Description

<p>This essay gives an overview of major trends in the research of Southeast Asian history in Japan since 2006 when the Japan Society for Southeast Asian History changed its name to the Japan Society for Southeast Asian Studies. Surveying those books concerning Southeast Asian history in a broad sense which were published during the research period, it arranges them into three sections. The first section includes books on global history and border history with special attention to maritime and mountainous areas in the region. The second section deals with books on modernity which see continuities between cultural politics and governing practices under colonialism on one hand, and the efforts of nation-state-making after the Asia-Pacific War on the other hand. The third section shows that historians have contributed to society in various ways from writing textbooks for Japanese readers to narrating polyphonic histories through talking to people otherwise whose memories might not be recorded.</p>
