ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY The study of the history of Southeast Asia is still growing, evolving, deepening, and changing as an academic fi eld. Over the past few decades historians have added nuance to traditional topics such as Islam and nationalism, and created new ones, such as gender, globalization, and the politics of memory. The Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian History looks at the major themes that have developed in the study of modern Southeast Asian history since the mid- eighteenth century. Contributions by experts in the fi eld are clustered under three major headings – political history, economic history, and social and cultural history – and chapters challenge the bound- aries between topics and regions. Alongside the rise and fall of colonialism, topics include confl ict in Southeast Asia, tropical ecology, capitalism and its discontents, the major religions of the region, gender, and ethnicity. The handbook provides a stimulating introduction to the most important themes within the subject area, and is an invaluable reference work for any student and researcher on Southeast Asia and Asian and World history. Norman G. Owen is an Honorary Professor of the University of Hong Kong. His previous publications include P rosperity without Progress: Manila Hemp and Material Life in the Colonial Philippines (1984) and The Bikol Blend (1999), and he edited The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia: A New History (2005). a Asi ast e h ut o S of p a m n a m r e G y r u nt e c - h nt e e et n Ni e ec pi ntis Fro ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY Edited by Norman G.
