I need a kind of book review for ONE of the following books:

Suzanne Brenner, The Domestication of Desire: Women, Wealth & Modern
in Java (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1988)
 
Stoler, Ann Laura.  Carnal knowledge and imperial power : race and the
intimate in colonial rule  University of California Press, c2002. xi,
335 p.

Tsing, Anna. In the Realm of the Diamond Queen: Marginality in an Out
of the Way Place (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1993).

An ideal answer should provide me with the following information:
---analyze the contents of the book 
---present the author?s argument and explore her/his interests and perspectives.  
---What questions does the author raise?  
---How does the author use their evidence? 
---What assumptions does she/he make about this particular subject?  
---How does the author answer the questions and how does this work fit
into the general framework of the field?

Please let me know if you read any of the book mention above and once
you decide to answer my question. Thank you

To whom it may concern:

Instead of all those book that I mention earlier, I just need answers
that I requested for this one particular book right now:

"Even the Women must fight: memories of war from North Vietnam" by Karen Turner

So I still need the same answer with the question that I asked
earlier,but just for this particular book ok?

Hello ttc.ga,

I've found a review of "Carnal knowledge and imperial power : race and the
intimate in colonial rule" that addresses some of the points you list
in your question. Is this the kind of review you want for "Even the
Women must fight: memories of war from North Vietnam"?

Ann Stoler. Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power: Race and the Intimate
in Colonial Rule.

Reviewed by: Dawn Ottevaere, Michigan State University.
Published by: H-Women (June, 2004) 
Theories of Power and the Intimate

Ann Stoler's book Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power is more a
collection of interrelated essays than a progressive narrative,
illustrating the complexity of colonial culture and politics. She
dedicated more than a decade to research, and her approach questions
the traditions of colonial history while introducing an evolution of
gender theory.

I look forward to your clarification.
