Aceh has become best known in our times for its twin disasters-the
worst earthquake and tsunami of modern times in December 2004, and
a long-running separatist conflict that rent Indonesia for most of
its independent history. Although this book emerged from the
process of recovery from those traumas, it turns the spotlight on a
more positive and neglected claim Aceh has on our attention, as the
Southeast Asian maritime state that most successfully and
creatively maintained its independent place in the world until
1874. Like Burma, Siam and Vietnam, all better protected by
geography, Aceh has its own story to tell of a unique culture
struggling for survival through the European colonial era.
