This collection of essays collects the leading scholars on British colonial thought in Southeast Asia to consider the question: what was the relationship between liberalism and the British Empire in Southeast Asia? The empire builders in Southeast Asia: Lord Minto, William Farquhar, John Leyden, Thomas Stamford Raffles, and John Crawfurd - to name a few - were fervent believers in a liberal free trade order in Southeast Asia. Many recent studies of British imperialism, and European imperialism more generally, have addressed how the anti-imperialist tradition of Eighteenth century liberalism was increasingly intertwined with the discourses of empire, freedom, race and economics in the nineteenth century. This collection extends those studies to look at the impact of liberalism on. British colonialism in Southeast Asia and early nineteenth century Southeast Asia we see some of the first attempts at developing multicultural democracies within the colonies, experiments in free trade and attempts to use free trade to prevent war and colonisation.

"In this volume a number of friends and colleagues pay tribute to Nicholas Tarling, a distinguished scholar who has spent a career illuminating the impact and legacy of European power on Southeast Asia. The contributions range widely, from the early modern societies of Borneo, to the rise and decline of European imperialism, to twentieth century expressions of nationhood and nationalism. In his own work Tarling creates a blend of local, international, cultural and intellectual history. This volume tries to do the same, as the contributors tell stories full of incident and ideas."

Textual Empires explores the tension that existed between the ideals of freedom and realities of colonialism in 19th century Southeast Asia. In doing so, it challenges long established notions of the history that British empire-builders wrote about in the early 19th century. Mary Quilty unpacks five early British histories that even today are still regarded as the foundation stones of so much Southeast Asian studies - anthropology, sociology, linguistics and history. Quilty argues that not only did these objective texts serve specific commercial and political agendas but they employed their own poetics and rhetorical devices. In a sweeping analysis that ranges from racial theory to the sexual biases of the anti-slavery movement, from cannibalism to the contract, this book teases out the assumptions and influences that constituted Western perceptions of Southeast Asia.
