Book First Edition
Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Protected by jungle-covered mountain ranges, the lands ruled by the Burmese Court were for a long time jealously guarded by kings who chose to remain aloof from the outside world. With the coming of the Age of Steam access to the sequestered kingdom was much easier, and when it fell prey to British imperialism the country was 'opened up'. Nevertheless, soon after becoming an independent republic the country once more pursued a policy of limited foreign contact. One consequence of such geographical and cultural insulation is that most outsiders are uninformed about the country now known as Myanmar. This anthology contains sequences of fascinating information covering almost four centuries of Burmese history. The passages are drawn from travelers' accounts, many of which are rare documents or books that are difficult to come by. Tourists, academics, and students alike will find a wealth of interesting detail in its pages. 342 pp., 23 pp. illustrations incl. 1 p. colour. Size: 20 x 13 cm.

"In this book, the author examines the rural history of Java during Dutch times and describes how the peasant protest movements were uncoordinated, each breaking out in response to some local initiative - be Islamic revivalism, a charismatic leader, or self-consciously political motives. Despite these different catalysts, the author argues, such movements were remarkably similar in ideology, organisation and development, thus making it possible to treat them as a concatenation which produced the seed of social change."

Book First Edition
Hard bound. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. First Edition. Textiles have always been an integral part of the cultures of Southeast Asia. As a dynamic art form, threads woven and worn often provide a revealing insight into the past and present lives of the weavers and wearers. Throughout the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, a diverse sea of textiles is found in shops, markets, and villages. Although traditional textiles have been well documented, no study has focused exclusively on contemporary production within this dynamic tradition. This book maps contemporary areas of production and markets, and documents a cross-section of current practices and examples of tie and dye weaving in Indonesia. Aimed at both the textile student and the general reader, it provides a fascinating introduction to the diversity of the textiles of each of the main islands as well as useful guidance on their identification and classification. 107 pp., over 110 plates, including 64 in colour, 13 maps, glossary, bibliography, index. Size: 25 x 19 cm.
