Global trade and cultural revolution in Southeast Asia

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the changes that occurred in Southeast Asia between the fifteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, a time when the region was integrated into the global trade system. The author provides a vivid portrayal of the physical, material, cultural, and social structures of the region, and explores how the spice trade facilitated significant changes in urbanization, commercialization, state structure, and belief. This book would be a good read for anyone interested in understanding the impact of global trade on Southeast Asia and the forces that shaped the region during this time.

Description

In The Lands Below the Winds--the first volume of a two-volume set chronicling the rise of Southeast Asian culture during the years from 1450 to 1680--Anthony Reid vividly explored everyday life in the different societies of the region, from diet, housing, commerce, and law to sexual and family relations, patterns of warfare, and popular entertainment. In doing so he enables us to perceive the underlying coherence and splendid variety in the complex mosaic of Southeast Asia.
