Reviews

Steven A. Leibo, the author of The World Today Series: East and Southeast Asia, is uniquely qualified to undertake this work, which is in its 44th year of publication. Dr. Leibo not only has the breadth of knowledge about both East and Southeast Asian history and culture through his training and professional career -- but he is an actively engaged global scholar who researches and understands contemporary issues. This publication is an amazing resource for understanding the historical, cultural and social context of this dynamic region, and its lively style makes it accessible to both students and the more general public. It paints in the broadest brushstrokes the regional issues alongside in-depth analyses of all countries in the region. The more thematic areas such as the economy, role of religion, and the role of women allow for key comparisons to be made and the understanding of the individuality of each country and its cultures. Deftly updated annually, this is a fundamental book for consideration whether in the classroom or one's library. -- Levine, Marilyn A.
