In this collection of essays, all of which deal with Asia, we argue that there are good reasons to envisage them as various dimensions of the same networks. Nevertheless, it is fairly rare to find trade, cities and kinship relations as intimately linked as we have portrayed them in this volume, because they are usually classified within different sub-disciplines of history, whose practitioners are all too often not inclined to talk to people outside their own field. The Australian born historian Heather Sutherland, who recently retired from the VU university in Amsterdam, is an exception in this respect because most of her work gravitates towards an approach which aims to integrate this trinity of topics. This collection of essays, written by a number of her students and close colleagues, has taken its cue from her approach. It is not the case that all the contributions deal with all three topics but they as a collective demonstrate how flows of trade, cities?both as urban centres and nodes in wider networks?and kinship relations hang together, and how the study of one topic opens new vistas on the other two, revealing causal links that otherwise would have remained hidden. Thus, the essays in this collective volume support the idea that trade, towns and kin?although often dealt with quite separately?can be viewed as various aspects of the same networks, connecting people, places and commodities. 410 0$aVerhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde$v256. 606 $aCommerce$xSocial aspects$zAsia$xHistory 606 $aCities and towns$zAsia$xHistory 606 $aFamilies$zAsia$xHistory 607 $aAsia$xCommerce$xHistory 615 0$aCommerce$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory. 676 $a382.095 701 $aBoomgaard$b P.$f1946-$0801006 701 $aKooiman$b Dick$f1943-$01548446 701 $aSchulte Nordholt$b Henk$f1953-$01548447 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787577903321 996 $aLinking destinies$93805479 997 $aUNINA
