As one might expect, the conflict between Malay nationalists and the Thai Government springs from a history bedevilled by partisan interpretations from both sides. In this book a group of scholars,with not only either Malay or Thai backgrounds but from outside Thailand, attempt to piece together a more nuanced version of Patani's history, looking at pluralism and identity in the state's history, Patani's place in the Muslim world, various version's of Patani's decline and fall and the battle to take control of the history of Patani. xxix & 336 pages.
