Description
Vicente L. Rafael delves into the intricate notions of criminality and the identity of the criminal in Southeast Asia, particularly focusing on Indonesia, the Philippines, and colonial Vietnam. By examining historical contexts and societal dynamics, Rafael sheds light on how these constructs have been shaped by colonial rule and local responses.
The work encourages readers to think critically about the legacies of colonialism and the varying interpretations of crime and punishment in different cultural landscapes. Through this nuanced lens, Rafael invites discourse on the implications of labeling individuals as criminals and the broader societal consequences that follow.
