Skillfully combining journalism with travel writing, a veteran reporter draws on 30 years of reporting in Asia to shed light on the rapidly changing cities of Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Hanoi, and Saigon. The history, people, religions, and economies of each burgeoning city are discussed, as well as how the particular dynamic make-up of each coexists and clashes with the intrusions of a larger national identity. Also included are measured insights about the growing presence of Islamic fundamentalism in Southeastern Asia.
