Tracing the political evolution of plantation labor in Malaysia from the colonial period to the present, this original study focuses on the formation and control of plantation labor, and the manner in which it resisted capital. The author discusses the emergence and demise of left-wing unions in the plantations and the nature of the colonial state's policy toward labor in the post-war period. He includes a detailed account of the events which led to the formation of the National Union of Plantation Workers, the emergence of alternative unions in the 1960s, and the fundamental neglect of plantation workers. By looking in detail at the role of the state and its relationship to the plantation social structure, the author concludes that the state is basically autonomous and that the capital formed in the plantations cannot be defined as merchant.

This book analyses the mobilisation of race, rights and the law in Malaysia. It examines the Indian community in Malaysia, a quiet minority which consists of the former Indian Tamil plantation labour community and the urban Indian middle-class. The first part of the book explores the role played by British colonial laws and policies during the British colonial period in Malaya, from the 1890s to 1956, in the construction of an Indian "race" in Malaya, the racialization of labour laws and policies and labour-based mobilisation culminated in the 1940s. The second part investigates the mobilisation trends of the Indian community from 1957 (at the onset of Independent Malaya) to 2018. It shows a gradual shift in the Indian community from a "quiet minority" into a mass mobilising collective or social movement, known as the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF), in 2007. The author shows that activist lawyers and Indian mobilisers played a crucial part in organizing a civil disobedience strategy of framing grievances as political rights and using the law as a site of contention in order to claim legal rights through strategic litigation. Highly interdisciplinary in nature, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers examining the role of the law and rights in areas such as sociolegal studies, law and society scholarship, law and the postcolonial, social movement studies, migration and labour studies, Asian law and Southeast Asian Studies.

In 1938, noting that the bulk of the Indian population formed a "e;landless proletariat"e; and despairing of the ability of the factionalized Indian community to unite in pursuit of common objectives, activist K.A. Neelakanda Ayer forecast that the fate of Indians in Malaya would be to become "e;Tragic orphans"e; of whom India has forgotten and Malaya looks down upon with contempt"e;. Ayer's words continue to resonate; as a minority group in a nation dominated politically by colonially derived narratives of "e;race"e; and ethnicity and riven by the imperatives of religion, the general trajectory of the economically and politically impotent Indian community has been one of increasing irrelevance. This book explores the history of the modern Indian presence in Malaysia, and traces the vital role played by the Indian community in the construction of contemporary Malaysia. In this comprehensive new study, Carl Vadivella Belle offers fresh insights on the Indian experience spanning the period from the colonial recruitment of Indian labour to the post-Merdeka political, economic and social marginalization of Indians. While recent Indian challenges to the political status quo - a regime described as that of "e;benign neglect"e; - promoted Indian hopes of reform, change and uplift, the author concludes that the dictates of political discourse permeated by the ideologies of communalism offer limited prospects for meaningful change.

Malaysia's multicultural society supports one of the most dynamic economies in Asia. This completely revised new edition of the standard text, first published twenty years ago, traces the history of the country from early times to the present day. The authors give particular attention to the evolution of Malay polities and their close links with indigenous groups who lived on the oceans and in the deep jungles of the region, from Sumatra to Borneo. This provides the background to the establishment of the Malay port of Melaka, which was conquered by the Portuguese in 1511, foreshadowing the establishment of a British colonial regime in the late nineteenth century. Although the large numbers of Chinese and Indian migrants who arrived to work in the tin and rubber industries contributed to economic expansion, colonial policies did not encourage communal interaction. The authors trace the process by which post-independence leaders in Malaya attempted to counter the legacy of ethnic hostility while answering Malay demands for an affirmation of their rights and a stronger commitment to Islam. The incorporation of the Borneo states of Sarawak and Sabah into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 rendered the goal of welding a nation from areas that were geographically separated and culturally disparate even more problematic. The intense emotions attached to issues of race were made tragically evident in the racial riots of May 1969, which this book sees as a watershed in modern Malaysian history. As Malaysia enters the twenty-first century, the government is determined to oversee the transition to an economy focused on manufacturing and advanced technology, and to eliminate poverty and the association between occupation and race. While several recent studies deal with the impact of colonial rule and Malaysia's spectacular economic transition, this book is unique because it tracks developments from early times and identifies continuities as well as change. Combining the authors' specialist knowledge of precolonial sources with the most recent contemporary research, this new edition reinforces the position of A History of Malaysia position as a standard reference for all those interested in the historical processes which led to the emergence of this culturally varied and economically energetic country.

This book traces the developnment of trade unions in Peninsular Malaysia over the last century from colonial times to the early 1990's, stressing the key role of the state in shaping the role and nature of organized labour during various time periods. Trade unions were not allowed in BritishMalaya before 1940. After the Japanese Occupation, organized labour was effectively mobilized by the left, and contributed significantly to the anti-colonial struggle for Independence. However, from 1948 severe repression directed against the left brought an abrupt end to this development. Fromthe early 1950's, the colonial authorities sought to wean support from the communist-led insurgency by encouraging moderate or responsible unionists, but this did not prevent the resurgence of labour militancy in the mid-1950's on the eve of Independence. After a brief honeymoon period with thepost-colonial government, union activity mounted again in the 1960's until repression against the left from the mid-1960's took its toll. Extra-parliamentary rule after the May 1969 riots saw increased government efforts to subordinate labour to economic developmental priorities, particulary thoseof export-orientated industrialization. In the early 1970's, however, there were also concessions to organized labour in an attempt to promote tripartite corporatism. But in the late 1970's, however, there has been further subordination of labour to a changing developmentalist agenda increasinglyfavourable to private business interests.
