The Indian Ocean was global long before the Atlantic, and today the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal--India, Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia--are home to one in four people on Earth. "Crossing the Bay of Bengal" places this region at the heart of world history for the first time. Integrating human and environmental history, and mining a wealth of sources, Sunil Amrith gives a revelatory and stirring new account of the Bay and those who have inhabited it. For centuries the Bay of Bengal served as a maritime highway between India and China, and then as a battleground for European empires, all while being shaped by the monsoons and by human migration. Imperial powers in the nineteenth century, abetted by the force of capital and the power of steam, reconfigured the Bay in their quest for coffee, rice, and rubber. Millions of Indian migrants crossed the sea, bound by debt or spurred by drought, and filled with ambition. Booming port cities like Singapore and Penang became the most culturally diverse societies of their time. By the 1930s, however, economic, political, and environmental pressures began to erode the Bay's centuries-old patterns of interconnection. Today, rising waters leave the Bay of Bengal's shores especially vulnerable to climate change, at the same time that its location makes it central to struggles over Asia's future. Amrith's evocative and compelling narrative of the region's pasts offers insights critical to understanding and confronting the many challenges facing Asia in the decades ahead.

“孟加拉湾人口占世界人口的四分之一，仍然是重要的地缘政治区，这是阿姆瑞斯中心论点的延伸。毫无疑问，孟加拉湾是一个在为英国皇室积累财富方面具有无可比拟的影响力的地区，在文化和商业的巨量的流通方面亦然。自古以来，海湾一直是受外部经济影响的一块磁石。即使到了今天...

这本书犹如一份标出孟加拉湾轮廓的纲要，囊括了此区域内的生活、人民、文化和思想，内容广泛而丰富。可能是第一本关注孟加拉湾的文化、政治和经济的历史专著，在此之前，孟加拉湾在印度洋历史上普遍受到冷落。全书以通俗易懂的风格写成，并夹杂着作者拍摄的照片，既能吸引印度...

像一部百科全书地介绍了孟加拉湾沿岸地区的移民、宗教与政治相关的历史。在国内很少有关于东南亚华人的书籍，而这一部不仅讲述了华人的移民历史，更重要的揭示了民族主义在近代兴起在这些移民国家的影响。豆瓣里唯一的评论，估计没怎么读书吧。这书就写的孟加拉湾，有必要写中国南海的事情么？也根本没怎么提这里的重要性。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

作者一直强调“啊，孟加拉湾真是一个沟通南亚和东南亚的关键节点啊”，还说“我们不能够继续满足于帝国主义rigidly将这个本是一体的海洋区域加以划分的做法了”。但是，在书里面，他就只是在大谈印度，完全忽略了新加坡以北、以东的“东南亚”。他倒是经常提及中国，可是才刚提起中国，他就马上说“让我们看回印度”。这是变相地在undermine自己的argument啊。。。
