Episode 17
Friday, 6 March, 2026
Send a textThis episode begins a three-part series on Islam and trade in the Malay Archipelago.Before we can understand how Islam spread through Southeast Asia, we first need to understand the people who inhabited the region long before its arrival — the Austronesians. In the first episode, Anisa and I talk about how these remarkable seafaring peoples spread across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, from Taiwan and the Philippines through the Malay Archipelago and as far as Polynesia and Madagascar. Their languages, maritime traditions, and shared cultural heritage formed the foundation of the peoples that inhabit what we know today as the Nusantara or Alam Melayu.In this first episode, we explore who the Austronesians were — their origins, migrations, languages, and cultural traditions — and how they shaped the societies of Islands Southeast Asia and beyond. In the second episode, we examine the role of Islam and trade in the Malay Archipelago, and how merchant and spiritual networks helped spread Islam throughout the region. In the third episode, we look at colonisation, occupation, and resistance in the Malay world, and how local societies resisted European colonisation.Join us for this three-part journey through the history of the Malay Archipelago.If you enjoy the series, please share it, like it, and leave a comment.#Malayworld #alammelayu #nusantara #AustronesianSupport the show
