N EW NEW TITLE Belittled Citizens The Cultural Politics of Childhood on Bangkoks Margins Giuseppe Bolotta An original, well-crafted ethnography of marginalized children in Bangkok, the first of its kind. Demonstrates that childhood is best understood in Thailand as a political category. Offers startling new insights into how ideas of parenthood and infantilization shape Thai political culture. Rich in ethnographic detail, this fascinating, engaging and illuminating study explores the daily lives, constraints, and social worlds of children born in the slums of Bangkok, and their ways of defining themselves in relation to a range of governing technologies, state and non-state actors, and broad cultural politics. It does so by interrogating the layered meanings of childhood in slums, schools, temples, NGOs, aid organisations, as well as social media. Giuseppe Bolottas analysis employs childhood as a prism to make sense of broader socio-political, religious, and economic transformations in Thai society. By examining the competition between different Thai and foreign actors to define and control the world-view formed by these children, he demonstrates how Bangkok slums are political arenas within which local, national and global social forces and interests converge and clash. At the same time, this analysis highlights the roles played by Bangkoks poor children in processes of social change, considering how young peoples efforts to make sense of themselves in an era of authoritarian rule reflect the broader tensions facing the urban poor in this complex moment of Thai history. Slums, children, anthropology, childhood studies, political economy, urban poverty, ethnonationalism, education, citizenship, religion, NGOs, agency, selfhood, political activism Thailand, Bangkok Critical acclaim: This splendidly original and meticulously docu mented exploration of the constricted life chances of Bangkoks slum children illuminates the problems of youth and class in a world shaped by karmic concepts of destiny and hierarchy. Gracefully written and resonant with compassionate insight, it deserves a wide readership. Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University, author of Siege of the Spirits About the author: Giuseppe Bolotta is Assistant Professor Southeast Asian Studies at the Università CaFoscari Venezia. His research interests focus on the history and cultural politics of childhood and youth in Thailand; development, religion, and humanitarianism in Southeast Asia; transnational governance of childhood; and the politics of childrens rights in the Global South.
