About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001. Reprint. Paperback. Very Good. This is a primarily an analysis of the events that led up to Malaya's independence in 1957. While the impact of the Second World War was significant on nationalist aspirations, the unusual mix of different ethnic groups gave rise to a range of visions as to what an independent Malaya would look like. Harper's research seeks to demonstrate just how these different influences, also buffeted by the upheaval of the 'Emergency', increased urbanisation and social change, contributed to the final result. Very Good Paperback. 417 pages with tables, a bibliography and an index. Weight: 1 kg Post free within Malaysia The cover has a little bit of wear including a single crease down the spine. The binding is tight, text clear and there is no tanning throughout.
