The Routledge Handbook of Nationalism in East and Southeast Asia

'Professor Lu Zhouxiang has done an excellent job in bringing together a range of essays – both general and focused on particular states, regions, and themes – concerned with nationalism in both East and South-East Asia. This will be of value to the general reader by virtue of its breadth of coverage. It will also help historians and social scientists in the field to contextualise their own findings in light of similar work by other specialists.' John Breuilly, Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science 'Nationalism is one of the most powerful and important factors to shape Asia, one of the most dynamic areas in the world, and understanding it is crucial for scholars and the wider world alike. Combining syntheses of deep research with strong explanatory frameworks, this handbook will be essentially reading for all scholars of nationalism and ideology.' Rana Mitter, Professor, University of Oxford 'This handbook is invaluable guide to nationalism in East and Southeast Asia. It offers a comprehensive survey of the field and is an essential work of reference for scholars of nationalism.' Gerard Delanty, Professor, University of Sussex
