Malay society in the late nineteenth century: the beginnings of change
Gullick, J. M.
Oxford University Press
, 1989
; English
; 430 Pages
Social change among the Malay communities of the Peninsular states slowly gathered momentum towards the end of the nineteenth century. It was more than a reaction to the imposition of colonial rule, which began in 1874 and was not completed until 1914: from the middle of the century a variety of alien and external socio-economic factors began to affect Malay society everywhere, even in those states which at the time still retained their independence.
This process of change is the main theme of the book, as a study in Malay social history. It is concerned with the position of the rulers and of the aristocratic class, and the situation of the peasant class. The author selects and pieces together much contemporary evidence, found both in the extant official records and in the personal reminiscences of individuals, Malays as well as Europeans, who lived in or visited the Malay States, to present a picture of a society finding stability in its Islamic faith and its traditions, yet adapting to a different world.
The author was a member of the Malayan Civil Service between 1945 and 1957 and is also the author of Indigenous Political Systems of Western Malaya.

Natives of sarawak : survival in borneo's vanishing forests
Hong, Evelyne
Institut Masyarakat
, 1987
; English
; 280 Pages
This book is an in-depth analysis of the problems faced by the native peoples of Sarawak, most of whom live in long-house communities in Borneo's tropical forests.
It describes the traditional social and economic system of swidden agriculture, and how their forest resources and way of life are increasingly threatened by the forces of 'modernisation'.
Focus is given on how the natives' customary lands are being encroached upon by the timber industry and development projects such as the construction of large dams. Included are oral testimonies from several native communities about their plight.
The book also analyses the social and environmental impact of logging activities, and provides suggestions of what can be done to resolve the natives's problems.
The book is essential reading for those interested in Sarawak, and its natives, the fate of the tropical forests and the rights of indigenous peoples in the Third World

In MALAYSIAN WILDLIFE, the author's major concern is the wide-spread deforestation that could lead to the eventual extinction of these winsome creatures. This book is also an in-depth commentary on the rich fauna of Malaysia, written by Dr Causey
