Voices from the Thai Countryside cover

This work offers glimpses of village life during a tumultuous period of Thai history.Set in northern Thailand during the mid-1970s, the stories in this collection capture a period of dramatic social and economic change. Amidst a setting of marketplaces and paddyfields, lemon trees and leaf-roofed houses, these vignettes offer revealing insights into the daily lives of ordinary villagers and hillspeople struggling to survive.

[These] stories provide a good deal of accurate information on a period of Thai history that is little known in the West. - Susan Kepner, Crossroads
