War Memory and the Making of Modern Malaysia and Singapore
Singapore fell to Japan on 15 February 1942. Within days, the Japanese had massacred thousands of Chinese civilians, and taken prisoner more than 100,000 British, Australian and Indian soldiers. A resistance movement formed in Malaya's jungle-covered mountains, but the vast majority could do little other than resign themselves to life under Japanese rule. The Occupation would last three and a half years, until the return of the British in September 1945. How is this period remembered? And how have individuals, communities, and states shaped and reshaped memories in the postwar era? The book response to these questions, presenting answers that use the words of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasi...
Tragic Orphans
In 1938, noting that the bulk of the Indian population formed a "e;landless proletariat"e; and despairing of the ability of the factionalized Indian community to unite in pursuit of common objectives, activist K.A.

The Economics of World War II in Southeast Asia
The first comprehensive account of the impact of Japanese occupation on Southeast Asian economies and societies during World War II.
Under Beijing's Shadow
China’s rise and stepped-up involvement in Southeast Asia have prompted a blend of anticipation and unease among its smaller neighbors. The stunning growth of China has yanked up the region’s economies, but its militarization of the South China Sea and dam building on the Mekong River has nations wary about Beijing’s outsized ambitions. Southeast Asians long felt relatively secure, relying on the United States as a security hedge, but that confidence began to slip after the Trump administration launched a trade war with China and questioned the usefulness of traditional alliances. This compelling book provides a snapshot of ten countries in Southeast Asia by exploring their diverse experiences with China and how this impacts their perceptions of Beijing’s actions and its long-term political, economic, military, and “soft power” goals in the region.

Indonesia's Foreign Policy Under Suharto
"Using the frameworks of foreign policy analysis and political culture, this book provides an insightful and analytical explanation of Indonesia's foreign policy under Suharto. It examines the various factors which have contributed to Suharto's foreign policy, the goals of this policy and the means of achieving them. It also discusses Indonesia's relations with Asian countries and beyond, identifying their problems and prospects. As Suharto has played a crucial role in directing the policy, special attention has been focused on him. Despite many differences from the Sukarno era, Indonesia's aspiration to international leadership under Suharto remains constant. This is the most up-to-date book dealing with Indonesia's foreign policy under Suharto."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
