“The Story of Southeast Asia” Book Talk By Eric Thompson & Surain Subramaniam

November 13 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Nov. 13th @ 7pm EST | Nov. 14 @ 8am Singapore Time

 

Bringing Southeast Asia Home is delighted to welcome Eric C. Thompson to present on his new book The Story of Southeast Asia. Comments will be provided by Surain Subramaniam from UNC-Asheville.

 

The oldest figurative cave paintings in the world are found on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Hand stencils and animals painted some 45,000 years ago attest to a long history of human creativity. The Story of Southeast Asia tells how the peoples of the region have crafted their diverse societies and cultures over thousands of years. Southeast Asia has been a remarkable crossroads of global connections for millennia. Whereas other regions have been defined by centralizing forces, Southeast Asia’s story is one of complex networks of trade, ideas, and social relationships. Southeast Asians have created, localized, and remade their own cultural values by drawing on influences from around the world.
