Colour and black and white illustrations, 408pp, index, paperback. Historians rely on Singapore's strategic position to explain its great success as a royal trading port in the 14th century, and as a British colony after 1819. What, then, accounts for the many centuries when it seemed not to thrive, and was seen in the words of John Crawfurd as "only the occasional resort of pirates"? This seeming paradox sits uneasily at the heart of Singapore historiography, and over time historians have suggested a variety of ways to resolve it. This volume collects studies about Singapore before 1800, bringing together different efforts across the 20th century at reconstructing Singapore's "missing years". Some authors have found additional details by scouring ancient and early modern texts for references to Singapore, and by reading well-known classics such as the Sejarah Melayu against the grain. Others have built narratives that bridge preand post-1800 perspectives by positioning Singapore within long-term global history. These efforts have yielded a much richer understanding of Singapore's changing fortunes before 1800. The articles collected in this volume represent key milestones in this effort. Many are hard to locate, and two pieces are translated from Dutch to English for the first time. They are presented here with an introduction from historian Kwa Chong Guan. …

The present anthology of selected articles from the eighteen volumes of the journal of the Greater India Society is a long overdue publication. The comprehensive foreword and introduction by its editor Kwa Chong-Guan provide an excellent critical analysis of he aims and history of the greater India society, inaugurated at Calcutta in 1926, and of its journal published from 1936 to 1959. While the JGIS has been criticized for having also become an organ of Indian nationalist attempts at the height of the Indian Independence movement, it contained a considerable number of historiographically still relevant articles, such as those by D.C. Sircar and H.B. Sarkar.…
