Drawing on critical theory and post-modernism, this book argues for a new strategy for writing about the social and cultural experiences of living in modern Southeast Asian states. The contributors- many of whom work in universities in the region - question the processes of cultural transformation under conditions of globalization and rapid economic and political change.
