[Tlc] Re: Historian wants country called 'Siam'

[Michael Jerryson]

In Craig Reynold's new book, Seditious Histories, on page 275 (endnote #2) he references Yoneo Ishii for pointing out that "sayam was coined during Mongkut's reign and is thus as colored by political considerations as the country's naming in 1939 or 1948."

warmly,

michael
