Summary: "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."--BOOK JACKET.

"The present volume is based on papers presented at a workshop on the history of agriculture and animal husbandry in Southeast Asia ... A panel entitled 'History of foodcrop production and animal husbandry in Southeast Asia' ... took place in London on 6 and 7 September 2001" -- Preface.
