If you want to discover the captivating history of Thailand, then keep reading...
Did you know that Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that a European power has not colonized?
Thailand has seen its fair share of struggles. Today, the Thai government struggles to find its place in the world, oscillating between democracy and authoritarian regimes. Even though its name translates to "Land of the Free," it seems the country has some trouble living up to that name. This captivating guide to the Thai people and their history details the interesting events that led the country to where it is today. In this book, you will learn about the country's rich history, from when the first people settled the land hundreds of thousands of years ago to its modern-day role in the world. Although Thailand's prehistory and early rulers are discussed in the book, the book focuses more on Thailand's history after 1238, as this was the year the people broke free of the oppressive Khmer rule and adopted the name "Thai," which means "Free."
Thailand was greatly influenced by the Western nations, which was one reason why a European power never conquered it. However, despite embracing Western ideas and intertwining them with their own culture, Thailand has not followed in the West's footsteps when it comes to governing, as the country has had only brief periods of true democracy. Learn how a country whose history is marked mostly by absolute monarchies and military dictatorships prides itself on its freedom.
In this book, you will discover:
Thailand's prehistory and early rulers
The liberation from the Khmer Empire
Thailand's golden age under the Sukhothai
The powerful Ayutthaya Kingdom
The Chakri dynasty, which still rules Thailand today
20th-century coups and rebellions
And much more

Описание:
Racing for the People is a light-hearted story about a serious time that captures the lives of Olympic runners and civil rights activists, Tommie Smith and John Carlos. They made history on October 16, 1968, by raising their fists for racial equality to a world audience.
Risking their lives, reputations, and Olympic medals, they took a stand for justice. But their activism didn't start there. Smith and Carlos had humble beginnings and though their outstanding athleticism as youths led them to the track, their tenacity and passion for social justice moved them to run for far more than personal accolades.
Smith and Carlos are part of a long history of Black activists. Though their names are not as widely publicized as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks, their message is just as strong, and their stance for justice for all continues to serve as inspiration to the Black activist athletes of today.
Though mainly aimed at ages 6 to 12, Racing for the People, is relevant for all readers young and old, featuring strong Black figures who made a difference locally and globally. Readers will walk away inspired to stand for justice, just like the two Olympic heroes. It is an ideal book for school libraries, families, and children seeking to be anti-racist and advocate for social justice.
