This is a book about books, which looks at the writings of Western colonial administrators, company-men and map-makers who wrote about Southeast Asia in the 19th century. In the course of their information-gathering they had also framed the people of Southeast Asia in a manner that gave rise to Orientalist racial stereotypes that would be used again and again. Data-Gathering in Colonial Southeast Asia 1800-1900: Framing the Other revisits the era of colonial data-collecting to demonstrate the workings of the imperial echo chamber, and how in the discourse of 19th century colonial-capitalism data was effectively weaponized to serve the interests of Empire.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56280825561432,"sku":"9781041177937","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041177937_8127b346-9e0c-439c-9162-edad42b18bc4.jpg?v=1778680882","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/data-gathering-in-colonial-southeast-asia-1800-1900","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
