Between Hills and Plains: Power and Practice in Socio-Religious Dynamics among Karen

Hayami Yoko

In this study, the author suggests that the Karen in northwestern Thailand are located ‘betwixt’ and ‘between’ the perepheries and the mainstream of the modern nation-state. It demonstrates how the Karen actively adopt new religious practices in ways that enable them to maintain communal boundaries and cultural particularity, at the same time as they integratethemselves into the broader stream of Thai society.
