Tai and Karens, Karens and Thais Old and New Cross-Cultural Narratives in and around Chiang Mai (and beyond in Thailand)
This paper discusses changes in the narratives of Sgaw and Pwo Karen regarding their neighbours, in particular Tai or Thai people. Prior to the nineteenth century, Karen narratives comprised a range of non-diachronic accounts teaching the young how to behave, explaining natural phenomena, and accounting for the relatively lower status the Karens found themselves in relation to their neighbours, such as the Tais, who ruled kingdoms. Among the most…

Studying peoples often called Karen
There are many people in Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand who are known as Karen. Most of these people live in Burma. There are other people in this area who do not call themselves Karen but who are called by Karen by various peoples for sometimes divergent reasons. Warned by the Burmese in about 1825 that the British were fierce and dangerous, Karen in the Tavoy (Dawei) area took evasive action in ways that showed they knew how to stay hidden. One o…

The Monk, the Hmong, the Forest, the Cabbage, Fire and Water: Incongruities in Northern Thailand Opium Replacement
Farmers in the Hmong village of Pa Kluai have replaced outlawed opium production with production of cabbages for urban markets. But because cabbage, unlike opium, requires the use of irrigation and pesticides, Thai farmers living downstream from Pa Kluai blame the Hmong for deforesting hills and polluting streams. Unsuccessful attempts to resolve the conflict between Hmong villagers and their lowland neighbors illustrate conflicts over what it me…
Research Notes and Comments: Minorities in Burmese History
The Delineation of the Kayah States Frontiers with Thailand: 1809-1894
In 1809, representatives of Chiang Mai and the Kayah State of Kantarawaddy marked their mutual boundary by releasing a buffalo on the summit of a range of mountains and erecting markers on the line it followed. As this episode suggests, these Kayahs and Thais (and also Burmans) translated the world into cognitive maps quite different from those of the British colonialists who would later rule in Burma. The anthropologist, Edmund Leach, noted this…
