Becoming Patani Warriors
Focusing on the case of Thailand's ongoing insurgency in its southern Malay Muslim majority region, this article examines the circumstances surrounding individual's choices to engage in violent revolt and their conformity and non-conformity with the norms and disciplines of the movement in which they operate. Insurgent-driven violence in Thailand's southern border provinces has attracted considerable attention, but little has been published about…
Insurgency redux
Comprehending the origins, dynamics and solutions to the ongoing violence in southern Thailand's Muslim majority border provinces has proved to be a challenge, not only to successive Thai governments and security forces but also to scholars and other investigators. Insurgent-instigated attacks, now paralleled by and intertwined with more opportunistic forms of violence, have afflicted the border region for nearly seven years (as of late 2010), wi…

Insurgency and the Market for Violence in Southern Thailand
Although violence in Thailand's southern border provinces declined from its peak in 2007, low-level violence continues to challenge the state. This essay discusses the limitations of paradigms and policy under the current Democrat Party-led government in the context of the enigmatic insurgency and associated opportunistic violence fuelling the instability
Thai South and Malay North
The portion of the Malay Peninsula where the Thai Buddhist civilization of Thailand gives way to the Malay Muslim civilization of Malaysia is characterized by multiple forms of pluralism. An appreciation of the long history and varied forms of that pluralism opens up fresh and important perspectives on the violent crisis currently affecting southern Thailand.Thai South and Malay North brings together research by academic specialists working on th…
Landscapes of fear, horizons of trust
Thai Buddhist and Malay Muslim neighbours in Thailand's Muslim-majority deep south face the challenge of managing everyday life in the midst of an enigmatic insurgency where both ethno-religious groups are victims of violence, but where the assailants are difficult to identify. This ethnographically-focused paper examines horizons of trust and suspicion as villagers confront threats to their safety, negotiate state authorities and encounter broad…

Thailand's Recalcitrant Southern Borderland
In Thailand, efforts to identify the dynamics, causes, and culprits of the ongoing violence in the Muslim-majority provinces of the south have been informed by narratives of conspiracy. The surge of violence that has wracked the border provinces since early 2004 is suspected by many to be driven not only by ideologically motivated “militants,” but by pragmatic interest groups. Suspicions of secret manipulation are deeply embedded in Thailand, ref…

Pilgrimage and Prostitution
In this article we argue that ‘Border Tourism’—intensive patterns of tourist visitation between adjoining countries—requires more systematic attention by scholars as an important sociological, anthropological and spatial phenomenon. Border Tourism and the often marginal spaces where it emerges exhibit some distinctive features: notably the juxtaposition of illicit and liminal activities sustained by multiple motivations among visitors. This paper…
Community-Building among the Bangkok Middle Class
While the suburban-dwelling middle classes of Bangkok have been portrayed as essentially individualistic and materialistic, attention to the development of particular housing communities can reveal significant patterns of neighbourhood formation and commitment to localities. This paper will show that such commitment to ‘place’ can be revealed in a high capacity for mobilization and co-operation in efforts to improve the immediate physical and soc…

City of Women, City of Foreign Men
In this paper I propose that spatially‐informed and agency‐centred treatments of prostitution as a practice can fruitfully highlight the moral and symbolic economies operating in the lives of women as they engage and disengage with prostitution in the tourist sex trade zones of Bangkok. By reexamining and re‐contextualising the practices of prostitution in terms of interacting spatial/socio‐cultural fields, we can gain more useful insights than h…

The Rise of Moradok and the Decline of the Yarn
Moradok, the Thai word customarily used to refer to property inheritance, has entered into professional, media, and policy discourse over the last two in Thailand to connote public cultural heritage. This represents a trend in cultural policy which reflects internal social and cultural anxieties stemming from the development decades as well as international stimuli. This discussion examines the issue of urban her
