Why is it that warfare in Southeast Asian history is depicted so
differently in various historical sources and representations? Why
have scholars looking at different countries found so many
exceptions to regional overviews of warfare? The present volume
seeks to present a new approach to the study of warfare in the
region by abandoning the generalizations made in the conventional
literature. The contributors offer a range of new studies of
warfare in local areas within the region, looking at warfare on its
own, local terms rather than for what it says about warfare in the
region as a whole. This approach for the first time submits
Southeast Asia to comparative analysis in a way that avoids
artificial and misleading regional attributes. The varied case
studies, researched and written by a number of experts of local
warfare within the region include naval warfare eighteenth century
Vietnam, civil war in South Sulawesi during the Peneki War, the art
and texts of war in Burmese warfare, modes of warfare in
precolonial Bali, war captive taking in Thailand, and kinship,
religion, and war in late eighteenth century Maguindanao, and
preparations for war in the Pacific rimlands. The volume makes an
important contribution to the new literature emerging on the
culture of indigenous warfare in North and South America, Africa,
South Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific Islands, by offering a
new and robust Southeast Asian entry on the one hand while adding
to a new approach to the growing literature on early modern
Southeast Asia warfare.
