This project aims to advance understanding of Cold War culture and decolonisation through Chinese diaspora experience and literature. By unearthing a corpus of underexplored archives, using literary analysis and ethnography, this interdisciplinary project offers the first comprehensive study of Sinophone literature and print culture in Cold War Malaya. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of how Chinese diaspora writers claim subjecthood amidst anti-communist violence in Southeast Asia, which shed light on the complex interplay of geopolitics, literature and identity. This project benefits Australian understanding of Chinese diaspora responses to global superpower rivalry during the ‘old’ Cold War amidst a similar phenomenon today.

这个项目旨在通过中国侨民的经历和文学作品来增进对冷战文化和非殖民主义的理解。通过挖掘未被发掘的档案语料库，使用文学分析和民族志，这个跨学科项目提供了第一个关于冷战时期马来亚地区华语文学和印刷文化的全面研究。预期的结果包括对散居海外的华裔作家如何在东南亚的反共暴力中声称自己是主体的新认识，这揭示了地缘政治、文学和身份认同之间的复杂相互作用。这一项目有利于澳大利亚了解中国侨民对冷战期间全球超级大国竞争的反应，而现在也出现了类似的现象。
