Naming the WitchBy James SiegelStanford, Stanford University Press, 2006, 256pp. This book explores
the recent series of witchcraft accusations and killings in East Java, which
spread as the Suharto regime slipped into crisis and then fell. After many
years of ethnographic work focusing on the origin and nature of violence in Indonesia, the
author came to the conclusion that previous anthropological explanations of
witchcraft and magic were simply inadequate to the task of providing a full
understanding of the phenomena associated with sorcery, and particularly with
the ideas of powers connected with it. more info  Vietnamese Ceramics: A Separate TraditionBy John Stevenson and John Guy Chicago, Art Media Resources, 1997, 432 pp. 500 color illustrations more infoStatistical Yearbook for Asia and the Pacific 2007United NationsBangkok, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, 2008, 206 pp.more info
