"Youth Culture and Identity in Northern Thailand examines how young people in urban
Chiang Mai construct an identity at the intersection of global capitalism, state ideologies
and local culture. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic research, the book explores
the impact of rapid urbanisation and modernisation on contemporary Thai youth, focusing
on conspicuous youth subcultures, drug use (especially methamphetamine use) and violent
youth gangs. Anjalee Cohen shows how young Thai people construct a specific youth
identity through consumerism and symbolic boundaries - in particular through enduring
rural/urban distinctions. The suggestion is that the formation of subcultures and
'deviant' youth practices, such as drug use and violence, are not necessarily forms
of resistance against the dominant culture, nor a pathological response to dramatic
social change, as typically understood in academic and public discourse. Rather, Cohen
argues that such practices are attempts to "fit in and stick out" in an anonymous
urban environment. This volume is relevant to scholars in Thai Studies, Southeast
Asian Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Urban Studies and Development Studies, particularly
those with an interest in youth, drugs, and gangs"
