New Mandala: New perspectives on mainland Southeast Asia

 "These essays are valuable guides to all scholars of Thailand trying to make sense of changing ontological landscapes as they are transformed – for better or for worse – before our eyes.

 "These essays are valuable guides to all scholars of Thailand trying to make sense of changing ontological landscapes as they are transformed – for better or for worse – before our eyes.  It is difficult to gaze at a royal billboard on Thanon Ratchawithi or a hastily scrawled anti- Article 122 graffito on a nearby road without considering the rich and sophisticated analyses in these strong essays.  And for that reason, I would recommend this engaging volume as required reading for all scholars working in Thai studies."
