Siamese Melting Pot

Ethnic Minorities in the Making of Bangkok

Beschreibung

In tracing the social, political, and spatial dynamics of Bangkok's ethnic pluralism through the two-and-a-half centuries of the city's history, this book calls attention to a long-neglected mainspring of Thai urban development. This account extends backward and forward to reveal the continuing impact of Bangkok's ethnic minorities on Thai culture, within the broader context of Thai development studies.

Autor

Edward Van Roy arrived in Thailand in 1963 with the Cornell-Bennington Survey of Hill Tribes in Thailand and, in effect, never left. His hill tribe research led to a doctorate in economics, credentialled in economic anthropology (University of Texas, 1965) and a monograph titled Economic Systems of Northern Thailand (1971).
