Know about the book -

Nationalism in Southeast Asia is written by Nicholas Tarling and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1134312725 (ISBN 10) and 9781134312726 (ISBN 13).

Nationalism in Southeast Asia seeks a definition of nationalism through examining its role in the history of southeast Asia, a region rarely included in general books on the topic. By developing such a definition and testing it out, Tarling hopes at the same time to make a contribution to southeast Asian historiography and to limit its 'ghettoization'. Tarling considers the role of nationalism in the 'nation-building' of the post-colonial phase, and its relationship both with the democratic aspirations associated with the winning of independence and with the authoritarianism of the closing decades of the 20th century.
