Book Reviews
The Archaeology of the Mons of
Dvaravati is an English translation of
a classic text published in 1959, one
known to every student of the art
history of Thailand but more frequently
consulted than read and, when read,
seldom done with pleasure.
The
production of a translation from the
French by Joyanto K. Sen is an occasion
for gratitude and for hope that it will
stimulate a new generation of scholars
to better our understanding of 1stmillennium

Dress, Textiles, and Identity of the Black Tai of Loei Province, Northeast Thailand examines the contemporary role of traditional and tradition-based Black Tai textiles and dress as material and symbolic representations of Black Tai ethnic and socio-cultural identity. The analysis of textiles and ethnic dress reveals that dress and textiles serve a crucial role in ethnic and cultural continuity among the Black Tai peoples. Although a number of types of traditional textiles have been lost due to acculturation and commercialization, textiles continue to figure prominently in the religious beliefs and practices of the Tai Dam as well as serving as markers of status, functioning to promote cultural and social cohesion, and more recently serving as a means of economic development.
