Description and Table of Contents
Description
This second edition of a standard text first published twenty years ago incorporates the most recent research in the history of Malaysia from early times to the present day, giving special attention to the economic and cultural influences that have shaped Malaysian society. While a number of recent books deal with the impact of colonial rule and Malaysia's spectacular economic transition, this work is unique because it tracks developments from early times and identifies continuities as well as change. Combining the authors' specialist knowledge of pre-colonial sources with the most recent research, especially on post-independence Malaysia, this new edition will reinforce A History of Malaysia's position as the standard reference for all interested in the heritage of this culturally varied and economically dynamic country.
