Diana Kim - Colonial States and their Legacies across Southeast Asia: Through the Lens of Japan's Wartime Empire


Source: http://hdl.handle.net/1887.1/item:788640. (Creative Commons)What are the institutional legacies of European colonial rule across Southeast Asia? This talk addresses this question through the lens of Japan’s wartime empire, which occupied the region during the 1940s. It explores the vast array of formal and informal institutions that the Japanese variably inherited from the Europeans, repurposed, destroyed, or built anew, to consider more broadly, what constitutes a meaningful rupture when narrating colonial legacies of historical continuity.
