Forsaken Causes
Liberal Democracy and Anticommunism in Cold War Laos
Ryan Wolfson-Ford
“An important contribution to our understanding of Laos and anticommunism in Southeast Asia, and a needed correction to Cold War histories that tend to focus on the superpowers. A story of a fallen republic that is still important to tell.”
—Christopher Goscha, author of The Road to Dien Bien Phu: A History of the First War for Vietnam

The Unruly Dead
Spirits, Memory, and State Formation in Timor-Leste
Lia Kent
“An important intervention into transitional justice scholarship. Kent interrupts established narratives and problematizes assumptions about victims and their temporal location in the past. Convincing, persuasive, and eminently readable.”
—Caroline Bennett, University of Sussex
