"The world today is as furiously religious as it ever was.' This quote from Peter Berger now appears to be undisputed in the contemporary social and cultural sciences. A look around the globe reveals that modernization does not necessarily lead to a decline of religion, neither in society nor in the minds of individuals. Moreover, the multifaceted and divergent responses to modernization processes have significantly contributed to a critical reflection on the notion of a singular modernity, and as a result it has been suggested to speak of multiple, vernacular, alternative, or "other" modernities. Southeast Asia in particular presents a rich field of inquiry into the dynamics of these "modernities" that have produced and shaped a wide variety of religious phenomena. With case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam, these contributions reveal contemporary religious practices in Southeast Asia as thoroughly modern manifestations of uncertainties, moral disquiet and unequal rewards in the contemporary moment"

""Presents extensive new research findings on and new thinking about Southeast Asia in this interesting, richly diverse, but much understudied period. It examines the wide and well-developed trading networks, explores the different kinds of regimes and the nature of power and security, considers urban growth, international relations and the beginnings of European involvement with the region, and discusses religious factors, including the consolidation and Islam and the spread of Christianity. One key theme of the book is the consideration of how well-developed Southeast Asia was before the onset of European involvement, and, how, during the peak of the commercial boom in the 1500s and 1600s, many polities in Southeast Asia were not far behind Europe in terms of socio-economic progress and attainments"-- Provided by publisher."

"Kajian-kajian tentang pelacuran di Indonesia,seperti halnya penelitian gender dan perempuan pada umumnya, lebih terfokus pada masa abad ke-20. Kajian-kajian tersebut memfokus pada konteks lokal yang spesifik dan kurang melakukan perbandingan secara lebih luas. Tulisan ini mencoba memberikan dasar historis dan komparatif yang lebih mendalam untuk mendiskusikan pelacuran di Indonesia dengan menempatkannya dalam kerangka perdagangan global di Asia Tenggara antara abad ke-17 dan 18...[...] Penelitian akhir-akhir ini tentang gender dan seksualitas hampir selalu melihat 'perubahan' sebagai sebuah fenomena modern. Tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa asal mula pelacuran di Indonesia dapat dilacak ke masa sebelum abad ke-19, pada masa ketika urbanisasi, perbudakan, kehadiran orang-orang asing, dan pertumbuhan komersialisasi mentransformasikan masyarakat-masyarakat lokal. Sampai sekarang, perempuan miskin dan tidak terdidik masih sering melihat partisipasi dalam perdagangan seks sebagai satu-satunya cara untuk mempertahankan kelangsungan ekonomi mereka."
