New in the series Critical Dialogues in Southeast Asian Studies:

KNOWING SOUTHEAST ASIAN SUBJECTS
Edited by Laurie J. Sears
(University of Washington Press, July 2007, $30 paperback)

The essays presented here ask how the rising preponderance of
scholarship from Southeast Asia is de-centering Southeast
Asian area studies in the United States.  Contributions from
the perspectives of history, anthropology, cultural studies,
political theory, and libraries pose questions ranging from
how a concern with postcolonial and feminist questions of
identity might reorient the field, to how anthropological work
on civil society and Islam in Southeast Asia provides an
opportunity for comparative political theorists to develop
more sophisticated analytic approaches.

Laurie J. Sears is professor of history at the University of
Washington. The other contributors are Carlo Bonura, George
Dutton, Judith A. N. Henchy, Ariel Heryanto, and Celia Lowe.
