Reviews

"Askew's study of Bangkok provides the most comprehensive attempt to chart the complex realities of Bangkok, carefully interweaving the history of the city with contemporary developments. It is perhaps more important in its efforts to correct previous overly economic and technological interpretations of Bangkok by using case studies of the lives of the city's people. It will become an indispensible aid to those readers who are wanting to dig beneath the tourist book images of the city. - Terry McGee, Institute of Asian Research, University of British Columbia, Canada -
