Abstract
Scholarship about Muslims in Thailand has rightly maintained that Thai Islam has enjoyed a long and vibrant tradition, and that the country has been home to a wide variety of representations of Muslim identity. Predictably, Muslim heterogeneity has also generated multifarious patterns of dissonance and contestations. While differences between the state and Muslim society, as well as between Malay and Thai identities, have sparked considerable press and academic coverage of late, this paper focuses on contestations within Thailand's Malay minority community as it seeks to negotiate identity and authenticity in the southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat.
