An unusual, enjoyable, thought-provoking and important book--
"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"
Kamala's book is a noteworthy, readable contribution to Buddhist
studies and belongs in every university library.-- "Religious
Studies Review"
What [Kamala] sets out to do, with magnificent success, is to use
the (auto)biographies of ascetic monks, her own interviews and
other conventional historical materials to reconstruct their
lifestyle, their gradual subsumption into the nationalist culture
of the Bangkok elite, and their final near-elimination through the
destruction of forests which were their main habitat.-- "Times
Literary Supplement"
