Maritime Southeast Asia
History, Culture and Religion; C. First Century CE–Fifteenth Century CE
Looks into the issue of complex interactions between local and extra-local influences in maritime Southeast Asia. It traces the processes through which extra-local influences were localised. As the book indicates, it was not just an appendage to the two great agrarian and maritime civilisations of Asia: India and China.
Often serving as an important node through which West Asian and South Asian maritime trade with China were maintained, maritime Southeast Asia remained exposed to various extra-local influences that accompanied maritime trade with and through this area. Yet, as the research articles in the book indicate, it was not just an appendage to the two great agrarian and maritime civilisations of Asia: India and China. It imbibed extra-local influences and transformed them to suit local needs. This book looks into the issue of complex interactions between local and extra-local influences in maritime Southeast Asia. It traces the processes through which extra-local influences were localised.
