Southeast Asia (Modern World Cultures)

 
72

Southeast Asia brings to mind exotic people and exotic places that seem very far away. From the beautiful beaches of Bali, Indonesia, to the bustling modern city of Singapore, this region is home to many ancient cultures that are developing modern political structures and economies. This transition is taking many of the people of Southeast Asia on a whirlwind ride. They are moving from an era of European colonial economies built on the lucrative spice trade to twenty-first-century technical jobs created in the age of computers, biotechnology, and the Internet.
