Description

Preview
Current critical thinking on regions outside the West appear to be motivated by the limitations of Western discourse in comprehending the variation of human experiences and paths of modernity. This book represents part of the effort to decentre and diversify the future of area studies in the current politics of knowledge production. It presents dilemmas encountered by Southeast Asian intellectuals and their ethical recourse as they respond to the critique of area studies and political-economic and cultural reconfigurations around them.
