Using a unique "old-new" treatment, this book presents new
perspectives on several important topics in Southeast Asian history
and historiography. Based on original, primary research, it
reinterprets and revises several long-held conventional views in
the field, covering the period from the "classical" age to the
twentieth century. Chapters share the approach to Southeast Asian
history and historiography: namely, giving "agency" to Southeast
Asia in all research, analysis, writing, and interpretation. The
book honours John K. Whitmore, a senior historian in the field of
Southeast Asian history today, by demonstrating the scope and
breadth of the scholar's influence on two generations of historians
trained in the West. In addition to providing new information and
insights on the field of Southeast Asia, this book stimulates new
debate on conventional ideas, evidence, and approaches to its
teaching, research, and understanding. It addresses, and in many
cases, revises specific, critically important topics in Southeast
Asian history on which much conventional knowledge of Southeast
Asia has long been based. It is of interest to scholars of
Southeast Asian Studies, as well as Asian History.
