Bantorn Ondam an4 Stephen Teo, eds., Organizing Experience from Thailand (CCA URM RURAL CONCERNS SERIES, No. 1, · Christian Conference of Asia-Urban Rural Mission, Hongkong, 1983) 32 pages. This small book is a record ~f the experience in organizing people according to C.O. or Comm~nity Organization approach. The author tells us al:out his direct experience in the village where he was born. For, when be graduated from a university in Bangkok, he went back to his home and started his work as a community organizer. The coming to power oftbe Thanin Government made his work difficult; even while living as a farmer be was suspected of being a communist. But gradually, he could win over that suspicion. In 1977, there was a big drought. The villagers had much to suffer from lack of rice, and the rice in the market was very expensive. He organized the villagers to buy cheaper rice from the government. To do this, they bad to pass through all the boring and complicated procedures in the government office. The villagers in that area were partly Catholics and partly Buddhists. The Catholic Church there with some of its leading members had founded a credit union, but it mostly served the rich farmers, that was why they had very few members. The Buddhist temple was not very active, and the monks, who were conservative, had some connections with the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC). Later, he organized villagers through one of the two ways which was allowed . . and supported by the government. Choosing to form the organization as the Farmers' Association, he could have more strength to form a bigger group of farmers. The main purpose was to increase agricultural products. They grew the second crop, and also organized themselves to buy cheaper fertilizer from the government. This is the story of the participation of the author hi the village. In the following three chapters, the author is dealing with structure analysis which is very famous among C.O. (Community Organizers) analysts. These three chapters are : Reaction From the Establishment, Breakdown of ·Community Structures, and Anti-People Forces in Action. In this analysis, we have the poor farmers with an organizer on the one side, and the rich farmers with the merchants, the bureaucrats, and the religious personnels on the other side. It is very true that the exploitation and oppression of the rural poor are very serious. But the organizing strategy in this book seems to stress too much the conflicts between the two factions. Little attention has been given to the common ground by which we can include people from other factions in order to gain strength towards the common good. The dividing line between factions is drawn so rigidly that the chance to see the issue in the wider context is narrowed down. 234
REVIEWS 235 The motive used in drawing the villagers together emphasizes too much the increasing of yields. By so doing, the village's economy would fall deeper into the market-oriented economy. And the use of higher technology, not being aware that there are alternatives such as appropriate technology, would draw the village deeper into the global scale exploitation organized by multi-national corporations. The C.O. approach helps the people to stand on their own feet and realize their own potentiality. Still, little attention has been paid to cultural identity, or the participation of the people in interpreting the meaning of their lives, which includes the meaning of their present struggle for a better society. If the Organizer was more aware of this dimension, he could add more to his work-strength and colors that will enliven the people's movement. However, I find the book very useful in initiating further discussions about the C.O. approach. Thai Inter-religious Commission for Development, Bangkok Wisit Wangwinyoo
