Southeast Asia: Past And Present, Fourth Edition

This is the comprehensive Fourth Edition of D. R. SarDesai's "Southeast Asia: Past And Present", published in 1997. The book offers a balanced and highly readable account of the region from ancient to modern times, adeptly covering traditional history as well as contemporary events. SarDesai thoughtfully avoids exaggerating the importance of the period of European colonial rule, providing an introduction to the diverse regions and peoples of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Combining thematic and chronological approaches with in-depth studies of colonialism, nationalism, domestic problems, and international relations, this edition consistently conveys an Asian point of view. As a revised fourth edition, SarDesai brings the account of the region's history thoroughly up-to-date and includes a completely revised and comprehensive bibliography and chronology. Binding: Paperback. Condition: Very Good.
