Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Asia Reborn unveils the story of Asia's resurgence over the past century. In the first single chronicle of the modern economic and political history of the whole continent, Prasenjit K. Basu weaves together a compelling account of how Asia's nations overcame European domination in the twentieth centuryand itsegacies of war and famineto begin theong climb to economic dynamism.Asia Reborn shows British, Dutch and French colonies to have had scant infrastructure or modern industry and to have consequently been far behind Taiwan, Manchuria and Korea in social indicators such asiteracy andife expectancy by mid-century. In West Asia and Burma, the brief European imprint created the ethnic conflicts that still plague these regions. The British Indian Army held the edifice of empire together. Ultimately, it was the undermining of itsegitimacy by the armies of Subhas Bose, Sukarno, Ho Chi Minh and Aung San that helped end the ravaging of Asia during the first half of the twentieth century. By the end of the century, the eastern part of theiberated continent, had emulated Japan and Singapore in transforming itself into an industrious, dynamic and increasingly creative force finally capable of taking its people to new heights in an Asian twenty-first century. Asia Reborn by Prasenjit K. Basu details Asia's rise from European domination to economic dynamism in the 20th century. It highlights the lack of infrastructure in European colonies, ethnic conflicts in West Asia and Burma, and the role of Asian armies in ending ravages. The continent transformed into an industrious force by the end of the century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
