The Nora Bird Dance of Southern Thailand is the first comprehensive book in English to
explore the Nora (Manora) kinship gropu, an ancient community of southern Thai
Buddhists. Through song, dance, and spirit possession, the colorful Nora performancehas become a symbol of the Thai South in a region associated more with violence thanrich cultural diversity. Following many years of anthropological research along with Thai
academic sources, the author explores this untold story about a struggle between
tradition and modernity that pitted cousin against cousin. At the heart of this battle arecapitalist motives, gender tension, ancestral retribution, and spirit mediums communicating with the supernatural
world.

Confessions of A Eurasiam Women : A Destiny in 1920s Vietnam
Chivas-Baron, Clothilde
2018. 176 pp.
ISBN : 9789747534948 (WH Code E22721)¥ 4,840+税

Confessions of a Eurasian Woman. A Destiny in 1920s Vietnam is the story of theemotional life of a mixed-blood Franco-Vietnamese woman. The story is also a vehicle forthe author, a long-time resident of French Indochina, who arrived there in 1909, to
campaign on behalf of the better treatment of mixed-blood children. The intricate plot reads
like a psychological thriller following the feelings of revenge for discrimination suffered andthe inner struggles of a Eurasian woman. Children of mixed marriages were often theillegitimate offspring of Vietnamese mistresses and high officials, but also the children of Frenchmen who held lessexalted positions in the colony, the so-called colons who sought a better future than they would have had in France.
How were these mixed-race children educated? What could they expect after growing up? Did they all desire to get
to Paris however they could? As a very early feminist the author did not fail to comment on the life of French colonial
women too. In passing, she records impressions of official, business and social life, and of such places as Hue,
Saigon and Angkor Wat, always worthy of a vacation, if not from work then from the daily struggles against
discrimination.

Ministry of Commerce and Communications

2017. 192 pp., illus.

ISBN : 9789748434995 (WH Code E22725)¥ 3,960+税

The Economic Conditions of North-Eastern Siam is the report of the first economic
survey of Isan, conducted by Reginald Stuart Le May in 1929. Prior to 1929, not much
was known of neglected Northeast Siam, previously called Laos. The population,
almost 4 million, 1/3rd of the Kingdom’s, was primarily ethnically Lao and Khmer. Le
May’s work, the result of provincial-level questionnaires, provides foundational
knowledge of the contours of economic life in this neglected region just as Siam’s 1932
constitutional revolution took place. Leedom Lefferts wrote the introduction andcompares the work with Carle C. Zimmermann’s Siam: Rural Economic Survey 1930-1931 (Available as a White
Lotus Press reprint).

Three Women of Annam. Womanhood in 1920s Vietnam was written by a Frenchfeminist of the early hours. She tells the story of three local women, contrasting theirdestinies as they belonged to different social strata. They are the daughter of a highplaced official called against her will to the imperial palace, a peasant woman ending ina city sweatshop due to the usury of a Chinese shop-keeper, and a so-called congaie,an indigenous woman in consecutive relationships with French colonial officials. The
last of these women lives the most precarious, although intermittently rich, life. In status barely beyond life on thestreets as a prostitute, she often has mixed-breed offspring that suffer a discrimination that perpetuates the nearabhorence of Asians for the foreign devils. The migrant to the city is tempted by the luxury associated with being a
Frenchman’s local wife.

Phuket Days is a “must-read” for anyone who visits, lives, or plans a ride on this island roller-coaster. Knowledgeable,
affectionate and funny, this new book - part story, part guide, opens up a wide-ranging perspective, with fresh insights
into one of the worlds’ top tourist attractions. Based on the conviction that there is so much more to this tropicalparadise than its tired stereotype as a pleasure palace, and unlike other “expat” accounts which concentrate only on
its bar culture, “Phuket Days” teems with first-hand observations and opinions about “The Pearl of the Andaman” - its
past, present and future. Taking the catastrophe of the 2004 tsunami’ as its point of departure, it runs the gamut fromfestivals and flora, ladyboys and “Babas”, social mores and soap operas, developments and driving habits, charactersand criminals.

Titillating Tales from Northern Thailand is an unusual and fascinating collection oftales from Northern Thailand containing - besides myths, legends, trickster tales, fairy
tales, anecdotes etc - also a number of tales where sex is a central theme. The authorof this volume spent several years in a Northern Thai village in the 1970ties, and was
lucky to become friend with masterful storytellers, who loved to make their audiencelaugh, thus they also included tales relating in various ways to sex, such as how amarried man living in the house of his wife's parents, is attracted to his wife's younger
sister, and how he can have intercourse with her; or that celibate Buddhist monks still may have strong sexual desires,and in what ways they can have these desires fulfulled. In fact, the stories demonstrate how supposedly respecfulpeople do not always behave respectfully or that they are simply rather stupid and do not diserve respect, thus manyof the victims of trickery are in fact persons of authority. The stories give an rare insight into several aspects ofNorthern Thai sociey as well as Northern Thai oral tradition and humour.

This study of shamans in northeastern Laos details the call, training, and ritual practiceof female and male healers, as well as of male funeral shamans who guide thedeceased's spirit to heaven. Based almost exclusively on interviews with shamans andweavers in mountain and urban villages of Hua Phan province, Tending the Spirits:
The Shamanic Experience in Northeastern Laos does what no other book has done
before. It draws information almost entirely from the oral tradition of the shamans
themselves, illuminating the multivalent complexities of belief and practice as they evolve over time. The relation
between the shaman and the weaver is a symbiotic one, with the shaman chanting out visual images in his trance
narrative, and the weaver translating what she hears into mythic, hybrid images on the loom.

ingots known as chiang money; metalic alloy, glass and porcelain tokens and most famously pot duang, commonly
called bullet money because of their shape.

The Politics of (No) Elections in Thailand : Lessons from the 2011 General election: King Prajadhipok's Institute Years No. 6
Merieau, Eugenie
2016. 278 pp.
ISBN : 9789747534245 (WH Code E22711)¥ 5,060+税

The book was borne out of the idea that the 2011 election represents a paradigm shift in the history of Thai electoralpolitics. Data collected by King Prajadhipok’s Institute before and after the 2011 election, mostly through face-to-faceinterviews, came to substantiate this claim. The data paints a picture of a well-informed and mature Thai electorate
in all parts of the kingdom. Contrary to the conclusions drawn by some earlier research, the data here shows that themost knowledgeable and most informed of all voters in Thailand are northeastern people, outperforming voters in
Bangkok in their knowledge of the candidates and the issues by a signifi cant margin. In other words, the scholars inthis book argue against the traditional anti-election discourse, which assumes alleged ignorance on the part of Thai
voters (especially in the Northeast) and compares provincial members of Parliament to wild animals. Yet suchdiscourse is still vivid today.

Trams of Bangkok, Eighty Years 1888-1968, is the first work tracing the history of trams
in Bangkok, a pioneering work with Danish and Belgian involvement. Thailand was thesecond country in Southeast Asia with trams. First, horse-drawn trams appeared in
1888. But as horse-drawn trams were not very suitable in the tropics, they were
replaced in 1893 by electric trams. (In that same year, the French attacked Siam inwhat became known as the Paknam Incident.) The resulting electric tram company,
with its own generators, was one of the oldest in Southeast Asia. The Dutch introduced trams in Batavia (Jakarta) in
1869. Singapore followed in July 1905, after having experimented with electric tramways in 1891 and 1892. In 1893,
Bangkok had a population of 250,000. The trams became quite popular with the people. The author made new
drawings of all the tram lines. He has located the best information available on the electric tram cars, as the archives
are poor.

Contemporary Laos: Development Path and Outlook of a Nation provides a critical lookat obstacles to the development of the Laos state. It explores different facets of its
political, economic, societal, and cultural history and focuses on the current period of
unfinished transition. The author offers an analysis of the geopolitical position of Laos, its
relations with the global powers and with its ASEAN partners, and its efforts to maintainequilibrium with Vietnam and China. Once known as the kingdom of Lane Xang, Laos
was a backwater during French colonial times and was often called the “forgotten country”
during the two Indochina wars. It became the Lao People’s Democratic Republic on December 2, 1975. The country
has slowly rebuilt itself after different wars (colonial and civil) over the past century, which considerably curbed its
cultural and economic development. A member of ASEAN since 1997 and the World Trade Organizationsince
February 2013, Laos plays an active role today as a partner in the regional economic community.
