Lieberman places Southeast Asia withing the Eurasian context without falling into the traps of Euro-centric colonial historiography. However, the book is also repetitive and about four times as long as it needs to be. The 84 page introduction is worth reading, and essentially presents the entire argument of the book. The rest of it re-makes the same argument in slightly more detail. The conclusion makes the argument again. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (79)This ambitious work has two novel goals: to overcome the extreme fragmentation of early Southeast Asian historiography, and to connect Southeast Asian to world history. Combining careful local research with wide-ranging theory Lieberman argues that over a thousand years, each of mainland Southeast Asia's great lowland corridors experienced a pattern of accelerating integration punctuated by recurrent collapse. These trajectories were synchronized not only between corridors, but most curiously, between the mainland as a whole, much of Europe, and other sectors of Eurasia. He describes in detail the nature of mainland consolidation - which was simultaneously territorial, religious, ethnic, and commercial - and dissects the mix of endogenous and external factors responsible. Here, then, is a fundamentally original analysis not only of Southeast Asia, but of the pre-modern world. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
