Nalanda, Srivijaya and Beyond: Re-exploring Buddhist Art in Asia ed. by Gauri Parimoo Krishnan (review)

of recent ideas on the decolonization of Southeast Asia during the Cold War would have been welcome in chapter 19 or 20. But given the extensive scope of the book, this is a mere quibble. With A History of Southeast Asia, Reid has set the standard for academic textbooks on the region’s history. He includes an impressive list of references and further readings, another reason that this will appeal to readers new to the study of the region. And while his book is clearly focused on Southeast Asia, Reid effectively illustrates the region’s extra-regional linkages. His book will thus be of interest to scholars and students of world and global history.
