Book Description
Sekalipun sering dianggap sebagai karya pertama sastera klasik Melayu oleh kaum sarjana yang meminati ilmu pengajian Melayu, dan tela’ah demi tela’ah telah dilakukan terhadapnya sejak pertengahan abad ke-19, namun Hikayat Raja Pasai, belum pernah dikaji secara mendalam oleh sejarawan. Penerbitan edisi terbaru karya yang melakar zaman awal kedatangan Islam di Sumatera Utara oleh Prof. Emeritus Datuk Dr. Ahmat Adam ini adalah percubaan terkini beliau untuk mengetengahkan beberapa tafsiran baru mengenai karya klasik Melayu yang belum pernah diungkapkan oleh mana-mana kajian; satu daripadanya ialah aspek tasawuf di dalam karya itu.

Book Description
Traditional literature, or 'the deed of the reed pen' as it was called by its creators, is not only the most valuable part of the cultural heritage of the Malay people, but also a shared legacy of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. Malay culture during its heyday saw the entire Universe as a piece of literature written by the Creator with the Sublime Pen on the Guarded Tablet. Literature was not just the creation of a scribe, but a scribe himself, imprinting words on the 'sheet of memory' and thus shaping human personality. This book, the first comprehensive survey of traditional Malay literature in English since 1939, embraces more than a millennium of Malay letters from the vague data of the seventh century up to the early beginnings of the modern literatures in the late nineteenth century. The long path trodden by traditional Malay literature is viewed in historical and theoretical perspectives as a development of integral system, caused by cultural and religious changes, primarily by gradual Islamization. This changing system considered in the entirety of its genres and works, is seen both externally and internally: from the point of view of modern scholarship and through the examination of indigenous concepts of literary creativity, poetics and aesthetics. The book not only repesents an original study based on a specific historico-theoretical approach, but it is also a complete reference-work and an indispensable manual for students.

Book Description
This handbook explores the ways in which Islam, as one of the fastest growing religions, has become a global faith for both Muslims and non-Muslims in Southeast Asia with its universality, inclusivity, and shared features with other Islamic expressions and manifestations. It offers an up-to-date, wide-ranging, comprehensive, concise, and readable introduction to the field of Islam in Southeast Asia. With specific themes of pertinent contemporary relevance, the contributions by experts in the field provide fresh insights into the roles of states, societies, scholars, social movements, political parties, economic institutions, sacred sites, and other forces that structured the faith over many centuries. The handbook is structured in three parts: Muslim Global Circulations Marginal Narratives Refashioning Pieties This handbook stands out as a single and synergistic reference work that explores the ebb and flow of Islam seeking to decenter many existing assumptions about it in Southeast Asia. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and policymakers working on Islam, Muslims, and their interactions with other communities in a plural setting.

Book Description
This book brings something new in both dimension and detail to our understanding of Southeast Asia from the first to the fourteenth centuries. It puts Southeast Asia in the context of the international trade that stretched from Rome to China and draws upon a wide range of recent scholarship in history and the social sciences to redefine the role that this trade played in the evolution of the classical states of Southeast Asia. By examining the sources of Southeast Asia's classical era with the tools of modern economic history, the author shows that well-developed socioeconomic and political networks existed in Southeast Asia before significant foreign economic penetration took place. With the growth of interest in Southeast Asian commodities and the refocusing of the major East-West commercial routes through the region during the early centuries of the Christian era, internal conditions within Southeast Asia adjusted to accommodate increased external contacts. Hall takes the view that Southeast Asia's response to international trade was a reflection of preexisting patterns of trade and statecraft. In the forty years since Coede's monumental work The Indianized States of Southeast Asia was published, a great deal of archaeological and epigraphical work has been done and new interpretations advanced. By integrating new theoretical constructs, recent archaeological finds and interpretations, and his own informed reading and research, Kenneth R. Hall puts his historical narrative on a large canvas and treats areas not previously brought together for discussion along comparative lines. Like Coedes' work, his book will be important as a basic text for the teaching of early Southeast Asian history.

Book Description
This book sets out to open up the space for interpretation of history and politics in Aceh which is now in a state of armed rebellion against the Indonesian government. It lays out a groundwork for analysing how female agency is constituted in Aceh, in a complex interplay of indigenous matrifocality, Islamic belief and practices, state terror, and political violence. Analysts of the current conflict in Aceh have tended to focus on present events. Siapno provides a historical analysis of power, co-optation, and resistance in Aceh and links it to broader comparative studies of gender, Islam, and the state in Muslim communities throughout the world.

Book Description
A new picture of China's rise since the Age of Exploration and its historical impact on the modern world. The establishment of the Great Ming dynasty in 1368 was a monumental event in world history. A century before Columbus, Beijing sent a series of diplomatic missions across the South China Sea and Indian Ocean that paved the way for China's first modern global era. 1368 maps China's ascendance from the embassies of Admiral Zheng He to the arrival of European mariners and the shock of the Opium Wars. In Ali Humayun Akhtar's new picture of world history, China's current rise evokes an earlier epoch, one that sheds light on where Beijing is heading today. Spectacular accounts in Persian and Ottoman Turkish describe palaces of silk and jade in Beijing's Forbidden City. Malay legends recount stories of Chinese princesses arriving in Melaka with gifts of porcelain and gold. During Europe's Age of Exploration, Iberian mariners charted new passages to China, which the Dutch and British East India Companies transformed into lucrative tea routes. But during the British Industrial Revolution, the rise of steam engines and factories allowed the export of the very commodities once imported from China. By the end of the Opium Wars and the arrival of Commodore Perry in Japan, Chinese and Japanese reformers called for their own industrial revolutions to propel them into the twentieth century. What has the world learned from China since the Ming, and how did China reemerge in the 1970s as a manufacturing superpower? Akhtar's book provides much-needed context for understanding China's rise today and the future of its connections with both the West and a resurgent Asia.

Book Description
Sulalat u’s-Salatin atau Sejarah Melayu, bersama-sama dengan Hikayat Hang Tuah adalah dua buah karya klasik agung orang Melayu yang tidak perlu ditekankan peri pentingnya dalam sejarah kebudayaan bangsa itu. Dihasilkan pada abad ke-16 dan ke-17, karya yang asalnya ditulis berperingkat-peringkat dengan berdasarkan tradisi lisan, masing-masing telah menjadi rujukan utama dalam pengajian sejarah dan kebudayaan bangsa Melayu. Kendatipun banyak orang menganggap Sejarah Melayu sebagai sebuah karya sejarah yang bona fide, dan ramai pula yang menganggap Hikayat Hang Tuah adalah epik sejarah yang benar-benar meriwayatkan petualangan Laksamana Melaka yang hidup antara abad ke-15 dan ke-16, namun usaha membicarakan dua teks Melayu klasik ini tidak pernah dibuat secara kritis untuk menentukan dengan pasti sejauh mana Sejarah Melayu dapat dianggap sebagai sumber sejarah yang boleh dipercayai, dan sejauh mana pula manusia yang bernama Hang Tuah itu benar-benar wujud dalam sejarah. Mungkinkah kewujudan Hang Tuah itu hanya berasaskan kepercayaan banyak orang, setelah terpengaruh oleh Hikayat Hang Tuah yang pernah tersebar secara meluas di serata pelosok dunia Melayu semenjak tidak kurang daripada empat abad yang lalu? Buku Antara Sejarah dan Mitos yang bernada kritis ini ditulis oleh seorang sejarawan yang cuba merungkai persoalan kebolehpercayaan Sejarah Melayu sebagai sumber sejarah yang utuh, dan juga menganalisis secara kritis kewujudan Hang Tuah dalam sejarah silam Melaka bagi menentukan sama ada figur ini adalah benar-benar tokoh sejarah ataupun semata-mata tokoh yang dimitoskan sahaja.
