Academic calls for press boycott to protest its cancellation of book on Thailand


 
An academic has urged researchers to avoid making submissions to the National University of Singapore (NUS) Press after it canceled his contract to publish a book that was critical of the Thai monarchy.
Coup, King, Crisis: A Critical Interregnum in Thailand, edited by Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a prominent overseas Thai critic, is a collection that examines Thailand’s political transition from 2014 to 2019, through a series of essays by 14 Asian studies scholars.
It had been due to be published by NUS Press, but the publisher reversed course in March 2020. Criticism of the monarchy is illegal in Thailand because of lèse-majesté laws. ....

More than a hundred scholars and academics have signed an open letter accusing the National University of Singapore (NUS) Press of bowing to political pressure after it last year withdrew abruptly from publication of a volume of essays touching on sensitive aspects of Thai politics.
The book, “Coup, King, Crisis: A Critical Interregnum in Thailand,” was edited by the scholar Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a long-time critic of the Thai ruling establishment who has been living in exile in Japan since shortly after the military coup of May 2014.
The essays in the book, which has since been published as part of Yale University’s Southeast Asia Studies Monograph series, cast a critical eye on the period between the coup and the flawed election of March 2019. In particularly, it examines the sensitive royal transition from King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016 after 70 years on the throne, to his son Vajiralongkorn – an issue that can’t be openly discus ....

Asia Sentinel has a story about NUS Press being ordered – that’s the implication – to bin a book after taking through a production process to printing. Of course, the book is about the Thai monarchy, the dead king, and King Vajiralongkorn, and it is edited by Pavin Chachavalpongpun. This censorship would be remarkable for a proper university press, but that is not what NUS Press is. It is a press run by a state-dominated university in an authoritarian state. Academic freedom is not something that the university or the press uphold.
Because Asia Sentinel is often blocked in Thailand, here’s the full story, with just a couple of edits, by John Berthelsen: ....
