Cross-border movements are often discussed as a high-level
abstraction, but people cross borders as individuals. Their lives
are reshaped by the experience, and in some cases they in turn
reshape their own environment. For the ten individuals whose
biographies appear in this volume, travel and its contingent and
uneven processes of translation, circulation, and exchange helped
forge patterns of political thought and action, and defined their
contribution to the process of nation-making in Southeast Asia.
Mariano Ponce, Pham Hong Thai, Hilaire Noulens, Vu Trong Phung, Du
Ai, Lin Bin, Ruam Wongphan, James Puthucheary, K. Bali, Connie
Bragas-Regalado, and Imam Samudra each traveled within and beyond
Southeast Asia. The accounts in this book discuss how travel shaped
their lives and careers, and explain the transformative effects it
had on the intellectual, political, and cultural trajectories of
nationalism, communism, Islamism, and other movements in the
region. The volume illuminates some of the pathways by which people
in this region worked to realize their intellectual, aesthetic and
political visions and projects over the last tumultuous century.
