Cold War Reckonings tells a new story about the Cold War and the global shift from colonialism to independent nation-states. Assembling a body of transpacific cultural works that speak to this historical conjuncture, Jini Kim Watson reveals autocracy to be not a deficient form of liberal democracy, but rather the result of Cold War entanglements with decolonization. Focusing on East and Southeast Asia, the book scrutinizes cultural texts ranging from dissident poetry, fiction, and writers' conference proceedings of the Cold War period, to more recent literature, graphic novels, and films that retrospectively look back to these decades with a critical eye. Paying particular attention to anti-communist repression and state infrastructures of violence, the book provides a rich account of several U.S.-allied Cold War regimes in the Asia Pacific, including the South Korean military dictatorship, Marcos' rule in the Philippines, illiberal Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew, and Suharto's Indonesia. Watson's book argues that the cultural forms and narrative techniques that emerged from the Cold War-decolonizing matrix offer new ways of comprehending these histories and connecting them to our present. The book advances our understanding of the global reverberations of the Cold War and its enduring influence on cultural and political formations in the Asia Pacific"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : ruling like a foreigner : theorizing "Free World" authoritarianism in the Asia-Pacific Cold War -- Writing freedom from Bandung to PEN International -- In the shadow of Solzhenitsyn : Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Kim Chi-ha, Ninotchka Rosca, and Cold War critique -- Separate futures : other times of Southeast Asian decolonization -- The wrong side of history : anachronism and authoritarianism -- Killing communists, transitional justice, and the making of the post-Cold War -- Epilogue : authoritarian lessons for neoliberal times. 650 0 $a Decolonization in literature. 650 0 $a Cold War in literature. 650 7 $a Cold War (1945-1989) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866988 650 7 $a Decolonization in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889123 700 1 $a Rosca, Ninotchka, $e contributor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Watson, Jini Kim. $t Cold war reckonings. $b First edition. $d New York : Fordham University Press, 2021 $z 9780823294855 $w (OCoLC)1263238342 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D1EF1988FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
