Why read it?

1 author picked Slavery, Bondage, and Dependency in Southeast Asia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book became the starting point for many publications on slavery in Southeast Asia. It is a collection of essays that not only provides us with an overview of the entire region over the past 700 years but also suggests how we can study the multifarious forms of slavery and bondage in the region in a comparative manner. Although almost forty years old it is still indispensable reading for any course on slavery in Southeast Asia, including my own course.

From Ulbe's list on slavery in Asia.
