The classic and withering exposition of a myth that was used time and time
again by colonial powers to justify their rule. The myth has the simple premise
that 'the natives' do not behave and think like we do, so they need help - from
outsiders. Alatas looks briefly at the image of Malays held by outsiders and
then in more depth at how it was transformed into being the raison d'etre of
colonial rule. Very Good Hardback in a New Paperback. Reprint, First published in 1977. 267 pages. Please see the scan of the contents page for further
details.
