Product Description Historians of Southeast Asia have traditionally preferred to write about politics and culture rather than economics and ecology, and where they have looked at the history of agriculture they have most often concentrated on cash crops like sugar, coffee and rubber which figure prominently in colonial records. Smallholders and stockbreeders, by contrast, provides a rare survey of the history of foodcrop farming, and a unique look at the history of animal husbandry, in the Southeast Asian region. About the Author Peter Boomgaard is a senior researcher at KITLV and professor of environmental history of Southeast Asia at the University of Amsterdam. David Henley is a researcher at KITLV. Other contributors include Greg Bankoff, Martine Barwegen, Jan Wisseman Christie, William Gervase Clarence-Smith, Daniel Doeppers, Mark Dufumier, Roy Ellen, R. D. Hill, Monica Janowski, Jean-Franois le Coq, and Guy F. Trébuil.
