A history of Malaysia

by Barbara Watson Andaya

This third edition of A History of Malaysia brings the story of the country up to date, incorporating the latest scholarship on every period of Malaysian history. A new chapter provides insights into Malaysian history of the last 15 years, including the growing influence of the internet and social media in the political sphere. Fresh analysis of Islam's historical role in the Malay world and how it links with the growing Islamization of Malaysia today makes this a timely study.
