Wong’s and Heldt’s edited anthology represents the future of Asian Studies. A thoroughly transcultural perspective that characterizes the volume sheds new lights on issues that have been studied only within the framework of East Asian modern nation states. At the same time, it demonstrates how immediately relevant the same issues are to the studies of other areas of Asia and beyond. This anthology is a must for anyone who aims at introducing innovations into area studies across diverse academic disciplines.- Ryuichi Abe,Reischauer Institute Professor of Japanese Religions, Harvard University.
