The Tongking Gulf Through History (Encounters with Asia)
"An informative picture of trade, economic, and political relationships throughout the Tongking Gulf over an extended period of time: approximately two thousand years. The well-researched essays each contribute fresh insights into the subject of maritime trade and premodern global connections in the region."—Erica Brindley, Pennsylvania State University"So little has been written about the periods that this work covers, and no one has ever taken a regional approach like this. Hopefully this volume will inspire people to look more closely at this region and these periods."—Liam C. Kelley, University of Hawai'i
