Reviewing case studies of Tai-speaking peoples, including the Thai of Thailand, the Lao of Laos, the Shan of Burma, and the Dai of southern China, Walker (Australian National U., Australia) seeks to upset the common perception that "community" is only associated with traditional village solidarity and is undermined by "modernity." He describes how communal sentiments are actively created by Tai-speaking groups in contexts of state incorporation, market penetration, globalization, and population mobility.
