Reviews

Pearson has sketched a distinctive legal environment among many others in the colonial world at the turn of the nineteenth century and has shown that the treaty port is the most useful lens through which to compare Siam with other parts of colonial Asia. * Journal of the Siam Society *


Pearson has sketched a distinctive legal environment among many others in the colonial world at the turn of the nineteenth century and has shown that the treaty port is the most useful lens through which to compare Siam with other parts of colonial Asia. * Journal of the Siam Society/New Mandala * Sovereign Necropolis is crisply written, even lively; despite the work's stakes in area studies literature and sociocultural theory, the discussion is accessible for non-subject-matter experts. * The Social History of Medicine *
