One of the regions where this turn has been most pronounced<br \/>\nhas been in southern Thailand. Studies of the south have tended to focus<br \/>\non the border provinces, its Malay Muslim community, and the<br \/>\nlong-running separatist movement. 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. Politicians and<br \/>\nactivists from the south have played a prominent role in Thailand\u2019s<br \/>\non-going political crisis. This article explores the rise of<br \/>\nconservative radicalism in southern Thailand\u2019s Buddhist heartland with<br \/>\nreference to the roles of southern academics, writers, poets, activists,<br \/>\nand politicians over the last half century. It offers a regional case<br \/>\nstudy of the roots of Thailand\u2019s political crisis as well as the rise of<br \/>\nBuddhist radicalism in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\nPatrick Jory teaches Southeast Asian History at the University of<br \/>\nQueensland.
