  • The Environmental Impacts of Japan’s Occupation of West Malaysia (1942-45) and its Socio-Economic Implications

    Open AccessJ Kathirithamby–WellsARTICLEGlobal Environment2012

    The Japanese occupation of Malaysia highlights the interrelation between war and the natural environment as forming an integral part of the national narrative and global environmentalism. By disrupting the economy and emasculating the forestry service, the Japanese military administration removed the restraints on forest invasion by the hungry and landless and simultaneously privileged Japanese cooperate business, which engaged in indiscriminate …

  • Strangers' and 'stranger-kings

    Open AccessJ Kathirithamby–well, J Kathirithamby–Wells et al.ARTICLEJournal of Southeast Asian Studies2009Cited by: 2References: 10

    Sayyidi 'strangers' and 'stranger-kings', borne on the eighteenth-century wave of Hadhrami migration to the Malay-Indonesian region, boosted indigenous traditions of charismatic leadership at a time of intense political challenge posed by Western expansion. The extemporary credentials and personal talents which made for sāda exceptionalism and lent continuity to Southeast Asian state-making traditions are discussed with particular reference to Pe…

  • Siak and its Changing Strategies for Survival, c.1700–1870

    J Kathirithamby-Wells, J Kathirithamby–WellsCHAPTERLast Stand of Asian Autonomies1997

    At a time when commercial power based on extensive territorial claims was proving to be increasingly less viable as in the case of Aceh and Johor, Siak set out to establish its influence along the entire length of the east Sumatran coast from Tamiang in the north to Kateman to the south of Kuantan (see Map 9.1). Siak’s eighteenth-century expansionism was the outcome of its adaptation to island Southeast Asia’s renewed importance to the spectacula…

    Unity within the Malay-Indonesian region evolved as an economic force from within and was not artificially superimposed by any political authority. The region was inextricably linked as a ‘geo-economic’ unit which was of paramount importance to international trade. Although it was trade which laid the area open to external intrusions which ultimately forced the region into a single matrix, colonial authority was imposed largely upon a pre-existin…

    Ironically, the focus which Schrieke and Van Leur first brought to bear on socioeconomic changes in the Archipelago inspired scholars after them, Benda, Wertheim and Meilink-Roelofsz, among others, to plead for more dynamic structural changes than the pioneers of “Southeast Asia-centric historiography” presumed fit. The more cautious approach of Schrieke and Van Leur would appear to arise from their anxiety to establish cultural continuity as a v…

  • The Islamic City

    Open AccessJ Kathirithamby-Wells, J Kathirithamby–well et al.ARTICLEModern Asian Studies1986Cited by: 3References: 6

    The concept of the city as religious centre, administrative capital and economic pivot for a society, state or kingdom, expressed in the Islamic concept ofmadina(Gibbs and Kramers 1961: 291; Lapidus 1969: 69) pre-dates Muslim influence in Southeast Asia. The physical as well as functional characteristics of the Southeast Asian city, deriving from its urban features, as distinct from its rural surroundings, were a culmination of gradual evolution …
