These compendia built on information found in earlier publications of the same sort, supplemented by new details provided by traders and travellers with first-hand knowledge of different parts of the world. This article examines knowledge about Singapore and the Straits region circulating in Europe between circa 1511 and 1819, focusing on compendia entries touching on the Straits region, especially Singapore, Melaka, Johor, and Bintan. It traces the evolution of compendium knowledge as it moves through cycles of accumulation, transformation, and de-contextualization.","PeriodicalId":39524,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society","volume":"95 1","pages":"1 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42712035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Seaways and Gatekeepers: Trade and State in the Eastern Archipelagos of Southeast Asia, c.1600–c.1906 by Heather Sutherland (review)","authors":"S. Farram","doi":"10.1353/ras.2021.0043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ras.2021.0043","url":null,"abstract":"In this epic work, Heather Sutherland brings decades of scholarship to bear on her examination of three centuries of trade on the periphery of Asia. Many of the communities involved were virtually unknown to the rest of the world, yet the sea and forest products, and other goods they provided were prized commodities. The eastern archipelagos of Sutherland’s title are the island chains spreading from Sulu and Mindanao in the north, Bali in the southwest, New Guinea in the southeast, and the islands in between. Most of these places lie to the east of the ‘Indianised’ states of Southeast Asia but were linked to them by trade from an early date. In turn, this connected the eastern archipelagos to the trade routes between the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal, two of the most important ‘seaways’ of the title. ‘Gatekeepers’ feature less prominently in the narrative, although it is stated that the term refers to those who skimmed benefits from trade through provision of safe exchange sites, which was important in the early period (p. 441). That definition, however, would appear applicable also to various entrepots that operated throughout the period of Sutherland’s study, from the Melaka sultanate to British Singapore. Seaways and Gatekeepers builds on the pioneering work on early Southeast Asian trade by authors such as O. W. Wolters1 and Anthony Reid.2 Sutherland also references more recent regional histories, such as Hans Hägerdal’s major study of early colonial Timor.3 These examples are, however, the tip of the iceberg, as the seventy-five-page bibliography testifies. In this respect, I applaud the use of footnotes rather than endnotes or some other device, as this provides maximum ease for identifying sources used for any passage. The scholarship required to assemble this array of sources is formidable, but it is the seeming ease with which Sutherland utilises them to afford the reader a better understanding of the oftencomplex eastern archipelagos trading networks that is truly impressive. Many of the peoples and places Sutherland refers to have not found their way into most","PeriodicalId":39524,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society","volume":"94 1","pages":"230 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48732489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
