World War One in Southeast Asia

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Anyone who is interested in the global history of the war and empire should read it, especially since we are now commemorating the war's centenary legacy.' Xu Guoqi, H-Diplo '... an important addition to preexisting scholarship. Besides contributing to a growing body of works examining the global dimension of the Great War, it also contributes to an emerging body of scholarship that explores the interconnectivity of Southeast Asia. ... a must-read for historians of both World War I and Southeast Asia.' Kelvin Yudianto, Global Histories: A Student Journal '... this book is essential reading for historians interested in Southeast Asia, European imperialism and colonialism, and world history. It advances our understanding of the ways the First World War impacted Southeast Asia and beyond. It also captures a global story that traces the struggles between Allied and Central powers as each intersected with British, Dutch, and French colonialism and anticolonialism in Southeast Asia. For world historians, this book should be required reading for methodological purposes. It considers the significance of scale and the intersections of local, regional, and world history. Equally important, it makes a strong case for situating archival evidence and research at the center of world history in order to enrich the stories we tell and our conceptualization of global transformation and connection.'
