The Long Shadow Of The 19th Century: Critical Essays On Colonial Orientalism In Southeast Asia
Publisher: Matahari Books
Author : Farish A Noor
Pages: 404 pages
Stamford
Raffles, James Brooke, John Crawfurd and Anna Leonowens were some of those who
came from Europe or the United States to Southeast Asia in the nineteenth
century — and then wrote about what they saw.
Their
writings deserve to be read now for what they truly were: Not objective
accounts of a Southeast Asia frozen in imperial time but rather as culturally
myopic and perspectivist works that betray the subject-positions of the authors
themselves. Reading them would allow us to write the history of the East-West
encounter through critical lenses that demonstrate the workings of
power-knowledge in the elaborate war-economy of racialised colonial-capitalism.
Many of the tropes used by these colonial-era scholars and travellers, such as the indolence or savagery of the native population, are still very much in use today — which means we still live in the long shadow of the 19th century.
