Ezra Klein The Ezra Klein Show · Nov 2024 Why people recommend it
Underground Asia by Tim Harper is a historical account detailing underground radicals, global revolutionaries, and the resistance against imperial powers in East, South, and Southeast Asia between 1900 and 1925. On an episode of The Ezra Klein Show titled Are We on the Cusp of a New Political Order?, guest Gary Gerstle and host Ezra Klein discussed the text while exploring unconventional historical perspectives. Gerstle explained that he was actively looking to read something fresh and new on the left, which led him to discover Harper's work. Klein similarly noted that he found it to be a fascinating and unconventional place to study the history of global anti-imperialism. The book chronicles various movements and figures seeking to upend both empire and capitalism during the early twentieth century. Through their discussion, Gerstle and Klein highlighted the globalized nature of early radical networks and how subversive ideas traveled across borders to challenge established geopolitical orders. The conversation positioned Harper's scholarship as an essential read for anyone interested in the transnational roots of modern revolutionary politics and the complex history of decolonization efforts across the Asian continent.
