Drawing on 30 years of experience teaching Southeast Asian sociology in the UK, King (Southeast Asian studies, U. of Leeds, UK) notes that teachers and students with a scholarly interest in Southeast Asia lack a user-friendly, introductory text to the sociology of the region. King hopes to fill the gap with this introductory examination of the sociology of change and development in the region and the important sociological and political economy writings, which also considers recent studies of the processes and character of modernization and globalization, and local responses to these wider forces of change. Topics addressed include the colonial encounter, social class, status and the state, ethnicity and identity, patronage and corruption, gender and work, urbanization and Asian values. Suitable as both an undergraduate text and as a reference work for graduates and researchers in need of a general book on the subject. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
