Description

During the early decades of the 20th century, Thailand's capital, Bangkok, took on an increasingly cosmopolitan character, a development fuelled both by global economic forces and a local revolution in communications. The 1920s were a particularly dynamic period of social and cultural transformation that had a profound impact on the development of Thai modernity. This book examines the growth of a polyphonous and often vociferous Thai public, a public that used a range of new media outlets to express themselves and clamour for a more just and equitable social order. Scot Barme mines a rich lode of cultural ephemera found in popular newspapers, magazines, novels, short stories, film booklets and cartoons to create a cultural history of early modern Thailand that moves beyond conventional, elite-based historical studies of the period. By focusing on such controversies and conflicts as the status of women, relations between the sexes, class antagonisms and the growth of a commercial mass culture, this book offers a new interpretation of the key decade of the 1920s and its significance for contemporary Thailand.
