Southeast Asian Sources: Archaeological Anthropology: Exploratory Essays in Ethno-Cultural Reconstruction

By Hugh M. Lewis

Southeast Asia is a region defined on a geo-political map as well as a region of time and cultural development, history and civilization, knowledge and mind, often referenced through the same maps. We can ask: Will the real Southeast Asia please stand up? We then can have possibly an infinite number of Southeast Asians standing up, each representing a pattern somehow unique and different from the rest, and yet still sharing much in common with many others. What creates a focus for our studies of Southeast Asia--is it the triangulation between alternative perspectives, and systematic accounting for the interpretive parallax that occurs as a result? Is there a final consensus possible, or just a qualitatively better comprehension of the problems and the possible alternative solutions and answers?
