摘要

摘要本文考察了泰国少数民族的建构，从理论和实践两个方面对其自然性提出质疑。调查泰国南部马来穆斯林少数民族的困境，可以显示少数民族在泰国国家权力建设中的核心地位。本文认为，暹罗对巴塔尼苏丹国的吞并需要进行修订，将其马来穆斯林臣民纳入现代泰国历史的中心和整体。事实上，考虑到王国倾向于用脆弱的比喻来制造团结和爱国主义，马来穆斯林实际上不是处于边缘，而是泰国民族主义的关键问题之一，它为泰国最南部地区继续行使国家权力和暴力提供了借口。泰国最南部的马来穆斯林开始扪心自问，他们是否足够泰国人。

Can the Malay Muslims be Thai enough in Thailand’s far South?

Abstract This essay examines the construction of minorities in Thailand, questioning its naturalness, both theoretically and practically. Investigating the plight of Malay Muslim minorities in Thailand’s far south can show how minorities are central to the construction of state power in Thailand. This article argues that Siam’s annexation of the Sultanate of Patani requires a revision that brings its Malay Muslim subjects centrally and integrally into the history of modern Thailand. Indeed, given the Kingdom’s propensity to use the trope of fragility to manufacture unity and patriotism, the Malay Muslims are in fact not at the margins but one of the key problematics for Thai nationalism, one that provides a pretext for the continuing exercise of state power and violence in Thailand’s far south. The Malay Muslims in Thailand’s far south are led to ask themselves whether they can be Thai enough.

期刊介绍： Asian Anthropology seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological research on Asia to a global audience. Until recently, anthropologists writing on a range of Asian topics in English but seeking a global audience have had to depend largely on Western-based journals to publish their works. Given the increasing number of indigenous anthropologists and anthropologists based in Asia, as well as the increasing interest in Asia among anthropologists everywhere, it is important to have an anthropology journal that is refereed on a global basis but that is editorially Asian-based. Asian Anthropology is editorially based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, but welcomes contributions from anthropologists and anthropology-related scholars throughout the world with an interest in Asia, especially East Asia as well as Southeast and South Asia. While the language of the journal is English, we also seek original works translated into English, which will facilitate greater participation and scholarly exchange. The journal will provide a forum for anthropologists working on Asia, in the broadest sense of the term "Asia". We seek your general support through submissions, subscriptions, and comments.
