The historical traditions of Southeast Asia are many and varied, for the peoples of the region have been writing about their past for at least 700 years in a wide range of languages and styles. Only a collective enterprise like this book, bringing together 22 leading scholars, could begin to explore the development of Southeast Asian historical thinking as a whole. The book provides not merely a guide to this multiplicity of approaches, but also and insight into the way Southeast Asians have sought to chart a course through the shifting ideological currents that have swirled around them.
