Between Hills and Plains
Power and Practice in Socio-Religious Dynamics among Karen
by Yoko Hayami
|
 |
In this study, Hayami suggests that the Karen in
north-western Thailand are located ‘betwixt and between’ the
peripheries and the mainstream of the modern nation-state. It
demonstrates how the Karen actively adopt new religious practices in
ways that enable them to maintain communal boundaries and cultural
particularity at the same time as they integrate themselves into the
broader stream of Thai society.
