This book draws together some of the most innovative studies in contemporary Southeast Asian research by social science scholars in the region. Themes include gender, popular culture, democratic struggle, climate change and environment, minority representation, wealth and marginalisation, labour migration, and ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Readers can glimpse, in a single volume, the nature and scope of the ground-breaking research being conducted across the diverse set of countries in the region. The authors have assembled a set of chapters that represent not only new insights, but new ways of knowing. The aim is to illuminate important steps in the decolonisation of social science research in Southeast Asia. This is an essential resource for all social science scholars and students who want to keep up with epistemological innovation across the Southeast Asian region.
