Asian Communication Handbook 2003

The chronic outbreak of political violence in the Malay-Muslim dominated region of southernmost Thailand which is contiguous to Malaysia tends to create the impression that Islam and Buddhism have difficulties co-existing, at least in that part of the kingdom. This volume, which represents a collection of articles written by Thai and foreign scholars from different backgrounds encompassing the disciplines of history, anthropology, philosophy and political science, explores how Buddhist-Muslim relations in Thailand have actually been observed and negotiated on the ground. the book will focus on issues of identity, dialogue, accomodation, co-existence and conflict in the context of Buddhist-Muslim relations in Thailand.Goonasekera, Anura is the author of 'Asian Communication Handbook 2003' with ISBN 9789812102300 and ISBN 9812102302.
