Tony Day and Maya H.T. Liem explore the intricate dance of cultural expression amid the backdrop of the Cold War in Southeast Asia. Their examination reveals how local traditions, art, and language were not only influenced by global ideologies but also how they became battlegrounds for cultural identity and resistance.
As countries navigated the tensions of this geopolitical struggle, their cultural landscapes flourished in unexpected ways. The authors illustrate the power of artistic movements and intellectual thought in shaping national identities, highlighting the resilience of Southeast Asian cultures in the face of external pressures. Through rich narratives and insightful analysis, this work opens a window into a period where culture became both a weapon and a refuge.
