This book offers a masterful review of moral education across the largest and most populous cultural area on Earth. Expertly edited by Charlene Tan and Kim-chong Chong, the eleven chapters are well sequenced and written in a reader-friendly, engaging style. As we turn the pages of Tan and Chong s volume, we travel among the citizens of Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Cambodia, and Japan. In the process, we obtain a pluralistic perspective on cultural globalization. The chapter authors critically examine the impact of globalization on traditional cultures and address the sometimes conflicted and always complex relations between globalization and multicultural appropriateness in moral education.
