| Summary |
"This text is a study of ethnicity in the region as a whole, allowing the contributors to build on the ideas developed for each country to form broader themes applicable more generally to East and Southeast Asia as a whole. With maps of all countries, and suggestions for further reading, this illustrated textbook is essential reading for all students studying the communities of East and Southeast Asia, as well as a valuable resource for specialists in the area."--BOOK JACKET |
