Being Modern in Bali: Image and Change (Yale Southeast Asia Studies Monograph Series No. 43)

A collection of eight essays organized around the theme of perceptions of modernity and tradition in Bali ranging from the nineteenth century to the present day. They demonstrate the ongoing role of debates about modernity and tradition in Southeast Asia, particularly the way these debates relate to issues of national and ethnic identity. The essays also provide a link between the increasing complexity and sophistication of debates within Bali studies to wider developments in the study of Southeast Asia.

Ly Y and his wife Chantra survived; their first-born son, Prasat, age 18 months, did not. The child died during the forced march from Phnom Penh after their family and the city's inhabitants were driven out by the Khmer Rouge in 1975. The evacuees and hundreds of thousands of others ended up in labor camps where most perished. This is a rare, first-person account of four harrowing years, mostly tragic, sometimes touching, and sometimes even humorous.

Across decades of fieldwork in the Philippines, Harold C. Conklin wrote classic papers for anthropologists working everywhere. This book gathers a significant sample of his often-cited, but widely dispersed publications on fieldwork and analytic methods applied to a wide range of topics. The writings are as startlingly impressive now as when first published. Driven by a desire to record, represent, and preserve how the Hanunóo and Ifugao worked, talked, thought, and played, Conklin presents the details of agricultural and botanical knowledge, spatial orientation, kinship, verbal play, poetry, and music. His findings subtly address contemporary debates and brilliantly display the respect, rigor, and responsibility with which ethnographers should study cultural phenomena.
