4-6Culture In... series.
Each of these books offers readers a superficial look at traditional and contemporary arts and customs in an Asian country. The presentation is generally balanced, but occasional emphasis on the exotic mars the discussion. Captioned photos and text boxes extend the text. Some of the highlighted vocabulary seems aimed at readers younger than the books' intended audience. Glos., ind. Review covers these Culture In... titles: Culture in India, Culture in Malaysia, and Culture in Vietnam.
