Class Description:
This course provides a general introduction to Southeast Asia's past and present. The course is organized chronologically around three broad periods: 1) traditional states and societies (to 1800); 2) colonial transformations and indigenous responses (1800-1945); and 3) the emergence of nation-states: Indonesia, Thailand, and Philippines. Topics and themes include: the origins of indigenous states; religious conversion and practice; ethnicity, social organization, and gender relations; modern social and economic transformations; response to colonial domination; the development of "imagined communities" and nationalist and revolutionary movements; post-colonial societies and political systems; ethnic conflict and national integration; the impact of Cold War international relations; and U.S. involvement in the region.
