Kenneth on His Books

Books

Kenneth speaks of the three books he has written. All of them were "primary studies" that had never been made before. Siam in Transition was a seminal study that all subsequent studies had to begin with, "whether they liked it or not." His second book, The Chinese in Thailand, was the first book in the English language on the Chinese in Southeast Asia. The third book was Southeast Asia; Crossroad of Religions, and this also was a first. It has never been replaced by anything with the same approach.
