Acknowledgements
This book could not have been written without the inspiration of my undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Hull over the past thirty years in our encounters in lectures, seminars and supervision sessions, and now at the University of Leeds. It has been my privilege, and an enormous personal and scholarly benefit to advise research students on a range of social-science and humanities subjects in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. I have used some of those insights in this book, and I trust that those with whom I have worked also gained something from the experience. In addition, there have been important influences on what I have taught and written from senior scholars of Southeast Asia; three individuals whose work has been of value in my teaching and research deserve special mention – Professors Wim Wertheim, Hans-Dieter Evers and Richard Robison. My sincere thanks to them for making the study of social change in Southeast Asia rather more stimulating and lively than it otherwise would have been. There are many others from whose work I have benefited, but it is the scope of their contribution and the comparative range of my chosen three
which I wish to acknowledge. I also pay tribute to my supervisor during my student days, the late Professor Mervyn Jaspan, who introduced me to the emerging literature in Indonesian sociology and convinced me of the importance of combining sociological analysis with anthropological and historical insight. He advised early on in my career that I read Thomas Stamford Raffles’s History of Java (1965 [1817]), Wertheim’s Indonesian Society in Transition (1959), Leslie Palmier’s Social Status and Power in Java (1960), and Clifford Geertz’s Agricultural Involution (1963a), Peddlers and Princes (1963b) and The Social History of an Indonesian Town (1965), in quick succession – an interesting juxtaposition for a young student. I also recognize the contribution, perhaps unwittingly, which my colleagues in the Centre for South-East Asian Studies at Hull have made to this book. Working in a multidisciplinary programme enables you to see problems and issues from others’ perspectives, though I have also journeyed through several disciplines myself. I started my university career as a geographer, moved into sociology in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then embraced anthropology and rural development studies.
I have also flirted with environmental and tourism issues. In this cross-disciplinary connection I should draw attention again to the Hull University-Universiti Malaya text edited by Mohamed Halib and Tim Huxley (1996b), which was designed to take stock of the achievements of the main social science and humanities disciplines in their attempts to understand the complexities of Southeast Asia. My present book draws on material from my earlier overview of sociological literature contained in that book, though it has been heavily revised and updated. In my introductory discussion of Southeast Asian sociology I have adapted material from Chapter 1 of my and William Wilder’s The Modern Anthropology of South-East Asia (2003: 1–24), where it has particular relevance to sociological issues. In my chapters on ethnicity, gender and urbanization I also make reference to some observations in my Anthropology and Development in South-East Asia (1999). I must also offer my heartfelt thanks to my colleague, Dr Michael Parnwell, for permission to use some of his excellent photographs as illustrative material, and to Dr AVM Horton for yet another carefully compiled index.
