{"product_id":"wang-gungwu-gungwu-wang-9789814311533","title":"Wang Gungwu: Junzi: Scholar-Gentleman in Conversation with Asad-UL Iqbal Latif","description":"This book of interviews with Professor Wang Gungwu, published to felicitate him on his 80th birthday in 2010, seeks to convey to a general audience something of the life, times and thoughts of a leading historian, Southeast Asianist, Sinologist and public intellectual. The interviews flesh out Professor Wangs views on being Chinese in Malaya; his experience of living and working in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia; the Vietnam War; Hong Kong and its return to China; the rise of China; Taiwans, Japans and Indias place in the emerging scheme of things; and on the United States in an age of terrorism and war. The book includes an interview with his wife, Mrs Margaret Wang, on their life together for half a century. Two interviews by scholars on Professor Wangs work are also included, as are his curriculum vitae and a select bibliography of his works. What comes across in this book is how Professor Wang was buffeted by feral times and hostile worlds but responded to them as a left-liberal humanist who refused to cut ideological corners. This book records his response to tumultuous times on hindsight, but with a keen sense of having lived through the times of which he speaks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gungwu Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814311537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814311533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"Gungwu Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440443633919,"sku":"9789814311533","price":74.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_005ad9b8-38cf-44d9-9ded-c5bd677e8169.jpg?v=1777182471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wang-gungwu-gungwu-wang-9789814311533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
