Download or read book Majapahit written by Herald van der Linde and published by Monsoon Books. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover Majapahit, the mighty empire in Southeast Asia that many have never heard of. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Majapahit kingdom reigned supreme in eastern Java, and its influence stretched far and wide, throughout present-day Indonesia, parts of the Malay peninsula and the island of Tumasek, now Singapore. Majapahit's army famously repelled Kublai Khan's invasion, and its formidable navy humbled even the renowned Portuguese mariners. Walk the bustling streets of Majapahit, a melting pot of aristocratic Javanese, shaven-head Brahmins, hermits in bark cloth, widows dressed in white, and Chinese, Persian and Arab traders. Discover beautiful temples and imposing palaces, and markets brimming with goods from all over Asia. At the heart of Majapahit's story are eccentric kings and queens embroiled in bloody family feuds, and a tipsy court scribe who has the good sense to write down everything he sees. Witness the drama of royal intrigues, murders, revenge and war. This is not just the story of an empire's rise and fall, it is an exploration of a society rich in religious diversity, social tolerance and artistic achievement, and a society - much like Indonesia today - which must navigate its way in the challenging tapestry of Chinese and Southeast Asian geopolitics.

Book Synopsis Rise of the Majapahit Empire by : Ken Van Neijenhoff
Download or read book Rise of the Majapahit Empire written by Ken Van Neijenhoff and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An asymmetrical dagger, known as the kris, that Dylan was given as a present knew no rest. It manipulated the young antique dealer so that he had to seek advice for himself from a connoisseur. On the island of Bali, Empu was the one able to interpret the message of the ancient kris. The colorful life from the middle classical period of Indonesia will be exposed by the adventures of the original owner of the old kris. In this story the value and origin of the magical kris is mostly central. The reader is led through the history of a lost civilization of the oldest land inhabited by man, now known as the 'Emerald Belt'. Ken van Neijenhoff (born in 1950) has written this novel as a tribute to his native Indonesia. Although he has lived there only for the first eight years of his life, he later took interest in his homeland. As an amateur writer some of his novels have been released.

Download or read book Indian Ocean Histories written by Rila Mukherjee and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a global history of the Indian Ocean and focuses on a holistic perspective of the worlds of water. It builds on maritime historian Michael Naylor Pearson’s works, his unorthodox approach and strong influence on the study of the Indian Ocean in viewing the oceanic space as replete with human experiences and not as an artefact of empire or as the theatre of European commercial and imperial transits focused only on trade. This interdisciplinary volume presents several ways of writing the history of the Indian Ocean. The chapters explore the changing nature of Indian Ocean history through diverse themes, including state and capital, regional identities, maritime networking, South Asian immigrants, Bay of Bengal linkages, the East India Company, Indian seamen, formal and informal collaboration in imperial networking, scientific transfers, pearling, the issues of colonial copyright, customs, excise and port cities. The volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of global history, modern history, maritime history, medieval history, Indian history, colonial history and world history.
Book Synopsis Majapahit Terracotta by : Soedarmadji J.H. Damais
Download or read book Majapahit Terracotta written by Soedarmadji J.H. Damais and published by BAB Publishing Indonesia. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Majapahit empire (13th to 16th century) was based in the contemporary regency of Mojokerta, East Java, Indonesia. Majapahit reached its peak during the reign of Rajasanagara, popularly known as Hayam Wuruk (1350-1389). Some of the brick structures of the ancient city, including gateways, temples and pools, can be still be seen today around the village of Trowulan in Mojokerto, reflecting the architecture that once defined the place. Besides stone statues and inscriptions, this mighty kingdom also left testimonies of everyday life in the form of terracotta artifacts. Not much is known about these artifacts, and what is known is complicated by the many fakes and replicas found in the antique markets. Some of them are in the shapes of humans, animals and mythological creatures. Their functions were diverse, ranging from architectural elements to garden furniture and household utensils. Majapahit Terracotta is a guide for collectors of Majapahit terracotta, to enable them to better distinguish authentic pieces from fakes or replicas. It will provide readers with insight into the exciting variety of this little known art form, drawing upon selected items in the collection which the author has carefully assembled over the past thirty years.
Book Synopsis New Perspectives on the History and Historiography of Southeast Asia by : Michael Arthur Aung-Thwin
Download or read book New Perspectives on the History and Historiography of Southeast Asia written by Michael Arthur Aung-Thwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-13 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique "old–new" treatment, this book presents new perspectives on several important topics in Southeast Asian history and historiography. Based on original, primary research, it reinterprets and revises several long-held conventional views in the field, covering the period from the "classical" age to the twentieth century. Chapters share the approach to Southeast Asian history and historiography: namely, giving "agency" to Southeast Asia in all research, analysis, writing, and interpretation. The book honours John K. Whitmore, a senior historian in the field of Southeast Asian history today, by demonstrating the scope and breadth of the scholar’s influence on two generations of historians trained in the West. In addition to providing new information and insights on the field of Southeast Asia, this book stimulates new debate on conventional ideas, evidence, and approaches to its teaching, research, and understanding. It addresses, and in many cases, revises specific, critically important topics in Southeast Asian history on which much conventional knowledge of Southeast Asia has long been based. It is of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Studies, as well as Asian History.

Download or read book Indonesia written by John Bresnan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia is in the midst of an epic transition as it moves from decades of authoritarian government to a new era of democratic opening, from years of secular government to a time of struggle over the role of Islam in public life, and from the breakdown of a 'miracle' economy to a search for resilience in the face of global forces. In this timely work, leading scholars analyze the causes of the social, political, and economic crises that erupted in Indonesia in the late 1990s, the responses of the elite and civil society, and the prospects for continuing reform. In the process, they explore such issues as the relevance of the nation-state in an age of globalization, the role of Islam in politics and violence, the strengths and weaknesses of a negotiated route to democratic governance, the relationship of corruption and structural reform to economic growth, and the prospects for stability in Southeast Asia. The first book to grapple with the scale and complexity of this historic transition, this work offers a clear and compelling introduction to the Indonesian experience for students with an interest in the problems of post-colonial states, to scholars in comparative Asian studies, and to anyone seeking a serious yet accessible introduction to the world's largest Islamic democracy.

Book Synopsis Writing the Past, Inscribing the Future by : Nancy K. Florida
Download or read book Writing the Past, Inscribing the Future written by Nancy K. Florida and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located at the juncture of literature, history, and anthropology, Writing the Past, Inscribing the Future charts a strategy of how one might read a traditional text of non-Western historical literature in order to generate, with it, an opening for the future. This book does so by taking seriously a haunting work of historical prophecy inscribed in the nineteenth century by a royal Javanese exile--working through this writing of a colonized past to suggest the reconfiguration of the postcolonial future that this history itself apparently intends. After introducing the colonial and postcolonial orientalist projects that would fix the meaning of traditional writing in Java, Nancy K. Florida provides a nuanced translation of this particular traditional history, a history composed in poetry as the dream of a mysterious exile. She then undertakes a richly textured reading of the poem that discloses how it manages to escape the fixing of "tradition." Adopting a dialogic strategy of reading, Florida writes to extend--as the work's Javanese author demands--this history's prophetic potential into a more global register. Babad Jaka Tingkir, the historical prophecy that Writing the Past, Inscribing the Future translates and reads, is uniquely suited for such a study. Composing an engaging history of the emergence of Islamic power in central Java around the turn of the sixteenth century, Babad Jaka Tingkir was written from the vantage of colonial exile to contest the more dominant dynastic historical traditions of nineteenth-century court literature. Florida reveals how this history's episodic form and focus on characters at the margins of the social order work to disrupt the genealogical claims of conventional royal historiography--thus prophetically to open the possibility of an alternative future.
Book Synopsis Critical Reflections on Religion and Media in Contemporary Bali by : Richard Fox
Download or read book Critical Reflections on Religion and Media in Contemporary Bali written by Richard Fox and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars of religion have always worked closely with media of one kind or another, from sacred books and archaic languages to cassette-sermons and the Internet. Yet comparatively little attention has been paid to the ways we actually use these and other media in the pursuit of historical inquiry. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research conducted on the Indonesian island of Bali, this book offers a critique of the media-related assumptions underpinning fields as diverse in their subject matter and approach as the history of religions, British cultural studies and Old Javanese philology. Its central contention is that more nuanced attention to problems of media will have serious implications for how we think about the study of religions, past and present.
Book Synopsis The Last Stand of Asian Autonomies by : Anthony Reid
Download or read book The Last Stand of Asian Autonomies written by Anthony Reid and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-09-12 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last century of the exuberantly diverse independence of Asia's smaller states, before the colonial embrace of 1860-1900, has been dismissed as a doomed period of stagnation and reaction by colonial, nationalist and Marxist historians alike. But the newest writing, represented here by 17 leading specialists on the different states of Southeast Asia and Choson Korea, has discovered in these states an astonishing laboratory of autonomous attempts to grapple with the pressures of modernity.
Book Synopsis Historical Atlas of Indonesia by : Robert Cribb
Download or read book Historical Atlas of Indonesia written by Robert Cribb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering volume traces the history of the region which became Indonesia, from early times to the present day, in over three hundred specially drawn full-colour maps with detailed accompanying text.

Beginning with the geographical and ecological forces which have shaped the physical form of the archipelago, the Historical Atlas of Indonesia goes on to chart early human migration and the changing distribution of ethnic groups. It traces the kaleidoscopic pattern of states in early Indonesia and their gradual incorporation into the Netherlands Indies and eventually into the Republic of Indonesia.
