Abstract

The Winter 2007 issue of AEMS News and Reviews offers a rich collection of reviews and educational resources centered on East and Southeast Asia. Featured films include "Amongst White Clouds", which explores the contemplative lives of Chinese Buddhist hermits; "B.A.T.A.M.", a critical look at Indonesia’s industrial free-trade zone and its social consequences, particularly in relation to Singapore; and "The Men Who Would Conquer China", documenting the challenges Western businessmen face in navigating China’s rapidly evolving economy. The issue also highlights "Preaching from Pictures: A Japanese Mandala", a new DVD that introduces Buddhist visual pedagogy in Japan. Additionally, the Teaching and Technology column showcases a telecollaboration project connecting Canadian and South Korean students in a beginning Japanese language class, and a new online resource, the Expanding East Asian Studies (ExEAS) website, provides a curated filmography for teaching Asian American topics. Beyond the primary focus, the issue touches upon other countries and regions, including Tibet and Thailand, in its various discussions and resources.
