Opis

The six volumes that make up this set provide an overview of colonialism in South-East Asia. The first volume deals with Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch Imperialism before 1800, the second with empire-building during the 19th century, and the third with the imperial heyday in the early 20th century. The remaining volumes are devoted to the decline of empire, covering nationalism and the Japanese challenge to the western presence in the region, and the transition to independence - peaceful in the case of the Philippines, Burma and Malaysia, but violent in Indonesia and Vietnam. The authors whose works are anthologized include both official participants, and scholars who wrote about events from a more detached perspective.
