About This Item
Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/near fine. This work's main emphasis is how the gradual creep of British imperial influence from the Treaty of Federation of 1896 to the appointment of Sir Lawrence Guillemard as Governor and High Commissioner in 1920 began to affect the lives of the peninsula's inhabitants, principally the Malays. At the time the book was written it filled a gap in historiography of this period. The preface contains a succinct review of historical writings about the peninsula. 227 pages divided into the following chapters - I - The Setting, II - Federation and the Resident-General, III - The Federal Council, 1909-1920, IV - The Diminution of the Malay Aristocracy, V - The Malay under British Rule together with appendices of important documents governing the expansion of British rule and a bibliography. Near Fine Hardback in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. First Edition Weight: 0.7 kg Post free within Malaysia The dust jacket is clean except for a couple of bits of rubbing. The book itself looks new, but the pages have lost their original freshness
