Secularism, Decolonisation, and the Cold War in South and Southeast - Asi

Summary

Based on extensive archival research in Asia, Europe, and the United States this book suggests a new approach to interpreting and explaining secularism not as a Western ideology but as a distinct form of historical practice in 20th century global history that evolved at the interplay of local, national, and transnational dynamics.
