Why, Benedict Anderson once asked, did Javanese become Indonesian in 1945 whereas the Vietnamese balked at becoming Indochinese?In this classic study, Goscha shows that Vietnamese of all political colours came remarkably close to building a modern national identity based on the colonial model of Indochina while Lao and Cambodian nationalists rejected this precisely because it represented a Vietnamese entity.First published in 1995, the revised edition of this remarkable study is augmented with new material by the author and a foreword by Eric Jennings.

First published in 1975, B.J. Terwiel's Monks and Magic remains a widely cited text.This is an absorbing study of Buddhism as practised at that time in a community in rural Central Thailand. It describes how esoteric spells and magical diagrams were the main interest of children and adolescents but full ritual knowledge was obtained in adulthood and tempered by life experiences. As death approaches, the Buddhist world-view stimulates merit-making.This fourth edition of the work is a major revision that updates the original text, adds new material and offers a contemporary perspective on the original study.
