Book Synopsis Nanyang by : Wang Gungwu
Download or read book Nanyang written by Wang Gungwu. This book was released on 2018-05-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a book of reflections and encounters about the region that the Chinese knew as Nanyang. The essays in it look back at the years of uncertainty after the end of World War II and explore the period largely through images of mixed heritages in Malaysia and Singapore. They also look at the trends towards social and political divisiveness following the years of decolonization in Southeast Asia. Never far in the background is the struggle to build new nations during four decades of an ideological Cold War and the Chinese determination to move from near-collapse in the 1940s and out of the traumatic changes of the Maoist revolution to become the powerhouse that it now is.

Book Synopsis Colonialism, China and the Chinese by : Peter Monteath
Download or read book Colonialism, China and the Chinese written by Peter Monteath. This book was released on 2019-07-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the place of China and the Chinese during the age of imperialism. Focusing not only on the state but also on the vitality of Chinese culture and the Chinese diaspora, it examines the seeming contradictions of a period in which China came under immense pressure from imperial expansion while remaining a major political, cultural and demographic force in its own right. Where histories of China commonly highlight episodes of conflict and subjugation in China’s relations with the West, the contributions to this volume explore the complex spaces where empires and their peoples did not merely collide but also became entangled.
