A new, comprehensive, one volume history of Southeast Asia that
spans prehistory to the present. Ricklefs brings together
colleagues at the National University of Singapore whose expertise
covers the entire region, encompassing political, social, economic,
religious and cultural history.
Opening with an account of the ethnic groups and initial cultural
and social structures of Southeast Asia, the book moves through the
early 'classical' states, the arrival of new global religions and
the impact of non-indigenous actors. The history of early modern
states and their colonial successors is followed by analysis of
World War II across the region, Offering a definitive account of
decolonisation and early post-colonial nation-building, the text
then transports us to modern-day Southeast Asia, exploring its
place in a world recovering from the financial crisis. The
distinguished author team provide an authoritative and accessible
narrative, drawing upon the latest research and offering detailed
guidance on further reading. A landmark contribution to the field,
this is an essential text for scholars, students and anyone
interested in Southeast Asia.
