The Japanese occupation of both British Borneo -- Brunei, Sarawak
and North Borneo -- and Dutch Borneo in 1941 to 1945 is a much
understudied subject. Of particular interest is the occupation of
Dutch Borneo, governed by the Imperial Japanese Navy that had
long-term plans for permanent possession'. This book surveys Borneo
under Western colonialism, examines pre-war Japanese interests in
Borneo, and analyses the Japanese military invasion and occupation.
It goes on to consider the nature of Japanese rule in Borneo,
contrasting the different regimes of the Imperial Japanese Army,
which ruled the north, and the Navy. A wide range of issues are
discussed, including the incorporation of the economy in the
Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and the effects of this on
Borneo's economy. The book also covers issues such as the
relationship with the various indigenous inhabitants, with Islam
and the Muslim community, and the Chinese, as well as topics of
acculturation and propaganda, and major uprisings and mass
executions. It examines the impact of the wartime conditions and
policies on the local multiethnic peoples and their responses,
providing an invaluable contribution to the greater understanding
of the significance of the wartime Japanese occupation in the
historical development of Borneo.
