The starting point of this volume is the scathing attack,
far-reaching in its consequences, launched in 1942 by J.C. van Leur
on the views then current on the character and significance of the
18th century as a category in Asian history. His denial of European
pre-eminence in Asian waters represented a direct attack on
colonial historiography. The essays here derive from an
international conference held 50 years later, to assess the impact
of van Leur's work. In part historiographic, in part drawing on new
research, they aim to delimit the boundaries of European-Asian
interaction, and to provide case studies of what this period
actually meant for the history of South and East Aia.
