Publisher: Amsterdam Amsterdam University Press 2021Description: 256p.ISBN: 9789048527489.DDC classification: 959.0072 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: The nations of Southeast Asia today are rapidly integrating economically and politically, but that integration is also counterbalanced by forces ranging from hyper-nationalism to disputes over cultural ownership throughout the region. Those forces, Farish A. Noor argues in this book, have their roots in the region's failure to come to a critical understanding of how current national and cultural identities in the region came about. To remedy that, Noor offers a close account of the construction of Southeast Asia in the nineteenth century by the forces of capitalism and imperialism, and shows how that construct remains a potent aspect of political, economic, and cultural disputes today.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
