New Books at ISEAS Library – Dec 2023

Highlights

The new age of naval power in the Indo-Pacific: strategy, order, and regional security / Catherine L. Grant, Alessio Patalano, and James A. Russell, editors; foreword by Ann E. Rondeau.  Washington, D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 2023.

Call no: VA643 N53

Nowhere is the urgency to address state-on-state competition at sea more strongly felt than in the Indo-Pacific region, where freedom of navigation stands challenged by regional states’ continuous investments in naval power and the renewed political will to use it. The international groups of distinguished contributors to this volume survey and analyze the implications of the return of naval power as a critical consideration of international relations in the Indo-Pacific region. — Publisher.


CoronAsur: Asian religions in the Covidian age / edited by Emily Zoe Hertzman, Natalie Lang, Erica M. Larson, and Carola E. Lorea.  Honolulu: University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2023.

Call no: BL65 M4C82

“…In Asian diaspora communities, diverse cultural tropes, beliefs, and artifacts were mobilized to make sense of Covid, including a repertoire of gods and demons like Coronasur, the virus depicted with the horns and fangs of a traditional Hindu demon. Various kinds of knowledge were invoked: theologies, indigenous medicines, and biomedical narratives, as well as ethical values and nationalist sentiments. CoronAsur: Asian Religions in the Covidian Age follows the documentation and analysis of the abrupt societal shifts triggered by the pandemic to understand current and future pandemic times, while revealing further avenues for research on religion that have opened up in the Covidian age.” — Publisher.
