Map, xvi + 78 pages and over 60 pages of colour photographic plates covering the recent history of street protests.
The book also describes the subsequent rise of the Red Shirt Movement to become a social mass movement. The relatively rare public appearances of the PAD in the same period are also covered, including the lavish celebrations accompanying the founding of their political party.
Nick Nostitz continues to follow closely the present era of colour movements in Thailand, in both text and photo. This volume resumes where the first volume of this work — Thailand's crisis of identity — ended. The uprising of the Red Shirts in spring 2010 will be covered in a third volume, currently in preparation." (Publisher's description).
