Opium and Empire
Breaking new ground in the historiography of the overseas Chinese and British colonialism, this book focuses on two areas largely ignored by students of the period—opium and the economic role of the group of institutions known as kongsi, or secret societies
Writing the History of Drug Commodities’
Singapore As A Nineteenth Century Migration Node
[ A focus on the century from the 1830s to the 1930s provides an adequate periodization for connecting the migration systems of several seas. To show how rivers, seas, and oceans either connect or divide and how the nineteenth century seaborne migrations emerged from century-long practices, the chapter provides traveling knowledges and early seafaring and then turn to the most intensely traversed waters, the Indian Ocean and the East and Southeas…
Connecting Seas and Connected Ocean Rims
Long-distance migration of peoples have been a central if little understood factor in global integration. The essays in this collection contribute to a new history of world migrations, written by specialists of particular areas of the world. Collectively these essays point towards a shift from the regional migrations of individual seas and oceans of the early modern era toward nineteenth-century labor migrations that connected the Pacific and Ind…
Chinese Revenue Farms and Borders in Southeast Asia
This article examines the role of Chinese revenue farmers in defining the borders of the various colonial territories and the states of Southeast Asia during the nineteenth century. Their significance has largely been neglected in writing on the formation of state boundaries. Nicholas Tarling notes, 'Between the late eighteenth and the early twentieth almost all southeast Asia was divided into colonies or protectorates held by the Western powers,…
Singapore
This volume examines Singapore’s culture of control, exploring the city-state’s colonial heritage as well as the forces that have helped to mould its current social landscape. Taking a comparative approach, Trocki demonstrates the links between Singapore’s colonial past and independent present, focusing on the development of indigenous social and political movements. In particular, the book examines the efforts of Lee Yew Kuan, leader of the Peop…
A Drug on the Market
This article traces the early stages of Chinese migration to Southeast Asia and examines the relationship between the Chinese pioneers in the region and the opium trade of the British. The article stresses the importance of the “Water Frontier” settlements in the Gulf of Siam and the Malay Peninsula. It suggests that opium changed the relationship between Chinese merchant-capitalists and Chinese laborers in the region and acted as the basis for a…

Malaysia. Chinese business in the making of a Malay state, 1882–1941: Kedah and Penang. By WU XIAO AN. London and New York: Routledge, 2003. Pp 239. Index, Bibliography, Illustrations. - Volume 35 Issue 3
Opium and the Beginnings of Chinese Capitalism in Southeast Asia
The article suggests that the development of Chinese capitalism in nineteenth-century Southeast Asia was intimately connected to the participation of Chinese merchants in the financing and operation of opium revenue farming concessions. It examines the development and structure of the opium farming system as it operated in the region
Development of Labour Organisation in Singapore, 1800‐1960
This paper looks at the long‐term development of labour relations in Singapore. Firstly, it suggests a periodisation for the history of the Singapore labour movement. Secondly, the paper examines the shifting nature of industrial relations and the ability or lack thereof for labour to organise. One consistent theme emerges, that is the question of identity and consciousness among labour. Unless workers were able to identify themselves as labour, …
Opium, Empire and the Global Political Economy
Drug epidemics are clearly not just a peculiar feature of modern life; the opium trade in the nineteenth century tells us a great deal about Asian herion traffic today. In an age when we are increasingly aware of large scale drug use, this book takes a long look at the history of our relationship with mind-altering substances. Engagingly written, with lay readers as much as specialists in mind, this book will be fascinating reading for historians…
Opium, Empire and the Global Political Economy
Gangsters, Democracy, and the State in Southeast Asia
An essay collection that studies workaday, regional politics in Southeast Asia and its implications for evolving democracies. The contributors examine the electoral process, conflicts between central and local governments, conflicts between individual freedoms and state power, and the roles charismatic, opportunistic strongmen have played in Southeast Asian politics, most notably in Thailand, Burma, and the Philippines
Chinese Pioneering in Eighteenth-Century Southeast Asia
This chapter attempts to re-examine the history of the Chinese migration to Southeast Asia by focusing on a significant change in the patterns of Chinese settlement. In essence, it appears that by the mid-eighteenth century, a significantly new phenomenon had appeared: this was the regular settlement of sizeable communities of Chinese labourers in parts of the Malay world. This development had important implications for Southeast Asia as a region…

The Rise of Singapore's Great Opium Syndicate, 1840–86
This study aims to reconstruct a neglected chapter in the history of the Singapore Chinese. The opium farm, which was the monopoly for the manufacture and sale of chandu, or smokeable opium, was one of the primary Chinese-dominated economic institutions of nineteenth-century Singapore. A study of the farm provides the historian with an institutional focus which can increase our understanding of the history of the Chinese community in Singapore du…

Prince of Pirates
Boonsanong Punyodyana
Dr. Boonsanong Punyodyana fell to an assassin's bullet at about 1:30 a.m. on 28 February, 1976. At the time of his death, he was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party of Thailand. There is little doubt that his death was politically motivated. Since few among Thailand's ruling elite regretted his passing, not many expect his murderers to be apprehended. He will be sorely missed however, by his wife and two daughters, by his academic collea…
