This course focuses on late-colonialism up to 1942 in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Siam/Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Burma. One of the primary themes is the historical conflict between the societies of the region and the global community of "developed" nations. After looking at a sensitive and well-informed variety of historical sources, we also explore the area's political, social, and intellecutal history. We also address students' interests in particular regions.
