- Class Description:
- This course is intended to provide 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 four nation-states: Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Philippines. Within these contexts, the course will explore several topics and themes, among them: 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.
