'The idea of Southeast Asia as a cultural "crossroads'"has a long history. This edited volume brings the crossroads leitmotif right up to the present in an eclectic collection of papers in which most scholars of contemporary social and cultural change in Southeast Asia will find rich rewards.' Jonathan Rigg, University of Durham, UK 'Historically Southeast Asia has often been portrayed as a region of "fragmented identity" between the two larger cultural realms of East Asia and the Indian sub-continent. This excellent collection of essays explores how Southeast Asian nations and people are reshaping their identity in the face of global regional and local influences by taking control of their diverse identities through the rewriting of the heritage in the landscapes of post modernism.' Terry McGee, University of British Columbia, Canada
