Iberian Asia
I was glad to be invited by the editors of this forum to contribute to a discussion based on the idea of an ‘Iberian Asia.’ I should state from the outset that I am a scholar of the island world of

Islamic Ecumene
Islamic Ecumene
This book addresses the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit. Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the book examines Musli…

Introduction to Volume 1
Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of Global Migrations documents the lives and experiences of everyday people through the lens of human movement and mobility from 1400 to 1800. Focusing on the most important typologies of preindustrial global migrations, this volume reveals how these movements transformed global paths of mobility, the impacts of which we still see in societies today. Case studies include those that arose from the demand for free,…

In Asian Waters
In Asian Waters
A sweeping account of how the sea routes of Asia have transformed a vast expanse of the globe over the past five hundred years, powerfully shaping the modern world In the centuries leading up to our own, the volume of traffic across Asian sea routes—an area stretching from East Africa and the Middle East to Japan—grew dramatically, eventually making them the busiest in the world. The result was a massive circulation of people, commodities, religi…
History, Zomia, Closure
It is difficult to expound in any pithy fashion on the imprint that James C. Scott's work has had on writing history in the orbit of Asia. Where to start? From The Moral Economy of the Peasant all the way to Against the Grain, Scott's work has found receptive and fertile ground among his peers in Asian studies, who have often proudly pointed out to their non-Asianist colleagues that Scott is "one of their own." This has certainly been true "inter…

Racial Science and Human Diversity in Colonial Indonesia
Racial Science and Human Diversity in Colonial Indonesia is a timely book. Fenneke Sysling looks at the production of a discourse on race in the colonial Netherlands Indies that was at once particularly Dutch and pan-European (in its origins and execution). That is not an easy synthesis to achieve, but Sysling does achieve this union of purpose in showing the complicated origins of a Dutch colonial narrative on race and racial origins that was ge…

The Sovereign and the Pirate
Lakshmi Subramanian’s book provides us with an interesting new study on the mechanics and dynamics of piracy in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries. Situated in the waters of western India, it roams freely between colonial documentation and subaltern analysis, looking to tie together the two strands into a combined study of what maritime predation might have looked like two hundred years ago, on a remote stretch of coastline. This a…
Secret Trades, Porous Borders
Over the course of the half century from 1865 to 1915, the British and Dutch delineated colonial spheres, in the process creating new frontiers. This book analyzes the development of these frontiers in Insular Southeast Asia as well as the accompanying smuggling activities of the opium traders, currency runners, and human traffickers who pierced such newly drawn borders with growing success. The book presents a history of the evolution of this 30…

Asia Inside Out
Asia Inside Out reveals the dynamic forces that have historically linked regions of the world s largest continent, stretching from Japan and Korea to the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Middle East. Connected Places, the second installment in this pioneering three-volume survey, highlights the transregional flows of goods, ideas, and people across natural and political boundaries sea routes, delta ecologies, and mountain passes, ports …
Kettle on a Slow Boil
Around the turn of the 20th century, the colonial Dutch state grew increasingly concerned about what were perceived as threats to its authority. The article devotes particular attention to the so-called “Outer Islands”, and the forces that Batavia saw at work in this periphery that were considered dangerous enough to jeopardize imperial survival
Ambiguous Commodities, Unstable Frontiers
At the turn of the nineteenth century in Southeast Asia, the Kingdoms of Burma and Siam were largely stable, independent polities: powerful in relation to their neighbors, self-sufficient in terms of food, and possessing little reason to believe that these parameters would be changing within the clearly foreseeable future.See Victor Lieberman, “Secular Trends in Burmese Economic History, 1350–1830, and their Implications for State-Formation,” Mod…
Jagged Landscapes
The present paper discusses ways in which thinking about this paradoxical nature of boundaries might be broadened so that familiar, contemporary, and ultimately very Western notions of what a border actually “is” might be probed and challenged. Borders have histories just as peoples do, and the history of Western borders is only one category among many in global and historical scope. The first part of the paper will focus on conceptual approaches…
A Necklace of Fins
This paper explores the ocean produce trade that connected maritime East and Southeast Asia between 1780 and 1860. The essay explicitly concentrates on two “arenas” of action where politics, commerce, and the trade in sea produce combined in powerful ways: the Straits of Melaka, and the waters of Northern Borneo. In both of these regions, the collection of marine goods became big business. More importantly, however, the organized funneling of the…
Navigating communities
This paper examines intersecting notions of distance, place and community across Insular Southeast Asia for the last several hundred years. The piece is not an attempt to chronicle all these affiliations over time and space, but is rather an effort to re-think how people have moved in Southeast Asian history, who they did this with and why. The essay is divided into three parts. The first section looks at some of the meanings of place in the last…

Border Permeability and the State in Southeast Asia
Border Permeability and the State in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia, governments have increasingly tried to regulate international flows of commodities for financial, territorial, and security reasons. This article examines the relationship between borders and contraband in this arena, arguing that their interrelationship has become an important -- and understudied -- part of the regional security mosaic. The article analyses some of the connecting mechanisms between A SEAN frontier regions, and…
Trade, Production, and Incorporation. The Indian Ocean in Flux, 1600–1900
Historians have approached the Indian Ocean from a variety of vantages in their attempts to explain the modern history of this huge maritime arena. Some scholars have concentrated on predation as a linking theme, charting how piracy connected a broad range of actors for centuries in these dangerous waters. Others have focused on environmental issues, asking how patterns of winds, currents, and weather allowed trade to flourish on such a vast, oce…
Borneo in Fragments
In the second half of the nineteenth century, Borneo – supposedly one of the most isolated islands on the planet – became a trans-national site of growing importance. Instead of being imagined as a site of endless forests, inaccessible mountains, and undisturbed nature, Borneo became a place to extract and move objects, many of them spinning off into international circuits. The British and Dutch, who became the dual colonial overlords of the isla…
An Urban Ocean
While there are universalizing trends in global urbanization currently taking place, several Southeast Asian cities will adopt these new frameworks and institutions at least partly within a local model that is already several centuries old. Particular to the region, this model does not parallel South and East Asia's urban evolutions, the two regions traditionally regarded as the well-springs of Southeast Asian culture. Rather, it contradicts it. …

The Indies and the world
Scholars such as Ray Huang in his ground-breaking book 1587, a year of no significance have shown how examining a single year in some detail can often say interesting and unexpected things about longer-term trends of a particular time and place. Huang did this to look at the patterns of China in the late Ming period, and he presaged not only the extraordinary cultural florescence that was beginning at the time, but also the seeds of Ming decay wh…
Morphological shifts in Southeast Asian prostitution
This article examines the history of prostitution as a regional phenomenon in Southeast Asia over the course of the twentieth century. I argue that this institution changed shape several times during that period, and that a number of rubrics might be employed to best study this evolution. The first part of the article looks at some of the traditional parameters of prostitution as it was practised both in island and mainland Southeast Asia, while …
Thinking Marginally
This essay examines a range of issues at stake in the transgression of political boundaries across a spectrum of human societies. The aim of the article is not to catalogue a vast series of boundary-crossing actions, but rather to suggest what some of the main characteristics and variables are of contrabanding across frontiers. An attempt will be made to briefly define the problem of illicit facilitation across borders, as different theorists hav…

Finding Captivity among the Peasantry
This paper examines the concept of a progressively ‘captured peasantry’ in the Malay world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper argues that peasant incorporation into regional and global modes of production, as well as into changing political and cultural milieus, can be examined through three useful lenses. These lenses are, first ‘Traditional’ modes of captivity, based in long-standing area patterns; second, a process…

The National Archives (Jakarta) and the Writing of Transnational Histories of Indonesia
The Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia, or National Archives of Indonesia (located in South Jakarta), offers some intriguing possibilities for researchers wishing to write transnational histories of the country over a range of time periods. The voluminous materials stretch back to the seventeenth century, and indeed anyone looking for documents or data on the development of the country should really pass through here, though scholars often spend m…

Clio/anthropos
The intersection between history and anthropology is more varied now than it has ever been. Historians have increasingly looked to the methodologies of anthropologists to explain inequalities of power, problems of voicelessness, and conceptions of social change from an inside perspective. And ethnologists have increasingly relied on longitudinal visions of their subjects, inquiries framed by the lens of history rather than purely structuralist, c…

It would be very difficult to find a more beautifully-produced book than The Age of Empires, edited by Robert Aldrich of the University of Sydney.
