Siam Mapped: A History of the Geo-Body of a Nation

By Thongchai Winichakul

Book Overview

This study of nationhood explores the 19th-century confrontation of ideas that transformed the kingdom of Siam into the modern conception of a nation. Siam Mapped challenges much that has been written on Thai history because it demonstrates that the physical and political definition of Thailand on which other works are based is anachronistic.
