An innovative analysis of the Malayan Communist Party in the context of the emergence of nationalism in Southeast Asia and the interplay of overseas Chinese networks and the Comintern. Based on new archival research, Belogurova provides fresh international perspectives on the history of Malaysia, Chinese communism, the Cold War, and decolonization.

In this innovative reading, the development of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) is explored in the context of an emerging nationalism in Southeast Asia, the interplay of overseas Chinese networks and the Comintern. Based on extensive new archival material, Anna Belogurova shows how the MCP was shaped by the historical contingencies of anti-imperialism in Southeast Asia, long-term Chinese migration trends, networks, identity, and the organizational practices of the Comintern. This is the story of how a group of left-leaning Chinese migrant intellectuals engaged with global forces to create a relevant and lasting Malayan national identity, providing fresh international perspectives on the history of Malaysia, Chinese communism, the Cold War, and decolonization.

Anna Belogurova is a research fellow at the Institute for China Studies, the Freie Universität Berlin.
