ARTS OF SOUTH EAST ASIA
The pagodas of Burma; the temples of Angkor; the great Buddhist monuments of Borobudur - these achievements of powerful courts and rulers were part of a broad artistic tradition including textiles; applied arts; vernacular architecture and village crafts. Covering Cambodia; Vietnam; Thailand; Malaysia; Indonesia; Burma and the Philippines; Dr Fiona Kerlogue examines the roots and development of the arts of this distinctive region from prehistory to the present day. Broadly chronological; the book traces the different religions that have shaped the region's historic cultures - Hinduism; Buddhism; Islam and Christianity - finishing with an exploration of the arts of the post-colonial period. With nearly 200 illustrations; over 100 in colour; a glossary of names and places and cues to further reading; the book is a comprehensive introduction to the arts and crafts of Southeast Asia. It is ideally suited to students; travellers and expatriates and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the region.
