Using the insurrection by the Malayan Communist Party (1948–1960) as an example, this book argues that resorting to violence sped up the decolonisation of British Malaya, begging the question: if a late colonial state was subjective, then how did it claim a sufficiently objective mantle to rule and how did ideological techniques enable this?

作者簡介：

Rohan B. E. Price is a Lecturer at the School of Law and Justice, Southern Cross University, Australia where he teaches the law of trusts to support his history writing. He leads a brash generation of historians demanding a clear line of view on Asia’s present politics. His PhD research dealt with how decolonisation and Chinese nationalism were contemplated in colonial property law. He has written celebrated titles on law and policy issues in modern China and Hong Kong. His works of history have been called “one of a kind”, an “essential reminder”, and “redrawing the map”. He has been a visiting professor in several universities in Mainland China. His works originate in the archives of London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Weihai. He maintains a holiday-maker’s interest in where his next book will be banned. His next book, titled On Occupation, locates the ontology developed by Heidegger in a range of late colonial contexts.
