Anthony Reid (academic)

Anthony Reid is a New Zealand-born historian of Southeast Asia. His doctoral work at Cambridge University examined the contest for power in northern Sumatra in the late 19th century, and he extended this study into a book "The Blood of the People" on the national and social revolutions in that region 1945-49. He is most famous for his two volume book "The Age of Commerce" , developed during his time at the Australian National University in Canberra. His later work includes a return to Sumatra where he strongly advocated a historical basis for the separate identity of Aceh.

Professor Reid was founding director of the Southeast Asia Center, University of California Los Angeles, 1999-2002, and from 2002-2005 was again founding director of the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is currently a professor and Research Leader at NUS. Professor Reid has been elected as a CorrespondingFellow at the prestigious British Academy on 17th July 2008.

In 2002 Reid won the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize in the category of academics.
