Weathering the Storm: The Economics of Southeast Asia in the 1930s Depression
ISBN: 9789067181631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The principal cause of the 1930s depression in Southeast Asia lay outside the region--through a sharp contraction in demand for the region's major commodity exports. But it had important internal causes, too: an oversupply of primary commodities and an increasing scarcity of new agricultural land leading to higher rents and lower wages, rising indebtedness and increasing landlessness. This work thoroughly analyses the pre-war depression. It also looks at the changes in the basic structures of the economies of Southeast Asia that were of long-term importance, such as the role of the state in...

Frontiers of Fear: Tigers and People in the Malay World, 1600-1950
ISBN: 9780300206388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For centuries, reports of man-eating tigers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore have circulated, shrouded in myth and anecdote. This fascinating book documents the big cat-human relationship in this area during its 350-year colonial period, re-creating a world in which people feared tigers but often came into contact with them, because these fierce predators prefer habitats created by human interference. Peter Boomgaard shows how people and tigers adapted to each other's behavior, each transmitting this learning from one generation to the next. He discusses the origins of stories and...

A World of Water: Rain, Rivers and Seas in Southeast Asian Histories
ISBN: 9789067182942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Water, in its many guises, has always played a powerful role in shaping Southeast Asian histories, cultures, societies and economies. This volume, the rewritten results of an international workshop, with participants from eight countries, contains thirteen essays, representing a broad range of approaches to the study of Southeast Asia with water as the central theme. As it was exposed to the sea, the region was more accessible to outside political, economic and cultural influences than many landlocked areas. Easy access through sea routes also stimulated trade from an early age. However, the...

Linking Destinies: Trade, Towns and Kin in Asian History
ISBN: 9789067183208 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Trade flows, cities and kinship relations can all be seen as elements of complex networks. In this collection of essays, all of which deal with Asia, we argue that there are good reasons to envisage them as various dimensions of the same networks. Nevertheless, it is fairly rare to find trade, cities and kinship relations as intimately linked as we have portrayed them in this volume, because they are usually classified within different sub-disciplines of history, whose practitioners are all too often not inclined to talk to people outside their own field. The Australian born historian Heather...

Globalization, Environmental Change, and Social History
ISBN: 9781107401518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout all ages, the activities of mankind have weighed heavily upon the environment. In turn, changes in that environment have favoured the rise of certain social groups and limited the actions of others. Despite this, environmental history has remained a blind spot for most social and economic historians. This is to be regretted, as the various and unequal effects of environmental change often explain the strengths and weaknesses of certain social groups, irrespective of their being defined along the lines of class, gender and ethnicity. This volume brings together the expertise of...

Smallholders and Stockbreeders: Histories of Foodcrop and Livestock Farming in Southeast Asia
ISBN: 9789067182256 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Historians of Southeast Asia have traditionally preferred to write about politics and culture rather than economics and ecology, and where they have looked at the history of agriculture they have most often concentrated on cash crops like sugar, coffee and rubber which figure prominently in colonial records. Smallholders and stockbreeders, by contrast, provides a rare survey of the history of foodcrop farming, and a unique look at the history of animal husbandry, in the Southeast Asian region. Thirteen contributions by an international selection of expert authors cover topics ranging...

They are also increasingly important topics in economic history and the social sciences, from Marcel Mauss and the anthropology of the gift to the urgent quest for understanding of today's global credit crunch. This volume brings together eight essays on credit and debt in the history of Indonesia, where for centuries debt and debt bondage played central roles in the organization of society, and where efforts to combat 'usury' and free peasants from indebtedness were central to the ethical and nationalist movements of the late...
