概要：How do nations use war memorials to shape their national and international identities? In War Memorialization and Nation-Building in Twentieth-Century Southeast Asia, John Lee Candelaria explores this intriguing question through the lens of three Southeast Asian nations: the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. He reveals how these countries harnessed the memory of war to forge national unity and legitimize state power, all while navigating complex international relations during a century marked by colonial transitions, world wars, and Cold War tensions. How did these nations construct compelling narratives of their past through monuments and memorials? From glorifying heroes to commemorating victims, Candelaria analyzes the shifting portrayals of war and their profound impact on collective memory and contemporary societies. This book offers a cross case analysis of the three countries and sheds new light on the enduring power of war memory in shaping national identity and international relations in Southeast Asia.
