East Asia beyond the Archives

Missing Sources & Marginal Voices

2023 || Hardcover || Catherine Chan e.a. || Leiden University Press

For a long time, silk, tea, sinocentrism, and eurocentrism made up a big patch of East Asian history.

The Lives of Cold War Afro-Asianism

2022 || Hardcover || Carolien Stolte e.a. || Leiden University Press

The Afro-Asianism of the early Cold War has long remained buried under the narrative of Bandung, homogenising and subverting the different visions of post-colonial worldmaking that co-existed alongside the Bandung project.

It examines...

A Transnational History of Food Aid and Development, c. 1890-1950

2023 || Hardcover || Joanna Simonow || Leiden University Press

The task of ending famine in India was taken up by many at the beginning of the twentieth century. Only decades earlier, famine in India had been believed to be a necessary evil. Now it was the reason for the increasing activities of doctors, nutritionists, social reformers, agricultural experts, missionaries, anti-colonial activists and colonial administrators, all involved in temporary relief and finding permanent solutions to famine.

Bodies beyond Binaries

in Colonial and Postcolonial Asia

2024 || Hardcover || Kate Imy e.a. || Leiden University Press

Throughout the volume, critical concepts such as gender, s...
