Ice caps are melting, seas are rising, and densely populated cities worldwide are threatened by floodwaters, especially in Southeast Asia. BUILDING on BORROWED TIME: Rising Seas and Failing Infrastructure in Semarang (University of Minnesota Press) is a relevant and powerful ethnography of how people in Semarang, Indonesia, on the north coast of Java, are dealing with this existential challenge driven by global warming. In addition to antiflooding infrastructure breaking down, vast areas of cities like Semarang and Jakarta are rapidly sinking, affecting the very foundations of urban life: toxic water oozes through the floors of houses, bridges are submerged, traffic is interrupted.

Listen in as Lukas Ley debriefs us on a place where a flood crisis has already arrived—where everyday residents are not waiting for the effects of climate change but are in fact already living with it. Podcast link ⤵️

To say that WORLD WAR II and SOUTHEAST ASIA: Economy and Society under Japanese Occupation (Cambridge University Press - History, Classics and Archaeology) is an impressive achievement is a huge understatement.

Delve deeper as Huff joins Michael Vann on the podcast ↙️

When people think of the “Vietnam War” they usually think of the hugely devastating and divisive conflict between North Vietnam and a United States-backed South Vietnam that finally ended in 1975. We know much less about the earlier conflict, often referred to as the “First Indochina War”, from 1946 to 1954, which ended almost a century of French colonial rule and brought about the division of the country into North and South Vietnam. In his new book, THE FIRST VIETNAM WAR: Sovereignty and the Fracture of the South, 1945-1956 (Cambridge University Press - History, Classics and Archaeology), Shawn McHale examines this earlier conflict, focussing on the complex and diverse society of south Vietnam.
