Early Interactions between South and Southeast Asia - Reflections on Cross-Cultural Exchange (Paperback)

This book takes stock of the results of some two decades of
intensive archaeological research carried out on both sides of the
Bay of Bengal, in combination with renewed approaches to textual
sources and to art history. To improve our understanding of the
trans-cultural process commonly referred to as Indianisation, it
brings together specialists of both India and Southeast Asia, in a
fertile inter-disciplinary confrontation. Most of the essays
reappraise the millennium-long historiographic no-man's land during
which exchanges between the two shores of the Bay of Bengal led,
among other processes, to the Indianisation of those parts of the
region that straddled the main routes of exchange. Some essays
follow up these processes into better known ""classical"" times or
even into modern times, showing that the localisation process of
Indian themes has long remained at work, allowing local societies
to produce their own social space and express their own ethos.
