The late O. W. Wolters is regarded by many as the most influential historian of early Southeast Asia writing in the English-speaking world. He served in the Malayan Civil Service from 1938 to 1957 after completing his first degree at Oxford University. When the Japanese occupied Malaysia in 1942, he was imprisoned for three years. He embarked on his academic career as a Southeast Asian scholar in 1957, when he was nearly fifty years old, and begin teaching at Cornell University in 1964, where he developed the influential concept of "mandala," a paradigm of the premodern Southeast Asian kingdom.

又是在清华图书馆借到的Uris馆的书。这本书写了东南亚前殖民历史中的政治、国家关系(著名的Mandala政体的来源)、文学、文化等等等,内容略杂乱。好在作者在结论中说自己不是那种以某个现象作为研究目标的人,而是以研究“研究的过程”为目标的人,算是给这本书的杂乱圆了过去。他提出一种研究东南亚地区的观点:反对将东南亚国家类型化,而是要研究多样性和nuance,认为东南亚之所以值得研究,原因在于它的多样性和多样性之间的渐变。
