Description
"In recent years the economies of eastern Asia have virtually exploded. What started in Japan and Taiwan in the 1950s and 1960s and continued in Hong Kong and Korea in the 1970s and 1980s has now touched Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Traditional societies and ways of life in these countries exist side by side with, or are giving way to, electronic and manufacturing productivity and consumerism on a scale that is nothing less than a revolution. While this transformation has been taking place, Hiroji Kubota has been criss-crossing the area for the past four years making pictures of people and places in a time of great change."--Jacket.
