The Invention of Politics in Colonial Malaya: Contesting Nationalism and the Expansion of the Public Sphere

Anthony Milner (Australian National University, Canberra)

This innovative book is a pioneering study of political debate in an important Southeast Asian society. It re-examines the formative period in Malay nationalism and argues against using nationalism as the paradigm of analysis. By interrogating key Malay texts from the 19th and 20th centuries, Anthony Milner shows how contested, and problematic, the sphere of nationalism was.
