning for centuries. Eventually, the era of tribute missions and the junk trade was irreversibly transformed by the ascendancy of European-style maritime commerce, free trade, and open markets. Nevertheless, the modern Thai economy has been fundamentally shaped by the interactions described in Tribute and Profit, and the influences of these bygone relations are still present in Thailand today.

Tribute and ProfitSino-Siamese Trade 1652–1853

SARASIN VIRAPHOLLong before East Asia was fixed in the trade routes of Western economic powers, the region supported a complex economic system intertwined with and regulated by elaborate political and social structures. For Siam, the most significant of these was the Chinese tributary system.

Tribute and Profit illuminates the conduct and maintenance of maritime trade under the auspices of Siam’s tributary relationship with imperial China. This bilateral partnership also relied on a number of intermediaries: vassal states, other sovereign nations, and notably, Chinese entrepreneurs and officials. It is through this lens that Sarasin Viraphol scrutinizes the momentous role of the Chinese both in Siam’s overseas trade and its domestic economy.

Based substantially on historical Chinese, Siamese, and European sources, Sarasin Viraphol’s careful reconstruction of the tributary trade pinpoints the creative subversions, calculated risks, and clever contrivances that kept the wheels of the Siamese economy turning for centuries. Eventually, the era of tribute missions and the junk trade was irreversibly transformed by the ascendancy of European-style maritime commerce, free trade, and open markets. Nevertheless, the modern Thai economy has been fundamentally shaped by the interactions described in Tribute and Profit, and the influences of these bygone relations are still present in Thailand today.

ICH IRO KAK IZAK ITrams, Buses, and Rails recounts the unique and little-known 130-year history of Bangkok’s transportation system, from the first horse-powered tramway in 1888 to the mass transit urban railway of the twenty-first century. It documents the emergence of trams, buses, subways, elevated trains, and paratransit vehicles along the way. While the growth of transportation types corresponds roughly to the development of urban transport in other Southeast Asian capitals, in Bangkok the planning, construction, implementation, and regulation of transportation systems have made for a particularly lurching and fitful journey.

Bangkok’s traffic congestion is notorious and begs the question, why has the development of an effective urban transport network been so protracted? Using government archives and annual reports, the author deftly pieces together long-buried records and statistics to reconstruct the transportation policies of each successive metropolitan and national administration, and thereby reveals their underlying political agendas. As he investigates the politicization and regulation of Bangkok’s transport systems over the decades, he uncovers a series of setbacks, reversals, duplications, revisions, and cancelations that help to explain Bangkok’s continuing transportation woes.

A series of maps and tables elucidate the development of transportation routes and the rise and fall of the city’s trams, railways, and bus lines.

Jacques Dournes at his home in France

THE BAREFOOT ANTHROPOLOGISTThe Highlands of Champa and Vietnam in the Words of Jacques Dournes

A N D R E W H A R D Y“Everyone is barefoot. On the trails you go barefoot. I’m still barefoot! I wonder how one can stuff one’s feet into shoes that hurt so much. Feet are like hands, they start narrow and end broad. And shoes, they’re quite the opposite, they start broad and end narrow. So, your foot in a shoe—it’s completely absurd!” —Jacques Dournes, speaking of the forest trails of Vietnam’s Central Highlands, in conversation with Andrew Hardy at Dournes’s house, 1992.

Jacques Dournes lived in Vietnam for twenty-five years, from 1946 to 1970, studying the culture of the Jarai and other highlanders.

In part 1 of this study, Andrew Hardy explores Dournes’s challenging monograph Pötao, une théorie de pouvoir chez les Indochinois jörai and his views on the role of the central highlanders in ancient Champa. In part 2, Dournes speaks animatedly with the author about the Jarai, his feelings about culture and economics, his understanding of Vietnam’s history, and his personal experience of living in the highlands.

ANDREW HARDY is head of the EFEO’s center in Hanoi. He is author of Red Hills: Migrants and the State in the Highlands of Vietnam (2003).

Thawan Duchanee Modern Buddhist Artist

ruSSell MarcuS

Thai national artist Thawan Duchanee has spent his life creating art that deeply

reflects Buddhist philosophy. His internationally renowned art is masterful both for

its intricacy and for its subtle portrayal of Buddhism.

Thawan expresses Buddhist wisdom with incredible versatility. His artworks depict

the dangers of doubt, lust, fear, and lack of concentration that expose humankind’s

pursuit of pleasure and escape from pain and illustrate virtues exemplified in the

previous lives of the Buddha. With over one hundred images, this book examines

themes hidden within the art and guides the reader through some of Thawan’s most

interesting works.

Often told in his own words, this book offers insights into Thawan’s creative genius,

explores his philosophy on the arts, examines his famous signature, and recounts his

life story. It is fascinating reading for all those interested in Thai art and Buddhism.

Going Down to the SeaChinese Sex Workers Abroad

Ko-lIn chIn

In this book, eighteen Chinese women tell how they came to sell sex in Hong Kong,

Macau, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Los Angeles, and New

York. The women’s candid stories put a human face on issues of globalized commercial

sex and provide a raw, inside view of the money-driven transnational sex industry.

The author, an expert in the field of criminal justice, frames their personal accounts

with contextual details and incisive commentary to provide a rich understanding of

the realities and myths of prostitution and global sex trafficking.

While the interviews were gathered as part of an extensive research project for the

author’s 2012 book, Selling Sex Overseas, the full accounts are published here for the

first time. The women describe, in their own words, what motivated them to leave

China to work in the sex trade abroad, how much they earn, what hardships they

face, and what they hope for in the future.

The Buddhist MonasteryA Cross-Cultural Survey

edIted by PIerre PIchard and FranÇoIs lagIrarde

What is a Buddhist monastery? We might define it as a long-term residence of monas-

tics, whether monks or nuns, but even this basic definition fails to cover the whole

Buddhist world. In all periods and regions, the architectural, social, and religious

organization of Buddhist places of worship and monastic residence have varied

considerably.

This collection is the result of an international research program conducted by the

Bangkok branch of the École française d’Extrême-Orient between 1997 and 2003.

The simple and straightforward title belies the uniqueness of the work, for this is the

only comprehensive study presenting a clear geographical and historical overview of

Buddhist monasteries throughout Asia, especially Southeast Asia, and particularly

in Thailand.

PIERRE PICHARD, an architect with the École française d’Extrême-Orient for over thirty

years, has participated in conservation projects in Thailand, Burma, India, Bhutan,

Laos and Vietnam. FRANÇOIS LAGIRARDE is associate professor and researcher at the

École française d’Extrême-Orient in Paris and long-time resident of Thailand and Laos.

Protecting Siam’s Heritage edited by chriS baker

The cultural heritage of Siam is excep-

tionally rich and distinctive. As every-

where, this heritage is under threat

from the pace of change and from the

demands of tourism, mismanagement,

and neglect.

This book is the first to examine the value

of Siam’s heritage and the need to protect

it. These nineteen essays are written by

pioneers of conservation over the last

generation and by activists of today.

inside the temples and buildings located

around the city of Siem Reap.

Written in a concise, accessible style,

with photos and maps, The Story of

Angkor presents an in-depth analysis of

the ancient Angkor civilization that will

appeal to both readers and travelers.

petitive relationships between modern

Sazigyo, Burmese Manuscript Binding TapesWoven Miniatures of Buddhist Art

rAlpH issAcs

Sazigyo are fine, tablet-woven Burmese tapes used to bind the palm-leaf manu-

scripts of an earlier era. Tiny images and extended texts were deftly woven into

the long, colorful bindings. These Buddhist “textile texts” were commissioned

by donors to make merit in the hope of attaining a better rebirth and ultimately

nirvana.

This beautiful book elucidates the religious and social context of sazigyo and

describes in detail the weaves, texts, designs, and images. It contains stunning,

full-scale reproductions and enlargements of many hundreds of sazigyo segments

found in collections throughout the world and presents translated excerpts from

150 sazigyo texts.

The book is a celebration of a craft now vanishing and a tribute to the skill and flair

of Burmese women weavers. It will appeal to weavers, textile designers, and to all

admirers of exquisite craftsmanship.

AunG zAW

Aung San Suu Kyi is a world-renowned, inspirational symbol of Burmese resis-

tance and courage. Released in 2010 after spending fifteen of the previous twenty-

one years under house arrest, many are now looking to her to lead the country. But

is it possible for Suu Kyi to mend the deep divisions in Burmese society? Who are

the groups that make up Burma’s face of resistance? And how can Suu Kyi unite

these disparate factions into one cohesive group to take on the current regime in

the elections scheduled for 2015?

The Face of Resistance explores these questions and sheds light on the people who

have fought alongside Suu Kyi for decades in Burma’s resistance movement. It

profiles key members of the National League for Democracy, the prominent activ-

ists involved in the 1988 student uprising, and the next generation of democracy

leaders.

The Face of Resistance demystifies the volatile state of contemporary Burmese

politics and shows that, despite international accolades, Burma is far from free.

Finding Their VoiceNortheastern Villagers and the Thai State

cHArles keyes

This book traces the evolution of the rural, Lao-speaking people of northeastern

Thailand, now over a third of the nation’s population, from a traditional peasantry

into “cosmopolitan” villagers who are actively shaping Thai politics. The electoral

successes of the Thai Rak Thai/Pheu Thai Party in the early twenty-first century

and the strong support given to the Red-Shirt movement appear to have finally

given the cosmopolitan villagers of northeastern Thailand a continuing voice in the

nation’s political process.

The “Bare Life” of Thai Migrant Workmen in SingaporepAttAnA kitiArsA

Transnational labor migration often begins with the dream of securing a more

stable and prosperous future, a chance to survive. This book reveals some of the

complex phenomena and processes that operate in the lives and dreams of Thai

male migrant workers living abroad, whose life experiences are overwhelmingly

dominated by stress and suffering and diminished gendered roles. Stripped bare

of the powerful sociocultural, economic, and legal processes that govern their

existence at home, these men must recraft their gendered selfhoods, identities, and

sensibilities.

Human Trafficking in ThailandCurrent Issues, Trends, and the Role of

siroJ sorAJJAkool

Few subjects elicit greater moral

outrage than human trafficking. Media

reports of dehumanizing practices such

as slavery, abduction, child prostitu-

tion, and torture, along with shocking

statistics, form the basis of public

knowledge.

With sensitivity and candor, this book

addresses the reality of human traf-

ficking in Thailand, dissecting studies,

presenting facts, and dismissing stereo-

types. It focuses on the areas of fishing,

agriculture, domestic work, sex work,

and the trafficking of children, weaving

Self and SocietyEssays on Pali Literature

and Social Theory, 1988–2010

steven collins

This selection of essays demonstrates

that, in the study of Buddhism, a

concern with detailed accuracy in

philological and textual specifics can

be combined with wider philosophical

and sociological issues. The essays are

divided into three parts: Pali Literature,

The Theory and Practice of Not-Self,

and Buddhism and Society. The last

part builds on but goes beyond the

work of Dumont and Max Weber in

considering “world-renunciation” as a

phenomenon of society and culture.

steven Coll ins is Chester D. Tripp

Professor in the Humanities at the

University of Chicago and a council

member of the Pali Text Society.

Trams, Buses, and RailsThe History of Urban Transport

in Bangkok, 1886–2010

iChiro K AKizAKi

Trams, Buses, and Rails recounts the

unique and little-known 130-year his-

tory of Bangkok’s transportation system,

from the first horse-powered tramway in

1888 to the mass transit urban railway of

the twenty-first century. Using govern-

ment archives and annual reports, the

author deftly pieces together long-buried

records and statistics to reconstruct the

transportation policies of each succes-

sive metropolitan and national admin-

istration. He highlights the politicization

and regulation of Bangkok’s transport

systems over the decades, and uncovers

a series of setbacks, reversals, duplica-

tions, revisions, and cancellations that

help to explain Bangkok’s continuing

transportation woes.

Tribute and ProfitSino-Siamese Trade, 1652–1853

sArAsin virAphol

Tribute and Profit illuminates the con-

duct and maintenance of maritime

trade under Siam’s tributary relationship

with imperial China, and scrutinizes the

momentous role of the Chinese in Siam’s

overseas trade and domestic economy.

Based substantially on historical Chi-

nese, Siamese, and European sources,

Sarasin Viraphol’s reconstruction of the

tributary trade pinpoints the creative

subversions, calculated risks, and clever

contrivances that kept the wheels of the

Siamese economy turning for centuries.

Eventually, tribute missions and the junk

trade were supplanted by European-style

maritime commerce, free trade, and open

markets. Nevertheless, the influences of

these bygone relations are still present in

Thailand today.

saRas in v iRaphol spent eight years

working in academia, followed by

twenty years in the Thai diplomatic

corps, and was appointed ambassador

to the Philippines. He is currently an

executive vice president at Charoen Pok-

phand Group.

translation, except for one short section.

BiograPhy

my journey began aT rajamangala University of Technology, Tak Campus, Thailand. In the small university library, I loved sitting near the window and spending time with beautiful typography, creative photographs and articles—at that time I fell into my own tiny world. I would always dream of having my name in book or magazine.

In the summer of 2006, I decided to be a translator trainee for a free-copy magazine in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They gave me direction on the proper procedures for editorial work. (And I got to see my name on the masthead.) After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the field of English for International Communication, I was still determined to follow my dream. My English writing and translation ability led me to the editorial team of Longstay Guide Magazine1. In the second year I was promoted to be an Editor, responsible for writing and translating articles, proofing layout and English wording, as well ensuring that the magazine was published on time.

After five years of this magazine experience, I stepped down and looked for a new challenge. Silkworm Books2 appointed me as Book Designer, where I can use my English skills and creative thinking to communicate with American editors and learning things like the process of book editing, layout design and the grid system, and how to use Adobe InDesign as a professional. All are important practices in creating the perfect academic book. By now, I have successfully designed many books that are sold on the international market.
