Book Synopsis Religious Influences in Thai Female Education (1889-1931) by : Runchana Pam Suksod-Barger
Download or read book Religious Influences in Thai Female Education (1889-1931) written by Runchana Pam Suksod-Barger and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study Runchana Pam Suksod-Barger examines the impact of religion on female access to education in Thailand from 1889 to 1931--the early Modernization Period in Thailand. Although Thailand had traditionally been a Buddhist nation-state, Protestant missionaries during this era arrived in the country to convert Thais to Christianity. The Protestant belief in literacy so that everyone could read the Bible opened up educational opportunities for Thai girls that were not previously available to them. Suksod-Barger investigates the degree to which Buddhist and Christian (Protestant) influences affected Thai educational reforms for girls in primary and secondary education during the early Modernization Period, using a feminist theoretical framework to understand the social, political, economic, and religious impact. Examination of historical documents and empirical data are employed to compare the effect of two religions' values on female education access. The study contributes to the exploration of the historical and contextual discourse of Buddhism and women in Thailand, the history of education for Thai females during the early Modernization Period, and the overview of Protestant missions in the country, particularly their influence in establishing systems of mass education.

Download or read book Descriptions of Old Siam written by and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siam, known from 1939 to 1945 and since 1948 as Thailand, was first written about by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, by the Dutch and the French in the seventeenth, and by numerous visitors of all nationalities from the middle of the nineteenth century, when, under the influence, first of King Mongkut, and then his son and successor, King Chulalongkorn, the country opened up and residents and visitors became more common. The accounts of these early diplomats, merchants, missionaries, and plain tourists make fascinating reading and allow the modern reader to see both the continuities and changes in the country renowned for its exoticism. Michael Smithies has selected generously from these accounts in order to give a picture of the country as a whole, not just its capital, at first Ayutthaya, then Bangkok, where the kings held sway, but also the different regions of the country: the south, the north, and the north-east. For the contemporary visitor in search of earlier impressions, this volume will be revealing and instructive, and will complement the standard travel guide in an unusual, informative, and often amusing way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual and intriguing study of nationhood explores the 19th-century confrontation of ideas that transformed the kingdom of Siam into the modern conception of a nation.

Book Synopsis Performing Political Identity by : Marc Askew
Download or read book Performing Political Identity written by Marc Askew and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing Political Identity is an anthropological account of the multi-level dynamics that underlie the continuing electoral dominance of the Democrat Party in southern Thailand, a conspicuous anomaly in Thailand's political landscape. Based on extensive participant observation and interviews, the book presents a detailed study of candidates, support groups, and election campaigns in the province of Songkhla in the eventful years 2004 and 2005, highlighting the intimate links between local and national politics. Marc Askew argues that the Democrat ascendancy is based on a careful balance between "pragmatics" and "poetics." Pragmatics comprises the management of the ambitions and needs of key supporters in tightly knit informal political groups, or phuak. Poetics involves the cultivation of powerful myths connecting ordinary voters to an idea of the Democrat Party as an embodiment of the idealized qualities of southern Thainess and guardian of southern Thai political culture. In the dramatic settings of political rallies, southern Democrat voters and politicians alike perform their loyalty and identity as a moral community against political enemies who are demonized as their evil opposites bent on buying votes and "eating the country." From 2001, Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai Party, although triumphant elsewhere in Thailand, faced stubborn opposition in the south. Again in 2005, against all national trends, southern voters stubbornly reaffirmed their loyalty to the Democrats. This book, the first detailed treatment of the southern Democrat Party in action, explores the symbolic and organizational strategies that the party employs to reproduce and sustain its regional political ascendancy.
