"[...] Noor, Carey, and the volume’s contributors make an excellent case for how constructions of racial difference in nineteenth-century Southeast Asia were central to militarized violence and colonial expansion. [...] It is a bold and refreshing reminder to readers of how racial hierarchies have deep roots in the histories of warfare and colonialism and continue to influence governance and conflict in the present."
- Kate Imy, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 95, No. 3
The colonisation of Southeast Asia was a long and often violent process where numerous military campaigns were waged by the colonial powers across the region. The notion of racial difference was crucial in many of these wars, as native Southeast Asian societies were often framed in negative terms as 'savage' and 'backward' communities that needed to be subdued and 'civilised'.
