A Short History of Malaysia:
Linking East and West
--
Virginia Matheson Hooker
In order to illustrate Malaysia's rapid transformation from an idyllic tropical paradise into a significant Southeast Asian nation by the end of the last century, Hooker concentrates on the lives of a selected group of individuals who have lived through and, in some cases, contributed to that change. In the course this process, she notes, the past is never too far away: this not only nurtures Malaysia's new nationhood, but can also be manipulated to undermine it. 345 pages.
