PDF-(READ)-Sea Nomads of Southeast Asia: From the Past to the Present

Sea nomads have been part of the economic and political landscape of Southeast Asia for millennia They have played many roles over the longuedurée in certain periods proving central to the ability of landbased polities to generate wealth by sourcing valuable maritime commodities facilitating trade forming a naval force to secure and protect vital sea lanes and providing crucial connectivity They have existed in complex codified relations with different sedentary populations as pirates guardians of the sealanes merchants and explorers Paradoxically as modern states emerged the seanomads became progressively marginalized and impoverished   For many years the sea nomads were assumed to be without history and even without archaeology This has proven far from the case and recent archaeological findings allow us to more closely describe sea nomadism from the Pleistocene through the early Holocene up to the present Integrating these findings with the latest in historical research linguistics ethnography and historical genetics allows us to better understand seanomad ways of life over a scale of millennia and to appreciate the diversity and flexibility of this seanomad world This in turn enriches our understanding of nomadism and mobility as ways of life more generally  and of the sea not only as a landscape of resources but as a home and spiritual landscape  .
