  • More about Racial Difference and the Colonial Wars of 19th Century Southeast Asia

The colonization of Southeast Asia was a long and often violent process where racial difference was used to rationalize military campaigns. This collection of critical essays examines how the colonizing powers weaponized racial difference and how forms of local resistance often worked through colonial structures of identity politics.

The colonization of Southeast Asia was a protracted and frequently brutal process, marked by numerous military campaigns waged by the colonial powers across the region. In many of these conflicts, the concept of racial difference played a pivotal role, as native Southeast Asian societies were often portrayed in negative terms as savage and backward communities that required subjugation and civilization. This collection of critical essays delves into the colonial construction of race and explores how the colonial wars in 19th-century Southeast Asia were rationalized through recourse to theories of racial difference. By examining the wars in Java, Borneo, Siam, the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, and other regions of Southeast Asia, the essays shed light on how the colonizing powers weaponized the idea of racial difference and how forms of local resistance often worked within these colonial structures of identity politics.
