A History of Malaysia

While several recent studies deal with the impact of colonial rule and Malaysia's spectacular economic transition, this book 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 contemporary research, this new edition reinforces A History of Malaysia's position as a standard reference for all those interested in the historical processes that led to the emergence of this culturally varied and economically energetic country.
