Description
Thomas Suarez charts the story of mapmaking, exploration and colonisation in South East Asia from the 16th to the 19th centuries. He surveys South East Asia's geography and civilisations, its maps and influence on Western world views, and the image of South East Asia in the eyes of its neighbours. He also examines Western images of the region.
