"This second book by McCargo to focus on the southern Thai conflict, shows deep analysis and reflection on the role of religion in the development and maintenance of longstanding violence at both regional and national levels. It complements McCargo’s other monograph devoted to the issue, Tearing apart the land (2008).
"This second book by McCargo to focus on the southern Thai conflict, shows deep analysis and reflection on the role of religion in the development and maintenance of longstanding violence at both regional and national levels. It complements McCargo’s other monograph devoted to the issue, Tearing apart the land (2008). One of the merits of the new volume is to magnify investigations to some extent previously presented in separate articles and conference keynote addresses, and therefore making available to the reader a revised and expanded analysis of McCargo’s broad exploration on these issues."
