news and updates from NUS Publishing / Singapore UPAn informal channel for news, notes and new book announcements from Singapore University Press, the publishing house of the National University of Singapore. The ecstasy that is Asia's agony - Yaa Baa reviewed in Straits Times
Anthony Paul has written a strong article on methamphetamine and ecstasy abuse in Southeast Asia, with a discussion of Yaa Baa, by Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy and Joel Meissonier. He calls it "a riveting new book" which tells "a disturbing tale". (Note: registration is required to read Straits Times material, and I'm not sure how long they'll keep it online.)
