Bangkok: White Lotus, 2010. 'Cultural Roots of Violence in Malay Southern Thailand' gives voice to the Malays of southern Thailand by offering readers a rich and original corpus of their oral literature. The storyteller Wo Seng is the guardian of the Malay oral tradition. It is thanks to him that the Great South (Patani. Yala. Nantthiwat) has been able to preserve an identity free of the influence of communists, separatists, fundamentalists that ensured a privileged relationship with the supernatural and sacred world. If this identity, as expressed in rice rituals, paintings on the hulls of boats and the performances and representations of sacred theatres, were to be abandoned as a result of seduction by political discourses and preconceived ideas, the reality of a complex and culturally rich ground might be lost in history.

Description:
Bangkok: White Lotus, 2010. First edition. Paperback. New. New. Ivanoff, an experienced anthropologist in Burma and Thailand, in this 333 page book introduces us to the oral literature of the Malay population of the provinces of Patani, Yala and Narathiwat in Southern Thailand. He sets out to show that much of the Malay discontent in this area stems from a need to re-discover their spiritual values as an antidote to "the restrictive dogma of Islam" and their own restrictive traditions. The exposition of his thesis is broken up into four parts, namely 1 - Epic Literature in Peninsular Thailand: a Coveted Isthmus, 2 - Myths and Epics, 3 - The Cycle of Hawe & 4 - Mythical Detours. There is also an extensive bibliography, many balck and white illustrations and three Appendices. Weight: 0.7kg. Post free within Malaysia
