| Abstract: | Sociocultural research on prisons often takes the prison as a site of government control of resistance to the power of the state. This paper looks at the prison as a site of construction of the idea of nation. It tells the stories of Shan ethnic nationals from Burma who crossed the border to seek their fortune in Thailand but ended up in Thai prisons for drug-related crimes. The paper links the prison with the notion of displacement, trying to understand how and to what extent Shan prisoners in Thailand engage in the construction of the idea of a "Shan" nation. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. |
