This innovative rethinks the 18th and early 19th century history of coastal and riverine southwest Indochina--the "water frontier". IT repositions old state-centred histories to reveal the region as a single, multiethnic economic zone knit together by itineraries of junk traders and by the activities of many southern Chinese settlers, sojourners, and merchants, whose local significance it explores. In so doing, it pioneers a new nationally neutral way of perceiving this dynamic region.
Nola Cooke is a research fellow and Li Tana is a senior fellow at the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University. Contributors to this volume are: James Kong Chin, Choi Byung Wook, Anthony Reid, Puangthong Rungswasdiasb, Yumio Sakurai, Carl Trocki and Geoff Wade.
