Andaya, 16/08/2017, University of Sydney One of the themes in Southeast Asian Studies concerns trends in historiography and the issues these raise for specialists.

The open door: early modern Wajorese statecraft and diaspora
Get PDFThis study focuses on the relations between Wajoq, a confederative Bugis polity in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and overseas groups of Wajorese migrants in Makassar, western Sumatra, the Straits of Melaka and eastern Kalimantan during the century following the Makassar War (1666-1669). It argues that these outlying communities interacted with the center in ways similar to those of the local constituents, and that the diaspora can therefore can be seen as part of the state. The ability of the Wajorese government to incorporate these groups rested on a long-standing mechanisms for holding its various components together and on its definition of membership within the state. Wajorese migrants exhibited remarkable versatility in adapting to local conditions in the areas where they settled. While each community developed along its own lines, they employed similar strategies. Foremost among these were intermarriage, diplomacy and warfare. The various communities also cooperated with each other by sharing intelligence, establishing a commercial code of law and providing military assistance. Such cooperation was facilitated by the Bugis concept of pesse meaning solidarity or commiseration. Pesse was the cultural and emotional glue that bound the migrants to the homeland. It was therefore key to the maintenance of links between the constituents of Wajoq. Relations between Wajorese migrants and their homeland intensified in the early eighteenth century when successive rulers in Wajoq deliberately sought to harness the military and commercial potential of the migrant communities. This effort culminated in the l730s when the exile La Maddukelleng returned from eastern Kalimantan, assumed the leadership of Wajoq, rallied the support of the Wajorese communities in Makassar and Sumbawa and attempted to expel the Dutch from South Sulawesi. While ultimately unsuccessful, his campaign exemplifies the manner in which the overseas Wajorese remained an essential part of Wajoq well into the eighteenth century.Ph.D
Health, Welfare, and a Nation-In-Transition: The Philippine Sanidad in the Late U.S. Colonial Period
Get PDFThe dissertation is a history of public health, medicine, and welfare in the late U.S. colonial Philippines. It argues that the late U.S. colonial period, roughly the late 1920s–1941, witnessed the emergence of the Sanidad, the health-centered welfare state that evolved from the health bureaucracy of the early years of colonial conquest. Already captured and predominantly administered by Filipino doctors, the Sanidad was endowed with an expansive public authority that encompassed various levels of policymaking and agenda-setting—from the departmental-ministerial, down to the level of the provincial municipio. At the eve of the Pacific War, the Sanidad's presence had been established throughout the Islands, from the capital Manila to the provinces. It deployed a variety of approaches, from the preventative to curative, from the medico-carceral to medico-technocratic, so much so that the Sanidad generated new forms of material, institutional, and symbolic power. Finally, the Sanidad brought about new articulations of health citizenship from several stakeholders, including public and private medical interests which clashed at various points in history on the issue of state-provided healthcare.Ph.D
