Summary

"In this volume a number of friends and colleagues pay tribute to Nicholas Tarling, a distinguished scholar who has spent a career illuminating the impact and legacy of European power on Southeast Asia. The contributions range widely, from the early modern societies of Borneo, to the rise and decline of European imperialism, to twentieth century expressions of nationhood and nationalism. In his own work Tarling creates a blend of local, international, cultural and intellectual history. This volume tries to do the same, as the contributors tell stories full of incident and ideas."
