Southeast Asia
This innovative book adopts both a narrative and a comparative approach to the modern history of Southeast Asia. It examines the experiences of Southeast Asian states, peoples, and regimes, and it links those experiences with those of states, peoples, and regimes in other parts of the world.
The Works of Nicholas Tarling on Southeast Asia
Southeast Asian history and historiography would be greatly handicapped if the writings of Nicholas Tarling (b. 1931), currently emeritus professor at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, were removed from the increasingly expanding literature. His books and articles have attained 'classic' status, never failing to be listed in students' 'Required Reading Lists'. In critically scrutinizing and analysing British imperial designs on the region, Tarling has contributed significantly to the historiography of Southeast Asia as Great Britain was a major player, if not the dalang (puppeteer) of events and developments on the geopolitical stage. Tarling's corpus of works, specifically his papers published in scholarly journals, is an essential guide to the politics and history of Southeast Asia.
The Cambridge History of Southeast Asia: From early times to c. 1800
The Cambridge History of Southeast Asia is a multi-authored treatment of the whole of mainland and island Southeast Asia from Burma to Indonesia. Unlike other histories of the region, it is not divided on a country-by-country basis and is not structured purely chronologically, but rather takes a thematic and regional approach to Southeast Asia's history, aiming to present the current state of historical research on Southeast Asia as well as stimulating further thought and investigation.--Publisher description.
Imperialism in Southeast Asia
One of the few studies of imperialism to concentrate on Southeast Asia, Tarling's work focuses on the establishment of political control from 1870 to 1914 and analyses attempts to re-establish control after the Second World War.
