Description

Explore the changing landscape of Thai Buddhism in this academic study by James Taylor. This book examines how religion functions within the complex and shifting postmodern urban environments of Thailand, particularly in the wake of the 1997 financial crisis. By defining the cultural nature of Thai urbanity, the text looks at how local and global flows create new social formations. It provides a way to understand everyday urban life through the lens of lived religious experiences. Readers will gain insight into how changes in urban centers affect the remaining forests and monastic life. This work is a significant resource for those studying the intersection of religion, sociology, and urban development in Southeast Asia.
