Reynolds, who inspired these essays. Conceived as a tribute to an innovative scholar, dedicated teacher, and generous colleague, it is this volume''s ambition to make a concerted intervention on Thai historiographyand Thai studies more generallyby pursuing in new directions ideas that figure prominently in Reynolds''s scholarship. The writings gathered here revolve around two prominent themes in Reynolds''s scholarship: the nexus of historiography and power, and Thai political and business culturesoften so intertwined as to be difficult to separate. The chapters examine different types of historical texts, Thai political discourse and political culture, and the media production of consumer culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Chris Baker; Patrick Jory, University of Queensland, Brisbane; Tamara Loos, Cornell University; Yoshinori Nishizaki, National University of Singapore; James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A Sarong for Clio offers bold explorations into several critical areas of Thai studies.
