| 520 | 3 | _aA study of the achievement of Malaysia's independence in 1957, not primarily through the struggle between Imperial Britain and nationalist elites, but through the internal struggles that the late colonial rule fostered at all levels of Malayan society. The author argues that the late colonial state was a pivotal force in Malaya after the Second World War, particularly in attempts to mould a plural society into a viable nation-state. Incorporates new research on the Malayan Emergency, social policy and rural devlopment, and urbanisation and popular culture. | |
