Reviews
"""Thailand's Far South is a vividly embedded ethnography and empathic navigation of a minoritized frontier and political periphery, constituted in part by agonistic executive powers and in part by the hauntology of the recursive temporalities and murk of a violence anticipated as a memory-to-come.""--Allen Feldman, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University ""Thailand's Far South offers a breakthrough exploration into the complexities of violence encountered by Malay Muslims amid recurring shadow insurgencies. Kee Howe Yong delves into the realities of the lives and livelihoods of ordinary civilians in the conflict zone through narratives in their vernacular language. Yong's ethnographic prowess and sensitivity shed light on violence as a daily experience at the interface between the national territory of Buddhist Thailand and the maritime Malay world.""--Noboru Ishikawa, Professor of Anthropology at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University"
