Power and Practice in Socio-Religious Dynamics among Karen
Yoko has been doing fieldwork among the people called Karen in Thailand and Burma/Myanmar since 1987, and based his 1992 dissertation on its early stages. Here he pretty much rewrites the entire study not only to incorporate his later research, but more importantly to account for conceptual changes
In this study, Hayami suggests that the Karen in northwestern Thailand are located 'betwixt and between' the peripheries and the mainstream of the modern nation-state. It demonstrates how the Karen actively adopt new religious practices in ways that enable them to maintain communal boundaries and cultural particularity at the same time as they integrate themselves into the broader stream of Thai society.
