The colonisation of Southeast Asia was a long and often violent
process where numerous military campaigns were waged by the
colonial powers across the region. The notion of racial difference
was crucial in many of these wars, as native Southeast Asian
societies were often framed in negative terms as 'savage' and
'backward' communities that needed to be subdued and 'civilised'.
This collection of critical essays focuses on the colonial
construction of race and looks at how the colonial wars in
19th-century Southeast Asia were rationalised via recourse to
theories of racial difference, making race a significant factor in
the wars of Empire. Looking at the colonial wars in Java, Borneo,
Siam, the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula and other parts of
Southeast Asia, the essays examine the manner in which the idea of
racial difference was weaponised by the colonising powers and how
forms of local resistance often worked through such colonial
structures of identity politics.
