The political and religious identities of Southeast Asia were
largely formed by the experiences of the fifteenth through
seventeenth centuries, when international commerce boomed before
eventually falling under the domination of well-armed European
powers intent on monopoly. This book is the first to document the
full range of responses to the profound changes of this period:
urbanization and the burgeoning of commerce; the proliferation of
firearms; an increase in the number and strength of states; and the
shift from experimental spirit worship to the universalist
scriptural religions of Islam, Christianity, and Theravada
Buddhism. Bringing together ten essays by an international group of
historians, Southeast Asia in the Early Modern Era shows how
various states adapted to new pressures and compares economic,
religious, and political developments among the major cultures of
the area.
