Abstract

The 2013 winter issue of the AEMS Newsletter includes four reviews that should be of interest to a variety of audiences. "Families of the Philippines," reviewed by Roger Bresnahan, will likely be most relevant to educators working with younger learners. Per Kværne offers a review of "Bon: Mustang to Menri," a film that draws attention to the relatively little-known Bon religion of Tibet, which has long existed in the shadow of the better-known Tibetan Buddhism of the Geluk school. "Woman Rebel," reviewed by Tim Lubin, should be of particular interest to those teaching about women's issues and women in Asia. Last but certainly not least, Ryoko Sakurada highlights the value of the film work of an ethnologist in 1980s China. Given the rapid changes China has undergone in the past three decades, this film may serve as a valuable record of local life and culture that is increasingly difficult to find today.
