19 maggio 2010: l'esercito thailandese dispiega carri armati, cecchini e armi da guerra per disperdere le migliaia di Camicie rosse che avevano occupato il centro economico e commerciale di Bangkok, chiedendo elezioni democratiche e di porre fine alla disuguaglianza sociale. Fondamentale il ruolo dei conducenti di mototaxi, che filtrano e bloccano la mobilità nell'area, sfidando l'egemonia di Stato. Quattro anni dopo, lo stesso generale dell'esercito che aveva guidato l'attacco sale al governo con un colpo di Stato, senza alcuna opposizione. Come può il potere mostrarsi così fragile ed esposto nel 2010 e così risoluto appena quattro anni più tardi? Attraverso uno studio etnografico sui conducenti di mototaxi di Bangkok, Claudio Sopranzetti presenta una lucida analisi del potere e della sua fragilità.
