Tort, Custom, and Karma
Synopsis
David (law) and Jaruwan (Thai language, both State U. of New York-Buffalo) first conducted research in the Chiangmai region beginning in 1975 that yielded a 1978 book on law and society in Thailand. They returned in 1990, and much of this present work is concerned with how the role of law to injury cases had declined during the 15 year interval. They discuss Buajan's injury narrative, a history of globalizations in Chaingmai, state law and the law of sacred centers, injury practices in a transformed society, litigation, justice, and Ming's injury narrative.
