Description
Whilst giving attention to the early history of Southeast Asia, Milton Osborne concentrates on the changes that have taken place since the 18th century. He surveys such vital developments as the impact of colonial rule, economic transformations in the 19th and 20th centuries, the emergence and triumph of independence movements and the impact of social change, and the pivotal roles of religion and immigrant groups in the various countries of the region.
