Hello, how’s everyone?
Went and touched some grass for a month.
If everything goes well the next few weeks, I’ll have a lot of free time the next few months for some effortposts on SEA history and politics.
One I especially wanted to do for a while was comparing South Africa vs Malaysia, specifically comparing the racialised class structure of their economies.
This is because in my preliminary research I found out that the the South African BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) programme (for all it’s faults) were inspired by Malaysia’s NEP (New Economic Policy) that aimed to redistribute wealth among the racialised classes in Malaysia. I wanted to explore more on that and also assess the failures of the aforementioned policies in actually transforming the racialised economic base of both countries (and improve my understanding of their histories as well).
Stay tuned for that.
If anyone has any material relating at all to this, by all means share it with me.
Looking forward to it
