Sisters of Isan
- By: Beesey, Allan
Sisters of Isan: one woman's journey on the margins as the Kingdom of Thailand prospers and stumbles, traces a family in Sisaket back to the beginning
of the 20th century and then explores the profound changes over the past 50 years. By the beginning of the 20th century, Lao people west of the Mekong
River belong to Siam while to the east and north they remain part of French Indochina. Grandmother was born in 1900 and then the mother born in the 1930s.
Wan marries and with her husband begins raising a family in the 1960s. The birth of the second sister, Pon in 1971, is where the storyline of the Sisters begins. At 13-years-old Pon is migrating to the big city to join her sister. It is not long before she is on her own, seeking to survive and support her family. The narrative on the Sisaket family covers 50 years, shifting between rural and urban landscapes.
Core cultural beliefs persist amidst profound social change during the shift from subsistence farming to the market economy. The 21st century ushers in more change, and while inequalities persist there are increasing opportunities for people on the margins, but not without a struggle.
