Through Racing Goggles
Prince Chulachakrabongse and Prince Birabongse Bhanudej were sent to England to study at Harrow and Eton in the 1920s. They lived as Thai princes among the English upper class and indulged in the pastimes of that class, such as athletics, flying and motor car racing. Bira became a successful race car driver on the White Mouse Racing Team, managed by Chula. He even won the Gold Star, awarded to the best “British” race car driver, in three consecut…
Are We Them? Textual and Literary Representations of the Chinese in Twentieth-Century Thailand
King Vajiravudh famously published an essay titled Jews of the Orient in 1914 demonizing the Chinese in Siam as ingrates and parasites. The local Chinese became the "Other Within" in the Thai nation that the king was trying to establish. Whether his reaction to the local Chinese was fueled by ire over the recent strike by the Chinese which paralyzed Bangkok, or a reflection of his English education and exposure to European anti-Semitism, is not t…
Khru Liam's Khwam Mai Phayabat (1915) and the Problematics of Thai Modernity
Luang Wilat Pariwat's Khwam mai phayabat [The Non-Vendetta] published in 1915 under the pseudonym 'Khru Liam' has been acknowledged as the first full-length novel written by a Thai author in the Thai language. However, literary scholars have been ambivalent about its place in the Thai literary canon because it appears to have been written as a parody of Marie Corelli's Vendetta (1886), which was translated into the Thai language in 1901 with the …
Making new space in the Thai literary canon
The Thai literary canon identifies three novels published around 1929 as the first authentic Thai novels. This pronouncement elides the importance of novels published before that date. Because literary scholars focus their teaching, writing and research on novels defined by the canon, lesser-known works have been overlooked or ignored. The current Thai canon obfuscates literary transmission, in particular, the significance of pre-1929 composition…
Thailand
In 1958, Marshal Sarit Thanarat became prime minister of Thailand following a bloodless coup. This book offers a comprehensive study of Sarit's paternalistic, militaristic regime, which laid the foundations for Thailand's support of the US military campaign in Southeast Asia. The analysis documents the ways in which Sarit shaped modern Thai politics, in part by rationalizing a symbiotic relationship between his own office and the Thai monarchy.
Khru Liam’s Nang Neramid
Published for the one and only time in 1916, the little-known Thai novel Nang Neramid [Divine Nymphs] is the recently rediscovered work of Khru Liam (pseudonym Nai Samran). Author of Siam's first example of a full-length novel, Khwam Mai Phayabat [The Non-Vendetta], Khru Liam's fiction bears a close relationship to translated Victorian works popular among Thai readers of the time, such as Marie Corelli's Vendetta and Sir Henry Rider Haggard's She…
The Rise and the Fall of the Thai Young Turks
Mayors and Managers in Thailand
Thai Politics, 1932-1957
