The more populous parts of the upper<br \/>\nsouth with a Thai-Buddhist majority have been largely overlooked. In<br \/>\nrecent decades the south\u2019s old Buddhist heartland has witnessed a high<br \/>\nlevel of cultural and religious dynamism. This region has given birth to<br \/>\nan influential new academic field of southern Thai studies and a<br \/>\ndistinctive southern Thai literature. These factors have contributed to<br \/>\nthe hardening of a southern Thai Buddhist identity.
