This book is a compilation of stories, photos and essays from 16 Inter Press Service (IPS) reporters and photojournalists. All contributors were fellows with the Our Mekong media fellowship programme for reporting on transboundary issues in the Mekong region. These fellows came from China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and "spread out across the Greater Mekong Subregion in pursuit of cross-border stories, ranging from dams, commercial navigation, drugs, HIV/AIDS, culture or trade."

The publishers go on to write that "Through their pens and cameras, these journalists take us through a fast-changing corner of Asia - a combination of different political, socio-cultural and media environments, one that is both modern and traditional, urban and rural, linked by the Mekong river but also separated by it, increasingly integrated but also still restricted by borders and past conflicts."
