A Malay Village and Malaysia:
Social Values and Rural Development
by
Peter J. Wilson
This is an anthropological study of a rubber tapping community in Jandram Hilir in Selangor, West Malaysia. Its main focus is how such a community interacts with the outside world. In its 171 pages the author looks at
- Malay villager stereotypes of outsiders,
- how villagers react to outside events,
- how the economics of the village governs its interaction with outsiders and
- the basis of social relations amongst the villagers themselves.
- There is also a bibliography and glossary of Malay colloquial terms used in the text.
