| Abstract | "This book considers recent developments in Thai history and historiography, examining why Thai studies had suffered under a combination of protectionism, uncritical learning, and unwillingness to engage with scholarship from abroad. The essays collected here explore, from Thai perspectives, innovations in theory and methodology in Thai studies, gathering critical insights from disciplines such as anthropology and cultural studies. The book may also serve as an entry to Thai studies, informing experts and non-specialist readers alike on topics such as access to Thai archives, the difficulties in conducting ethnographic research with Thai subjects, the (non-)development of scholarly disciplines in Thailand, and the challenges and opportunities presented by Thai studies as a whole for prospective scholars and graduate students."-- Provided by publisher. |
