Dr. Kerbo is a phenomenal researcher and writer. I've read several of his previous works. The topic and issues discussed in this book are highly relevant and equally important, however halfway through the book things seemed to drag. The book really could've been shortened or condensed to keep to the message. Or even still, the research could've been kept with a larger text in combination with his other research in Southeast Asia.
