This book explores contested notions of "Chineseness" in Southeast
Asia and Hong Kong during the Cold War, showing how competing ideas
about "Chineseness" were an important ideological factor at play in
the region. After providing an overview of the scholarship on
"Chineseness" and "diaspora", the book sheds light on specific case
studies, through the lens of the "Chinese cultural Cold War", from
Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. It
provides detailed examples of competition for control of
definitions of "Chineseness" by political or politically oriented
forces of diverse kinds, and shows how such competition was played
out in bookstores, cinemas, music halls, classrooms, and even
sports clubs and places of worship across the region in the 1950s,
1960s and 1970s. The book also demonstrates how the legacies of
these Cold War contestations continue to influence debates about
Chinese influence - and "Chineseness" - in Southeast Asia and the
wider region today.
