| Summary/Abstract |
Anthropologists and area scholars profile 14 endangered cultures of the region, from the Kubu of Central Sumatra in Indonesia to the Ainu of Japan. They report from their own field work about such issues as the impact of tourism, the prohibition of whaling, and dislocation due to nuclear testing. Each account is followed by questions and lists of published literature, films, and videos, and organizations.
