Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an all-encompassing accounting of the traditions, history, and culture of an enigmatic group: sea gypsies. Living throughout Southeast Asia for centuries, the seafaring skills and marine lifestyles of these peoples have made them a timeless embodiment of adventure and freedom. Study of these nomadic seaborne communities uncovers a fascinating entanglement of their oceanic culture with nomadic traditions and the influences of colonialism, modernization, globalization, and the economies of Southeast Asia. This work gives a unique perspective on the global present within the context of the past, weaving a multilayered narrative of the lives and livelihoods of these coastal wanderers. Through deft consideration of language, kinship, history, and subsistence strategies, the author provokes reflection on broader concerns of Southeast Asian maritime history and the morality of global economic development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334737213_0
