The Turkic-Turkish Theme in Traditional Malay Literature is the
first detailed study of the representation of the Turkic peoples
and Ottoman Turks in Malay literature between the 14th-19th
centuries. Drawing on a wide range of texts, Vladimir Braginsky
uncovers manifold metamorphoses and diverse forms of localisation
of this Turkic-Turkish theme. This theme has strongly influenced
the religious and political ideals and political mythology of Malay
society. By creating fictional rather than realistic portrayals of
the Turks and Turkey, imagining the king of Rum as the origin point
of Malay dynasties, and dreaming of Ottoman assistance in the jihad
against the colonial powers, Malay literati ultimately sought to
empower the Malay 'self' by bringing it closer to the Turkish
'other'.
