Racial Difference and the Colonial Wars of 19th Century Southeast Asia Hardcover -
by Farish Ahmad-Noor (Editor); Peter-Brian Ramsay Carey (Editor); Contribution by Netusha Naidu
From the jacket flap
The colonisation of Southeast Asia was a long and often violent process where numerous military campaigns were waged by the colonial powers across the region. The notion of racial difference was crucial in many of these wars, as native Southeast Asian societies were often framed in negative terms as 'savage' and 'backward' communities that needed to be subdued and 'civilised'. This collection of critical essays focuses on the colonial construction of race and looks at how the colonial wars in 19th century Southeast Asia were rationalised via recourse to theories of racial difference, making race a factor in the wars of Empire. Looking at the colonial wars in Java, Borneo, Indochina, Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia, the essays examine the manner in which the idea of racial difference was weaponised by the colonising powers and how forms of local resistance often worked through such colonial structures of identity politics.

Description:
Amsterdam University Press, 2021. First edition. Hardcover. New. Although colonial incursions into Southeast Asia were primarily for the purpose of exploiting new sources of trade, surviving narratives of traders and government officers do not often mention this. Instead more often the justification for war and subsequent conquest is often cited as the need to 'civilise' 'backward' and 'savage' peoples. In this collection of articles the contributors examine the extent to which race framed the narrative of Western powers as they made their mark in Borneo, the Dutch East Indies, Malaya, the Philippines and Siam. New Hardback. First Edition 288 pages with an index and a map. Weight: 0.8 kg Post free within Malaysia
