Emerging from a conference on "Communities in Question: Religion and Authority in East and Southeast Asia," held in Hua Hin, Thailand, May 1989, this volume examines some of the tensions and conflicts between states and religious communities over the scope of religious views of the communities, the consequences of state-imposed definitions of religion, and the religious basis for resistance to state authority. The studies focus on Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
