  • - Collective Violence on Indonesian Borneo
    av Alfred W. Mccoy & Jamie Davidson
    377

    Offers an analysis of the roots of contemporary violence in one of Indonesia's most ethnically heterogeneous provinces, West Kalimantan. This book reveals the links between ethnic violence and subnational politics. It also demonstrates that the endemic violence in this vast region is not the inevitable outcome of its ethnic diversity.

  • - Europeans and Eurasians in Colonial Indonesia
    av Jean Gelman Taylor
    457

    In the 17th century, the Dutch established a trading base at the Indonesian site of Jacarta.

    451

    Moving beyond past histories of Viet Nam that have focused on nationalist struggle, this volume brings together work by scholars who are re-examining centuries of Vietnamese history. This book explores topics such as the extraordinary diversity between north and south, lowland and highland, and Viet and minority.

  • - The Quest for Legitimation in French Indochina, 1850-1960
    av Mai Na M. Lee
    457

    Countering notions that Hmong history begins and ends with the "Secret War" in Laos of the 1960s and 1970s, this study reveals how the Hmong experience of modernity is grounded in their sense of their own ancient past, when this now-stateless people had their own king and kingdom, and illuminates their political choices over the course of a century in a highly contested region of Asia.

  • av Daniel F. Doeppers
    487 - 1 121

    The first book to explore the critical problem of provisioning the "megacity." A historical study of Manila looks at the continuing challenges of getting food, water, and services to the millions of people who live in the world's megacities.

  • - The Politics of Humor in the Vessantara Jataka in Thailand
    av Katherine A. Bowie

  • - Philippine Trials of Japanese War Criminals
    av Sharon W. Chamberlain
    1 301

    Examination of postwar trials is now a thriving area of research, but Sharon W. Chamberlain is the first to offer an authoritative assessment of the legal proceedings convened in the Philippines. These were trials conducted by Asians, not Western powers, and centred on the abuses suffered by local inhabitants rather than by prisoners of war.

  • - Impunity and Human Rights in Thailand
    av Tyrell Haberkorn
    337

    Following a 1932 coup d'etat in Thailand that ended absolute monarchy and established a constitution, the Thai state that emerged has suppressed political dissent through detention, torture, forced reeducation, disappearances, assassinations, and massacres. In Plain Sight shows how these abuses, both hidden and occurring in public view, have become institutionalized.

  • - A Holocaust Odyssey
    av Bonnie M. Harris
    377 - 1 111

    Between 1938 and 1941, the Philippine Commonwealth provided safe asylum to more than 1,300 German Jews. In highlighting the efforts by Philippine president Manual Quezon and High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, Bonnie Harris offers fuller implications for our understanding of the Roosevelt administration's response to the Holocaust.
