Early interactions between South and Southeast Asia : reflections on cross-cultural exchange / edited by Pierre-Yves Manguin, A. Mani and Geoff Wade New Delhi : Manohar Publishers & Distributors , 2011. xxxi, 514p. ; 26cm. Nalanda-Sriwijaya series This book takes stock of the results of some two decades of intensive archaeological research carried out on both sides of the Bay of Bengal, in combination with renewed approaches to textual sources and to art history. To improve our understanding of the trans-cultural process commonly referred to as Indianisation, it brings together specialists of both India and Southeast Asia, in a fertile inter-disciplinary confrontation. Most of the essays reappraise the millennium-long historiographic no-man's land during which exchanges between the two shores of the Bay of Bengal led, among other processes, to the Indianisation of those parts of the region that straddled the main routes of exchange. Some essays follow up these processes into better known ""classical"" times or even into modern times, showing that the localisation process of Indian themes has long remained at work, allowing local societies to produce their own social space and express their own ethos.
