Commentary on Reynolds' "Radical Discourse in Thailand: The True Face of the Thai Sadina System"
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Thai studies, whether in the fields of history, politics, or society.
– Niti Uhion (Thammasat University, Thailand)
This book is a rich, in-depth, open-ended text or combination of texts, meticulous and passionate, erudite and provocative. In the future, it will become increasingly difficult to reject the collected works as naïve or imperfect, or to consider Thai historical works written in English as "rarely controversial." All those who dedicate themselves to the study of Thailand's history and present must take it into account; For many, it will spark new ideas.
– Andrew Teton (University of London)
Comments on Ji Pumisa and his book The True Face of the Sadina System in Thailand Today
Ji Pumisa is a once-in-a-century genius in Thailand, and his research on the ancient social history, language and writing, ethnic politics, literature and art of the Southeast Asian Peninsula, especially the Chao Phraya River Basin, is still unsurpassed. The rarest value of his research is that it is subversive.
——Xiaorui Pei (Peking University)
Thailand's first contemporary talent subset Pumisa is talented and has written a lot of books. The True Face of the Sadina System in Thailand Today... A penetrating analysis of Thai history that greatly revises the traditional view.
—Benedict Anderson (Cornell University)
Brief description of the content
This book focuses on Ji Pumisa, a prominent left-wing scholar and writer in Thailand of the mid-20th century, and his seminal book, The True Face of the Sadina System in Thailand Today. Although Ji Pumisa was shot dead by the Thai military government at the age of 36, his defiance of the resistance and rational criticism of power, his pursuit of social justice, and his sympathetic understanding of the bottom of society made him a spiritual representative of the younger generation and an ideal symbol of radicalism at that time; At the same time, he was gifted in research, active in thinking, and dared to challenge academic authority, shaking the foundation of traditional historiography at that time.
The author, Reynolds, both writes about this history and critiques the historiography involved, especially the controversy over the formation of Thai society. Speaking about the nature of imperialism, feudalism and power, Reynolds argues that comparisons between European and Thai pre-modern societies show that Thai social formations are "historical, contingent and time-limited."
Ji Pumisa's unfinished work adopts Marxist theory to analyze the Thai social system at that time, using historical evidence such as royal chronicles and archives to support his analysis, coupled with his excellent mastery of language, making his analysis eloquent and convincing. Of course, this is not a mature work, nor is it finalized, although only the analysis of the "socio-economic" part is completed, but the economic base determines the superstructure, through this part of the analysis, we can also get a glimpse of the "feudal" or "sadina" of modern Thai society, and examine its impact on Thai society and politics today. This book had an important impact on Thai society in the second half of the 20th century, and it is also a "masterpiece" that cannot be ignored in the study of Thai history today.

Arrested in 1958 for progressive activities, released in 1964, and under continued threats to his safety, he dived deep into the mountains the following year to participate in an armed struggle led by the Communist Party of Thailand, where he was killed the same year. His work was banned for a long time and was only widely disseminated after 1973. In terms of literary creation, he was the backbone of the "art for life, art for the people" movement at that time. The theoretical work Art for Life, Art for the People (1957) discussed the class nature of literature and the direction that Thai literature should follow. The poems "The Soul of Siam" and "Advice from an Old Friend" are exemplary works of progressive literature of the time. His songs "May Day Nanwang Dance", "Sacred Song of Labor" and "Starlight of Faith" inspired the oppressed and exploited people. In academic terms, many of his works used Marxist-Leninist viewpoints to evaluate Thai literature and history for the first time, such as "Commentary on Culture and Art" and "The Origin of Thai Literature". His works and literary activities have had a profound impact on contemporary Thai literature, especially young writers.

In Craig S. Craig J. Reynolds is a renowned expert in Thai and Southeast Asian history at the Australian National University, and his professional and personal life has been closely linked to Thailand. Reynolds has been deeply involved in Thai historical research for decades, has written a lot of books, and has made important contributions to the promotion of Thai historiography, and Thai academics affectionately call him Achan Craig, which means "Teacher Craig".
Born on June 7, 1941 in Chicago, Reynolds graduated from Brighton High School in Rochester, New York, in 1959 and received a bachelor's degree in English literature from Amherst College in Massachusetts in 1962. After graduation, he did not rush to find employment, but signed up as a volunteer for the U.S. Peace Corps. In September 1963, Reynolds was sent to Krabi Province on the west coast of Thailand's southern peninsula region to become an English teacher at a local secondary school. It was the first time the young Reynolds had become involved in Thailand, and perhaps he did not expect that Thai Studies would become his lifelong commitment. Today, Krabi has developed into Thailand's famous tourist destination, with luxury tourist resorts, an international airport and a bustling night market, but in the 60s of the 20th century, Krabi was an obscure fishing village with difficult conditions, and even Thai Ministry of Education officials at the time considered it to be an underdeveloped part of Thailand. But being away from the bustling capital Bangkok gave Reynolds a real experience and understanding of Thailand's underclass.
In September 1965, Reynolds returned to the United States after a two-year volunteer career to pursue a doctorate at Cornell University. Because of his volunteer experience in Thailand, he chose Cornell University's Southeast Asia Program (SEAP). Southeast Asia as a regional concept began after World War II, in the context of the Cold War, Southeast Asia has become one of the main battlefields of ideological contention, the importance of the region in international affairs has become increasingly prominent, and the United States urgently needs experts and scholars who are familiar with local languages and national conditions. The U.S. government has established special Southeast Asian studies programs at Yale University, Cornell University, and the University of California, Berkeley, among which the Southeast Asia Program at Cornell University, established in 1950, has achieved the most remarkable results. Under the leadership of Lauriston Sharp and George Kahin, among others, Cornell University has become a major center for Southeast Asian studies in the United States. They placed great emphasis on language proficiency, providing instruction in the major languages throughout Southeast Asia, and working with language teaching to create the richest library of Southeast Asian books in the United States, today's John M. Echols Collection, which contains more than 70,000 books in Thai alone. Originally wanting to study linguistics, Reynolds eventually chose history after becoming a doctoral candidate. Here, he studied with renowned Southeast Asian studies experts Oliver W. Wolters, David K. Wyatt, Stanley J. O'Connor, among others, and met enthusiastic classmates: Charnvit Kasetsiri, Akin Rabibhadana, and Akin Rabibhadana. Thak Chaloemtiarana, Leonard Andaya, Barbara Watson Andaya, Reynaldo Ileto, Noel Battye, etc. Many of them are young scholars from Southeast Asia, especially from Thailand. During his contact with them, Reynolds developed an academic interest in Thai history, and Benedict R. O'G., a young political science lecturer at Cornell at the time. Anderson's shift in Reinolds' academic interests also played a boost. When Reynolds later wrote "Radical Discourse in Thailand: The True Face of the Thai Sadina System," Anderson "suggested many translation and editorial issues with his talent for linguistic and conceptual understanding," for which he remained grateful. After Anderson's death, Reynolds said emotionally: "I never took his class, but he was my teacher, I learned a lot from him, and I was lucky to have met and worked with him briefly. ”
After earning his doctorate, Reynolds moved to Australia in 1972 to teach, where he worked for 20 years and produced a group of outstanding historians, including Hong Lysa, Dhida Saraya and Thongchai Winichakul, who have made achievements in the fields of Thai history and Southeast Asian history. Among them, Thongchai is the most influential, and his influential book in Southeast Asian historiography, Siam Mapped: A History of the Geo-Body of a Nation, was based on a doctoral dissertation written under the supervision of Reynolds. In 1991, Reynolds moved his family to Canberra to teach and research at the Australian National University's Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies until his retirement in 2007.
Reynolds' historical research discusses a wide range of issues and remains open to new currents, methods, and perspectives. While at Cornell, he developed an interest in interdisciplinary research and complex concepts under the influence of Walters. Because of his literary background, Reynolds pays great attention to discourse analysis in his articles, attaches importance to the power of language and rhetoric, and emphasizes conceptual precision. While teaching at the University of Sydney, Reynolds also taught courses on humanities and social science theories such as anthropology, sociology and semiotics, and he also introduced these disciplines into his historical research. Since the 80s of the 20th century, the research paradigm within history has begun to shift, constantly being attacked by postmodern cultural theorists, who have criticized the neutrality and objectivity of historical research and the coherence and explanatory power of historical narratives. Reynolds, one of the early historians to embrace postmodern thought, was familiar with poststructuralist and deconstructivist methods and terminology, and was also under some attack. But he is unimpressed, arguing that this shift is the trend of the times, but in practice he is quite restrained, which is epitomized in his essay "The Plot of Thai History: Theory and Practice," in which he draws on the postmodern historian Hayden White's emplotment analytical framework. An analysis of Thailand's 1932 revolution and Thongchai's "the geobody of Siam" criticizes the influence of royalist and nationalist historiography on the episodicization of Thai history. After being translated into Thai, this article had a profound impact on Thai historiography and promoted the innovation of Thai historiography methods and concepts.
Reynolds attaches great importance to the significance of Thai native scholars and local languages to historical writing, emphasizing the Thai context and local perspective, which is somewhat of the anthropologist's "cultural mastery" perspective. In fact, his historical writing does pay attention to drawing on and absorbing the ethnographic writing experience of anthropologists. At the same time, unlike many Western scholars, Reynolds is proficient in Thai, not only to the extent of reading literature and daily communication, but also to speak directly in Thai instead of his native English. Since 1977, Reynolds has been invited to give lectures in Thai at various universities in Thailand, and in order to be able to accurately express all his views, Reynolds has to spend a lot of time "doing homework". In the process, he discovered that it was not just a matter of language switching, but also of differences in the starting point of thought and thinking. Thanks to his good knowledge of the Thai language and familiarity with Thailand, Reynolds keenly observed the paradigms and trends of Thai academia in different periods, as well as the transformation of Thai society, and at the same time, he also saw the subtle differences in some words, found the important meaning behind them, and carried out insightful analysis.
Reynolds began his academic career with the study of religious history in Thailand. His first work, his unpublished doctoral dissertation, The Buddhist Monkhood in Nineteenth-Century Thailand, examined the Sangha Reformation in 19th-century Thailand from an institutionalization and intellectual history perspective, providing an in-depth analysis of the split between the Thammayutika and the Mahanika sect. Later, in his 1976 article "Buddhist Cosmography in Thai History, with Special Reference to Nineteenth-Century Culture Change," Reynolds explicitly proposed that Siam's Buddhist reform was first and foremost under the influence of Western culture. The ideological transformation of the traditional Buddhist three-world cosmology by the elite. He then compiled and commented on the autobiography of the monk Wachirayan Warorot, further pointing out the close relationship between the country's political reforms and the Sangha reforms during the reign of King Chulalongkorn V. Reynolds has also published articles on economic change in Buddhism, Buddhism and politics, Buddhism and traditional culture, and women's rights, but at the same time his focus on Thailand has shifted from traditional society to modernity. He became deeply interested in the history of modern ideas in Thailand, especially the history of left-wing ideas and radical intellectuals since the 60s of the 20th century.
In 1983, Reynolds and Lisa Kong collaborated on the article "Marxism in Thai Historical Studies", which traced the development of left-wing ideas represented by Marxism in Thailand for more than three decades after the end of World War II, the genealogy of radical intellectuals who challenged military dictatorship and conservatism, and the debate over the formation of Thai society. The essay is a seminal work that restores this ideological struggle to the social context of modern Thailand, directly linking literary and historical studies under the influence of left-wing ideas to the radical political movement that culminated after October 14, 1973. Among these radical intellectuals and their rhetoric, Jit Phumisak and his 1957 first book, The True Face of the Sadina System in Thailand Today (hereinafter referred to as "The True Face") stand out. This essay also served as the analytical framework for Reynolds' later monograph, Radical Discourse in Thailand: The True Face of the Thai Sadina System (this book, hereinafter referred to as "Radical Discourse"), in which he took Ji Pumisa and The True Face from the group portrait and placed it in the center stage. In fact, Reynolds' interest in episodes began as early as the 70s of the 20th century. Reynolds consistently showed sympathy for maverick thinkers and intellectuals, and his earliest published articles were not on the history of religion, but on a man named K. K. S. R. Gula S. R. Kulap) d. was a scholar of commoner origin, who, by virtue of his own efforts and talents, entered the field of knowledge (mainly the field of history) previously monopolized by the aristocracy, and was therefore suppressed, belittled and even vilified by the royal power and the nobility. Ji Pumisa and Gula are characters in the same sequence, also from humble origins but brilliant in challenging the intellectual authority of the authorities, and are therefore regarded as beasts by those in power, and arrested and prosecuted for sedition, contempt of the monarchy, or communism.

Brief description of the content
Siam is present-day Thailand, and the author still uses the term "Siam" for research purposes. Originally published in 2014 by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Cornell University Press, this 10-essay collection synthesizes Benedict Anderson's essays, reviews, and essays on Thailand studies by year and theme. One of them is an introduction written by others for the book, and compared to advertising slogans and superficial praises, this introduction profoundly reveals the process of Professor Anderson's Siamese research, and serves as an outline for reading the book. The remaining nine are articles by Professor Anderson on Siamese studies, not only academic papers, but also some introductions, film reviews, etc. written by authors, which are more than 40 years old, which is very useful and highly readable for longitudinal understanding of Thailand's social development after the 60s of the 20th century. For example, the first article, "A Study of the Thai State: The Current Status of Thai Studies Research", was first published in 1978, and although it was published 40 years ago, it is still a must-read article in modern Thai political studies today.

Brief description of the content
The purpose of this book is to clarify the beginning and end of the Yuan and Ming dynasties' conquest of Annam. In the history of Southeast Asian countries, the ancient history of Vietnam (i.e. Annam history) is one of the important research topics. The earliest record of Annan in history begins with its dealings with China. Annan has been subject to China for more than a thousand years since Emperor Wu of Han conquered Annam. Even after Annan became an independent state, it was subject to several conquests by various Chinese dynasties. Compared with Korea and Japan, which were also influenced by Chinese culture, Annan has closer political relations with China. Compared with the Song and Qing dynasties to Annam, the Yuan and Ming dynasties conquered Annam on a larger scale and preserved rich historical materials.

Brief description of the content
This book is the first general history to be written in Latin Chinese and compiled using new historiography. When Chen Chung-jin was in charge of the "Subjects" section of the Toyo Magazine, he wrote the chapter "History of the South" at the elementary school level, which was serialized from the 43rd issue in March 1914 and collected as "Sơ học An Nam sử lược" (Beginner Annam Shiluo) in 1917. In October 1919, Chen Chongjin wrote a foreword in Hanoi, and in 1920 it was renamed "General History of Vietnam" and published, which is simple and fascinating, and is Tran Chung-kin's masterpiece in the field of Vietnamese historiography. Since its publication, it has always been regarded as a documentary and distinctive style of letter history, and is a masterpiece of Vietnamese historiography. The "General History of Vietnam" is a huge scale and 600 pages, which can be called a huge work, starting from the ancient legend period of Hong Pang (2879-258 BC), and in 1902, during the French colonial period in the early 20th century. The content of the book is concise and systematic, with appropriate details and no major historical details omitted.
