- W2488104841 abstract "Pre-colonial histories in Southeast Asia are generally dependent on a very limited number of written sources. Most information originates from the elites among dominant ethnic groups or Westerners. These centralized histories are frequently uncritically treated as the ‘truth.’ This is especially true in countries like Laos, where historical documents are rare. But different versions of widely accepted histories also exist, and these often-contested his tories remain prominent in the minds of people from different ethnic groups. This paper demonstrates the contested nature of history in Laos and the importance of ethnicity in social memory, using a well-known historical event that occurred in southern Laos—the Ay Sa Rebellion of the early nineteenth century. Lao, Siamese, and Western versions of the history of this rebellion are reviewed, followed by oral histories obtained from ethnic Brao people who maintain memories of the events that transpired. I hope to demonstrate the importance of considering ethnicity in relation to histories, and to encourage others to investigate alternative versions of histories in Laos. In Southeast Asia, generally accepted histories from the pre-colonial era are largely dependent on the very few written sources available, most originating from elites among the dominant ethnic groups and Westerners or other travelers who happened to pass through particular areas. In most cases, these histories are not seriously scrutinized, and are frequently accepted as being close to what actually happened. This is particularly the case in countries like Laos where written records from the past are few and far between. However, the reality is that people from various ethnic groups contest these mainstream histories. Paul Ricoeur (1978), in line with the thinking of Michel Foucault, argued that there is no lived reality that is not affected or mediated in some way by ideology. In other words, there is no social space that is free from the subtle and sometimes not so subtle influences of" @default.
