Ontology of Rice

| Reflections on the Ontology of Rice Article by Jane R. Hanks from 1960 concerning a small rice-growing community in central Thailand, which has developed rituals associated with every step of growing the grain. Such rituals are monopolized by women, while the men do ordinary field work and rites, thus leaving women to assume such important roles. Thai people believe that living things contain a khwan, or spirit, which is indestructible. Initially sustained by breast milk from women, the khwan is then sustained by rice. Farmers believe that the whole of nature is protected by female guardian spirits. | Typescript

Entourage in Southern Thailand

| A pyramidal patronage system exists throughout much of Southeast Asia, in which the power of the leader to attract acolytes depends on individual relationships. Politicians gain acolytes through deals they make in return for co-operation. An acolyte of one leader may in turn become a leader of his own personal group.Social solidarity runs along hierarchic lines rather than in the typically layered group of equals. The poor seek protection from the well-placed, while the wealthy grow richer by investing in people rather than by amassing impersonal wealth. The entourage system thus appears as the cardinal principle for understanding social behavior. | Typescript

The Overseas Chinese in Southern Asia

| Many of the overseas Chinese who have emigrated to Southeast Asia married and settled down in the new country, only perhaps returning to China towards to end of their lives. With emigration a typically male phenomenon, many Chinese emigrants have married local women, thereby expediting assimilation. However, a combination of Chinese pride in their ancient culture and hostility among the indigenous inhabitants has meant that assimilation has not always been smooth, and this problem has become acute with the rise of nationalism. As a result, many overseas Chinese, even several generations down the line, still retain their Chinese customs and behavior. The economic role of the overseas Chinese is the key to their political importance, filling as they do the gap between the indigenous high government officials and native peasants. The oldest group of overseas Chinese are the Yunnanese Chinese Muslims known as “Haw”. Yunnanese Chinese, a remnant of the Kuomintang army, now live in the northern border region of Thailand. | Typescript
