This book traces the fortunes of two interrelated kingdoms in southeast Sumatra - Jambi and Palembang - during a period of political and economic transformation.

The relationship between ruler and subject, the importance of kinship in all human dealings, and the ambiguous association between upstream and downstream are the three fundamental themes explored by Barbara Watson Andaya in a book that makes an important contribution to our understanding of premodern Indonesia.
