“…Frey, Pruesssen, and Tan have made a similar point, that : '… decolonization in Southeast Asia is best regarded as a process that began in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries', and was often twinned with or aided by attempts to consolidate late imperial power. 85 In so far as nineteenth-century imperialism was hand in glove with a globalisation that continued to dispossess first peoples across the globe, decolonisation can also be conceived as attempts (scarcely even begun by 1968) to address the legacies. In so far as empire interpenetrated metropolitan cultures, decolonisation also implies the current 'decolonial' turn, with its interrogation of physical, curricular, literary, and other imperial traces in multiple metropoles, and the 're-creation' of Europe through immigration and changing attitudes as examined in Buettner's Europe After Empire.…”
