Descripción

Water has been a fundamental force in shaping the histories of Southeast Asia, influencing everything from trade routes to agricultural practices. Through an exploration of rain, rivers, and seas, this work delves into how these water bodies have acted as connectors and barriers throughout the region. By drawing on a wide range of historical narratives and case studies, Peter Boomgaard offers readers an in-depth examination of water's pivotal role in the development and transformation of societies.

As he traverses through centuries of history, Boomgaard illustrates the interdependence between communities and their watery environments. He uncovers not just the physical impact of water, but also its cultural significance and the ways it has inspired local myths, economies, and politics. With engaging insights, the book provides a comprehensive look at how the presence and absence of water have shaped the destinies of countless lives across this diverse and vibrant region.
