Includes Index ; Bibliography ASAA Southeast Asia Publication Series $ / PB 296gm. Aceh is a region that is no stranger to violent conflict and tragedy. This special territory of Indonesia has faced occupation, fallen into civil war, and was brutalized by the deadly 2004 tsunami. While these forces have altered the lives of the Aceh people, their very experiences of suffering and recovery have changed thanks to the globalization of psychiatry. In this book, Catherine Smith examines the global reach of the contested, yet compelling, concept of trauma. She explores how what is considered trauma has expanded well beyond the bounds of therapeutic practice to become a powerful cultural idiom shaping the ways people understand the effects of violence and imagine possible responses to suffering. In Aceh, conflict survivors have incorporated the ideas of trauma into their local languages, healing practices, and political imaginaries. The appearance of this idiom of distress into the Acehnese medical-moral landscape provides an ethnographic perspective on suffering and recovery, and contributes to our contemporary debates about the international reach of psychiatry and the cultural consequences as it spreads beyond the domain of medicine Mary Martin Booksellers Pte Ltd Singapore Oct

2 Architecture Forming / Unforming / ASD (Architecture Sustainable Design Pillar students faculty, staff) (Eds) Jeffrey Huyang & Erwin Viray Singapore: ASD@SUTD Press, p $ / PB 498gm Art Ways of Seeing / Elephnt Singapore: Math Paper Press (BooksActually), v $ / HB 320gm. The HDB block is full of look-out points. From the openness of the void deck to our windows that look out onto those of the block opposite; to live in an HDB block to see and to be seen. And with nearly 10, 000 public housing blocks spread throughout Singapore, it would not be hard to assume that the architectural elements directing lines of sight in HDB blocks would be similar. But amongst these 10, 000 blocks, one might encounter a passer-by at a void deck in Simei framed by pillars painted in patterns skin to the De Stijl art movement. Or briefly catch glimpses of a passer-by through a fan shaped window in a stairwell in Ubi. From colour coded void decks whose pillars seemingly repeat infinitely to the peonies, diamonds, moon gates and circles found in stairwells and life lobbies, the architectural motifs found in public housing blocks in Singapore become our Ways of Seeing Mary Martin Booksellers Pte Ltd Singapore Oct

Includes Index ; Selected Bibliography Economic history 2. Thailand Economic conditions $ / PB 558gm. This book presents an economic history of Bangkok, the Central Region, the North, the South, and Northeastern Regions from the signing of the Bowring Treaty in 1855 to the present. Most research has focused on Bangkok as the centre of change affecting other regions and has neglected other regions that had an influence on Bangkok. This book however looks at the changes not only in Bangkok, but also in the other regions, and emphasizes the ways in which Bangkok had an impact on the other regions, and how changes in the other regions affected Bangkok. It also looks, in turn, at each of the principal regions, and concentrate on the long-term economic and social changes and the various forces which promoted the changes. Rowing Against The Tide?

33 Local Encounters in a Global City : Singapore Stories / (Ed) Anju Mary Paul Singapore: Ethos Books (Pagesetters Services Pte Ltd), p $ / PB 304gm. What is the impact of a constant flow of people and capital in one of the most globalised cities in the world? In this collection of essays, the authors pursue an ethnographic approach to globalization, and while they were informed by official statistics and social theory, they relied mostly on first-hand observations of life and experiences in Singapore. From iconic Singapore locations like the Botanic Gardens, Raffles Place and ION Orchard Shopping Mall to the seamier side of globalisation in the red-light district of Geylang and disused factories housing migrant workers, the authors relate their narratives in telling details and street insights. There is no single position for or against globalisation in this collection. The diverse views show the complex effects of global capital and labour flows on the culture and cityscape of Singapore at a time when sustained challenges are emerging to the global economic and political order of a past generation Malays / Noor Aisha Abdul Rahman & Azhar Ibrahim (Gen.
