Sutherland, Heather (1974). "Notes on Java's Regent Families: Part II". Indonesia. 17 (17): 1–43. doi: 10.2307/3350770. hdl: 1813/53573. JSTOR 3350770. In Seaways and Gatekeepers, trade provides the integrating framework for local and regional histories that cover more than 300 years, from the late 16th century to the beginning of the 20th, when new technologies and changing markets signaled Western dominance. The introduction considers theories from the social sciences and economics which can help liberate writers from dependence on states as narrative frameworks. Southeast Asian specialists can learn from this book, which ignores conventional geographic and temporal boundaries. It will also appeal to those working on wider themes such as global history, state formation, the evolution of markets and anthropology. This is a scholarly tour de force : a brilliant historical exploration of the lively trading world of the islands of the Sulu, Sulawesi and Arafura seas, a region in Southeast Asia that, for centuries, poured forth exotic products to the capitals of the world. It distils a lifetime of research into a revealing account of a vitally important part of our planet." – James Fox , Australian National University

This work, by Geoff Wade, identifies all of 3000+ references to Southeast Asia contained within the Ming Dynasty reign annals, and provides them to readers in English-language translation. The database is indexed for place- and personal names. In addition to the more obvious polities of maritime and mainland Southeast Asia, the database also includes references to many Yunnan Tai polities that have since been incorporated within the Chinese state.
