Intended for those who are tasked with bringing Southeast Asia letters into the classroom, this book spreads the word about Southeast Asian literatures. The essays published here were first presented at the 1997 International Conference on Southeast Asian Literatures organized by the Department of English and comparative Literature, University of the Philippines Diliman. Written by prominent scholars from Southeast Asia, the essays are informed by a desire to situate literature in its own Southeast Asian context. Reading them, we are reading strategies that unmake the images of a Southeast Asia fabricated by those outside it. (Source: Back Cover)
