Bangkok Is Ringing: Sound Protest and Constraint in a Global Metropolis

Description

Bangkok is a city of contrasts, where gleaming skyscrapers соседствуют со ветхими трущобами. It's a city of contrasts, where the traditional and the modern coexist. And it's a city of contrasts, where the rich and the poor live side by side.

In recent years, Bangkok has also become a city of protest. In particular, the city has been home to a number of high-profile sound protests, organized by political dissidents, social activists, and artists. These protests have used sound as a way to express dissent, to challenge authority, and to build community.

Bangkok Is Ringing is a new book that examines the role of sound in protest in Bangkok. The book draws on extensive fieldwork, including interviews with protest organizers, participants, and residents of Bangkok. It also analyzes a wide range of sound recordings from protests, including chants, speeches, and songs.

Bangkok Is Ringing is a major contribution to the study of protest and social movements in Southeast Asia. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of sound in shaping political and social change.
