Reviews

A Sarong for Clio offers bold explorations into several critical areas of Thai studies. Its essays will certainly reshape our understanding of Thailand in the modern era. Audacious and uncompromising-and splendidly engrossing-it is a worthy tribute to Craig Reynolds, the scholar whose work it honors. -Richard A. Ruth, U.S. Naval Academy
