Just who are ‘the Malays’? This provocative study poses
the question and considers how and why the answers have changed
over time, and from one region to another. Anthony Milner develops
a sustained argument about ethnicity and identity in an historical,
‘Malay’ context. The Malays is a comprehensive
examination of the origins and development of Malay identity,
ethnicity, and consciousness over the past five centuries.
- Covers the political, economic, and cultural development of the
Malays
- Explores the Malay presence in Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia,
Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, as well as the
modern Malay show-state of Malaysia
- Offers diplomatic speculation about ways Malay ethnicity will develop and be challenged in the future
