Colonialism in the Malay Archipelago: Civilisational Encounters

More about the book

Focusing on the theme of colonialism, this book features contributions from fourteen scholars who explore civilisational encounters in the Malay Archipelago. It examines the complex interactions—both peaceful and violent—resulting from centuries of Western colonial presence and their lasting impact on the region's civilisational history. The chapters offer fresh insights into these encounters and their relevance to the contemporary societies of modern nation-states like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Timor-Leste.
