Förbättrade beskrivningar från Syndetics:

Written for both interested laymen and specialists, this book explores how modern, urban Southeast Asians view and manage their social life. By comparing the ways they live with their religious representations, with intimate and more distant others, and with their rapidly changing environment, the author demonstrates the marked similarities in the perception of individual and society in three civilizations along the inner littoral of Southeast Asia, irrespective of the great religious diversity that appears to characterize the region at first glance.

Major Ideas -- Religious syncretism or Southeast Asian religion? -- Power and goodness in Thai symbolic representations -- The Javanist perspective -- Filipino religiosity as an expression of family relationships -- Individual and society in modern Thai and Javanese Indonesian literature -- Everyday Life -- Basic principles of everyday life -- How to be a mother in Thailand -- Living with conflict among Javanese and Tagalog Filipinos -- Status, manners and conscience in Yogyakarta -- A scrutiny of family and gender -- Thai and Javanese ideas about the individual and society -- Dynamics of Culture -- Changing ideas in a changing environment -- The Thai opening up to the world -- Contemporary cultural dynamics in Java -- The cultural process of lowland Christian Filipino society -- The development of political culture -- Transformations of democracy and human rights -- The common cultural construction of social life.
