วิกฤติความขัดแย้ง 3 จังหวัดชายแดนใต้ ภาค 2 (ดร.สมปอง ดำแดง/อินทรเกียรติ รอดประดิษฐ์)

‘Delve into the complex and often tragic narrative of Southern Thailand

with Dr. Sompong Daney Dumdeang’s insightful and deeply personal

account, this book offers a penetrating analysis of the decades-long unrest

plaguing Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, and surrounding areas.

Driven by the brutal murder of his own brother, Pipat Dumdeang–a

dedicated headmaster and civil servant caught in the crossfire–Dr.

Dumdeang embarks on a quest to uncover the true roots of the conflict.

This isn’t merely a historical overview; it’s a critical examination of how

historical grievances, cultural alienation, and flawed government policies,

particularly during the Thaksin Shinawatra administration, have fueled a

cycle of violence and distrust.

More than just a historical record, this book is a powerful call to action. It

champions the cause of the Malay Muslim population, highlighting their

struggle to maintain their distinct identity amidst assimilation policies, and

underscores the urgent need for equitable governance, economic opportunity,

and culturally sensitive education.

‘Crisis of Political and Religious Conflict in Southern Thailand’ is an

essential read for anyone seeking to understand the deep-seated issues of

identity, religion, and politics in this troubled region, and for those commited

to finding a path toward lasting peace and dignity for all.
