Southeast Asian minorities in the wartime Japanese empire

About this book

"This book provides thirteen case studies of minority experiences during the occupation period, and helps explain the legacy of ethnic tensions left by the war years in southeast Asia. It shows, for example, how in some areas of Burma the withdrawal of established authority led to widespread communal violence; how the Indian and Chinese populations of Malaya and Thailand had extensive and often unpleasant interactions with the Japanese; and how in Java the Chinese population fared much better."--BOOK JACKET.
