This volume is a book of reflections and encounters about the
region that the Chinese knew as Nanyang. The essays in it look back
at the years of uncertainty after the end of World War II and
explore the period largely through images of mixed heritages in
Malaysia and Singapore. They also look at the trends towards social
and political divisiveness following the years of decolonization in
Southeast Asia. Never far in the background is the struggle to
build new nations during four decades of an ideological Cold War
and the Chinese determination to move from near-collapse in the
1940s and out of the traumatic changes of the Maoist revolution to
become the powerhouse that it now is.
