The role of water in Southeast Asian history Standard historical narratives usually contain iconic images, epitomizing their central themes. In Indonesian history, one such emblematic scene is said to have occurred in the port-city of Makassar, South Sulawesi (Celebes), in the first half of the seventeenth century. A representative of the Verenigde Oost- Indische Compagnie (VOC, Dutch East India Company) confronted the lead- ers of the twin kingdom of Goa-Tallo’, lords of this thriving east Indonesian entrepôt, and demanded that non-Dutch access to Moluccan spices be curbed. Each time the Company official pressed his case, the ruler responded with variations of the same statement: ‘God has made the earth and the sea, and has divided the earth among men and made the sea common to all’. This exchange symbolizes both the crucial role of oceans and trade in Southeast Asian history, and the conflict between indigenous and European interests and perceptions. This fundamental difference was not rooted in Asian maritime or commercial incapacity, but reflects rather the more aggressive attitudes of the European powers, which in turn derived from the dynamics of their history. Charles Tilly (990) has argued that the burgeoning states of early modern Europe were driven by the competitive pressures of ‘coercion and capital’, as the accumulation of wealth and power formed a mutually reinforcing spiral.

  • Urban Respectability and the Maleness of (Southeast) Asian Modernity
    Asian Review of World Histories 2:2 (July 2014), 147-167 © 2014 The Asian Association of World Historians doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12773/arwh.2014.2.2.147 Urban Respectability and the Maleness of (Southeast) Asian Modernity Anthony REID Australian National University Canberra, Australia [email protected] Abstract The urban modernity that became an irresistible model for elites in Asia in the decades before and after 1900 was far from being gender-neutral. It rep- resented an exceptional peak of patriarchy in its exclusion of respectable middle class women from the work force, from ownership and control of property and from politics. Marriage was indissoluble and the wife’s role in the male-headed nuclear family was to care for and educate the abundant children she produced. Puritan religious values underlined the perils for women of falling outside this pattern of dependence on the male. Though upheld as modern and civilized, this ideal was in particularly striking con- trast with the pre-colonial Southeast Asian pattern of economic autonomy and balance between women and men, and the relative ease of female- initiated divorce. Although attractive to many western-educated Southeast Asian men, including religious reformers determined to ‘save’ and domesti- cate women, urban respectability of this type was a poor fit for women ac- customed to dominant roles in commerce and marketing, and at least equal ones in production. Southeast Asian relative failure in the high colonial era to adapt to the modern market economy may also have a gendered explana- tion. We should not be surprised that patriarchy and puritanism became more important in Southeast Asia as it urbanized in the late 20th Century, since this was echoing the European experience a century earlier.

  • Imperial Alchemy: Nationalism and Political Identity in Southeast Asia
    This page intentionally left blank Imperial Alchemy The mid twentieth century marked one of the greatest watersheds of Asian history, when a range of imperial constructs were declared to be nation-states, either by revolution or by decolonisation. Nationalism was the great alchemist, turning the base metal of empire into the gold of nations. To achieve such a transformation from the immense diversity of these Asian empires required a different set of forces from those that Europeans had needed in their transitions from multi-ethnic empires to culturally homogeneous nations. In this book Anthony Reid, one of the premier scholars of Southeast Asia, explores the mysterious alchemy by which new political identities have been formed. Taking Southeast Asia as his example, Reid tests contemporary theory about the relation between modernity, nationalism and ethnic identity. Grappling with concepts emanating from a very different European experience of nationalism, Reid develops his own typology to better fit the formation of political identities such as the Indonesian, Malay, Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan. anthony reid is a Southeast Asian Historian now again based at the Australian National University, Canberra, but previously at the National University of Singapore (2002–9), where he established the Asia Research Institute, and University of California, Los Angeles (1999–2002). His other recent books include Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce (2 vols, 1988–93), Charting the Shape of Early Modern Southeast Asia (1999), An Indonesian Frontier: Acehnese and Other Histories of Sumatra (2004), and, as [co]editor, Islamic Legitimacy in a Plural Asia (2007), Chinese Diaspora in the Pacific (2008) and Negotiating Asymmetry: China’s Place in Asia (2009).

  • Southeast Asian Consumption of Indian and British Cotton Cloth, 1600–1850
    SOUTHEAST ASIAN CONSUMPTION OF INDIAN AND BRITISH COTTON CLOTH, 1600–1850 Anthony Reid The Importance of Cotton Cloth It was Indian cloth, more than any other single article of import, which opened up Southeast Asia to the long-distance trade over the past mil- lennium. The local trade was of course more ancient and always more substantial in terms of bulk. Rice, dried and pickled fish, salt, earthen- ware and metal tools were traded between upland and lowland commu- nities from very early times. But long-distance traders sought some of the unique products of Southeast Asia – spices such as cloves, mace and nutmeg, birds of paradise, aromatic woods and resins such as camphor and sandalwood, tin, and above all gold. To persuade people to accumu- late such goods for sale there was nothing so useful as high-quality cloth. Indian merchants learned to bring cloth with them to Southeast Asia, and in time Southeast Asians in turn sought out such cloth by taking their own cargoes of tropical and forest produce to India. It was not that Southeast Asians could not produce their own cotton cloth. Cotton was grown from at least the thirteenth century in those parts of Southeast Asia that had a marked dry season – Luzon, central Vietnam, eastern Cambodia, east Java and central Burma (Map 1.1). Chinese sources note cotton as one of the exports from all these places to China.1 The biggest such source, the dry zone of central Burma, was supplying about 1,000 tons a year of raw cotton to Yunnan by 1600.2 Bali, Sumbawa and South Sulawesi exported cotton and cotton cloth in more limited Archipelago circles.

  • Antonio De Lauri Interviews Anthony Reid1
    “The moral absolutism that insists on seeing slaves only as victims without agency, robs us of the opportunity to explore some real lives of the underprivileged” May 15th, 2015 Antonio De Lauri interviews Anthony Reid1 Antonio De Lauri: Would you like to start with a brief biographical note? How did you become an academic? Anthony Reid: I grew up in New Zealand, but as a ‘diplomatic kid’ had to start my schooling in Washington DC and spend some time visiting parents also in Indonesia and Japan. I began the study of history only at university level, in Wellington, where we studied the history of everything except New Zealand, one might say. History seemed a better way to understand the world than did economics, political science or literature, which I also studied. Post-graduate study was perhaps above all a means to move from the periphery to the centre, at Cambridge. An academic career was not at first my goal, so much as to better understand the world and especially that part of Asia that was reinventing itself through nationalism and independence. I grew disenchanted with diplomacy as an alternative 1 Anthony Reid is a Southeast Asian historian, once again based as emeritus Professor at the Australian National University, where he also served as Professor of Southeast Asian History for many years before 1999. In between he was founding Director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at UCLA (1999-2002) and of the Asia Research Institute at NUS, Singapore (2002-7). He was awarded the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize in 2002, and the Association of Asian Studies, ‘Distinguished Contributions to Asian Studies’ Award in 2010.

Humans and Forests in Pre-colonial Southeast Asia ANTHONY REID Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies Australian National University SUMMARY Until about fifteen centuries ago the interaction of humans with the Southeast Asian rainforest was primarily one of interdependence. Trees were felled for food and aromatic woods, and in dryer zones to burn in a process of shifting cultivation, but population pressures were low enough for routine regeneration. Before the modern era of plantation agriculture and mechanised logging, two great changes had already affected the environment profoundly: (1) the elabo- ration of permanently irrigated rice fields in upland valleys, creating substantial areas of permanent agricultural land progressively from about the 8th Century, and making possible greater concentrations of population, both agricultural and urban; (2) the rapid growth of commercial agriculture from the fifteenth century, primarily in pepper but later also sugar, cloves, gambier and coffee, which permanently deforested large areas of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Vietnam and the Malayan Peninsula.

I am not very sure if there is a Malay word for this phrase because Reid quoted the phrase from ibn Muhammad Ibrahim’sThe ship of Sulaiman (translated from the Persian by J O’Kane and published by Routledge and Kegan Paul in 1972). Translating the phrase into Indonesian then perhaps will read as tanah dibawah angin or wilayah/daerah yang terletak di bawah angin. This phrase connotes a vast area known also as the Malay world that might now be called Southeast Asia.2 The problems of language translation can have serious implication in our discussions and eventually our understanding of what constitutes the ‘Malay world’, ‘Malay’ and ‘Malayness’.3This translation problem was recently raised by Barnard and Maier in Contesting Malayness (2004: x) in which they noted that ‘Malay’ and ‘Maleis’, terms that are used in English and Dutch literatures respectively, are in fact defective translations of ‘Melayu’. 1 This is a slightly revised version of an essay originally presented at the International Symposium on ‘Thinking Malayness’, 19–21 June 2004, organised by the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa (ILCAA), Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Fuchu, Tokyo.
