Revisiting Malaya, takes regional Cold War divisions and historical links and fractures into consideration, seeking to understand the power of thoughts and practices in anticolonial independence movements in Malaya and more broadly the Malay World or Nusantara – in which different colonised bodies sought to unify, integrate and negotiate their struggles to expel colonialism. This period witnessed the revolutionary dynamics of Third World nations in resisting colonialism, yet it also marked the construction of new geographical and national discourse that generated conflicts and misunderstandings until today.
