Book Synopsis The Ambiguous Allure of the West by : Rachel V. Harrison
Download or read book The Ambiguous Allure of the West written by Rachel V. Harrison and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ambiguous Allure of the West examines the impact of Western imperialism on Thai cultural development from the 1850s to the present and highlights the value of postcolonial analysis for studying the ambiguities, inventions, and accommodations with the West that continue to enrich Thai culture. Since the mid-nineteenth century, Thais have adopted and adapted aspects of Western culture and practice in an ongoing relationship that may be characterized as semicolonial. As they have done so, the notions of what constitutes "Thainess" have been inflected by Western influence in complex and ambiguous ways, producing nuanced, hybridized Thai identities.The Ambiguous Allure of the West brings together Thai and Western scholars of history, anthropology, film, and literary and cultural studies to analyze how the protean Thai self has been shaped by the traces of the colonial Western Other. Thus, the book draws the study of Siam/Thailand into the critical field of postcolonial theory, expanding the potential of Thai Studies to contribute to wider debates in the region and in the disciplines of cultural studies and critical theory. The chapters in this book present the first sustained dialogue between Thai cultural studies and postcolonial analysis.By clarifying the distinctive position of semicolonial societies such as Thailand in the Western-dominated world order, this book bridges and integrates studies of former colonies with studies of the Asian societies that retained their political independence while being economically and culturally subordinated to Euro-American power.

Book excerpt: A retired Spanish diplomat, veteran of The Sudan, Egypt, Kenya, Turkey, Pakistan, United Kingdom and Thailand, and witness to three coup d'etat (Khartoum, Islamabad, Bangkok), retires from diplomatic service to live in Thailand. A country divided due to the coup of 2006 that ousted a populist Prime Minister. He soon finds out that the house he built in the city of Surat Thani, overlooking the river Tapee, is a real nightmare, for his nosy German neighbour, with his Thai wife, become "neighbours-from-hell"; breaking into his house in his absence. After a year-long costly legal process the land and house are out of the clutches of the obnoxious couple. The German and his "sublime" wife divorcing - she being unfaithful. It is his fourth divorce. In Bangkok, he witnesses the followers ("red shirts") of the ousted PM occupying the business and commercial centre of the Thai capital. Torching more than twenty buildings. He is made to evacuate the "condo" in the centre. The demonstrators are violently expelled by a bloody military crackdown. Let this be a warning to those foreigners who want to own a house in Thailand for they cannot be the legal owners, it must be in the hands of a Thai - who can fleece them no end. They can only own "condos."

Download or read book Revenge Season written by Mark Jones and published by Booksmango. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Do you know where this track leads to Peter?” said Baey shining his torch into the blackness of the jungle beyond. “It skirts the river, into the National Park, and ends at a major waterfall roughly three kilometers from here. I’ve been up there once, a couple years ago,” said Pete looking shell shocked after all the physical exertion. “I think we’d better get going,” said Baey as we heard the mesh fence rattling with the sound of people climbing over it. “On the run into the jungle then is it, Baey?” I said trying to make light of the situation. “No Mike, we’re leading them into a trap. They’re on my turf now, not their decadent fleshpot in Pattaya,” he countered with a deadly glint in his eyes. Ning’s out of jail and hell bent on revenge. Mike’s got himself into another jam helping a friend who’s run afoul of a greedy, malicious wife and Baey’s stepped in to do what he usually does; sort out the bad guys. In the long awaited sequel, to “Fear and Loathing in Pattaya,” there’s trouble brewing near Khao Yai National Park as Mike heads north to bail out a mate. In a continuation of the journey into the darker side, of the nuances of Thai culture, Revenge Season takes you away from the comfortable surrounds of urban Thailand and into the unforgiving harshness of the tropical jungles; a place where the ultimate killer is not man but nature itself. A classic tale of greed, deception, and ruthlessness takes you beyond the dangers of the geographical interior and into the dark, dangerous interior of the human soul. In the deep jungles of Thailand there’s more to fear than the monsoon season. Be afraid, it’s Revenge Season.

Download or read book The Bangkok Asset written by John Burdett and published by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonchai Jitpleecheep—the brash and beguiling Royal Thai Police Force detective who has been our guide through John Burdett’s five previous acclaimed Bangkok novels—is back. The former monk and devout Buddhist, forever battling to protect his karma from the assaults of morally compromising cases, is now faced with the most horrifying technological innovation to make its way to the streets of Bangkok, and a conspiracy of almost unfathomable reach. With Sonchai on this case is the young female inspector Krom. Like Sonchai, she’s an outsider on the police force, but unlike him, she is socially savvy and a technological prodigy. When they’re called to a demonstration—in the midst of a typhoon—of the deadly, superhuman strength of an American man who is seemingly controlled by a CIA operative, they have no idea what they’re actually witnessing or why. Their reliably obtuse and unequivocally crooked boss, Colonel Vikorn, explains some of it, but the most telling questions remain unanswered: Could the Americans have figured out a way to create a physically and psychologically enhanced supersoldier? Are they testing him—or it—on Thai soil? And why is everyone, from the Bangkok police to the international community, so eager to turn a blind eye? Searching for the answers to these questions, Sonchai and Krom find themselves in a remote Cambodian jungle compound for aging American ex-soldiers, where they will discover just how far a government will go to protect its worst secrets—both past and present. But the case will also have much more personal repercussions for Sonchai, shaking his world to its very foundation and perhaps finally forcing him to confront his long-lost American father.
