Reviews

'In assiduity and breadth, this book surpasses even Prof. Li's now classic Nguyen Cochinchina. As a meticulous analysis of the intersection between external and domestic economies, A Maritime Vietnam provides not only for Vietnam, but for the region a model  longitudinal inquiry into a fundamental but substantially neglected theme. It will enhance Prof. Li's reputation as one of the most  original scholars ever to have worked in pre-colonial Southeast Asia history.' Victor Lieberman, University of Michigan
