Migration has played a significant role in Southeast Asia’s history. The term “Etrangers” may refer to Southeast Asian Chinese and Indians, and also Western colonialists as well as Southeast Asians alienated from foreign societies and colonial authorities. Therefore, in this research cluster, we examine idea that native Southeast Asians and foreigners identify themselves and recognize each other not only by nationality, but also by self-alienation, and that this ‘self-alienation’, between contempt and envy, led to social disturbance as well as cultural assimilation.
