This book analyses the processes of social and economic change in
Brunei Darussalam. Drawing on recent studies undertaken by both
locally based scholars and senior researchers from outside the
state, the book explores the underlying strengths, characteristics,
and uniqueness of Malay Islamic Monarchy in Brunei Darussalam in a
historical context and examines these in an increasingly
challenging regional and global environment. It considers events in
Brunei's recent history and current socio-cultural transformations,
which give expression to the traumatic years of decolonisation in
Southeast Asia. A wide range of issues focus on foreign,
non-Bruneian narratives of Brunei as against insider or domestic
accounts of the sultanate, the status of minority ethnic groups in
Brunei and the concept of 'Brunei society', as well as changes in
the character and composition of the famous 'water village',
Kampong Ayer, as the cultural heartland of Brunei Malay culture and
the socio-cultural and economic effects of the resettlement of
substantial segments of the population from a 'life on water' to a
'life on land'. A timely and very important study on Brunei
Darussalam, the book will be of interest to anthropologists,
sociologists, historians, geographers, and area studies specialists
in Southeast Asian Studies and Asian Studies.
