Information About

"The twelve essays which make up this volume originated in two small seminarson the development of the port and polity in Southeast Asia held in the Department of History, University of Malaya...Since a number of authoritative publications on such major port-polities as Melaka, Aceh and Johor are already available, greater emphasis is laid on recent studies dealing with other areas in other periods that, although perhaps less well known, are no less significant. The survey first traces the genesis of port and polity in the Straits of Melaka in pre- and protohistoric times, then shifts to the central and eastern islands of the Archipelago and finally returns to the Straits and the Malay Peninsula, which acquired a new significance with the rise of Singapore in the early nineteenth century"--Pref.
