Traveling Nation-Makers: Transnational Flows And Movements In The Making Of Modern Southeast Asia
by Hau, Caroline S.; Kasian Tejapira (Eds.)
About This Book
Cross-border movements are often discussed as a high-level abstraction, but people cross borders as individuals. 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. 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.
