Conceptualizing the Malay World explores the interrelations between
the indigenization of ""colonial knowledge"" and the quest for
pan-Malay identity in Malaya. In what way, to what extent, and for
what purpose did the colonized accept, modify, and adapt the
colonizer's worldview? To answer these questions, this study
examines textbooks produced by British and Malay authors for
teaching Malay history and geography to the local populace in
teacher training colleges, then conducts a case study of one of
these students who would go on to become a prominent nationalist
activist. It shows that while the colonizers brought new concepts
of Malayness to Malaya, the indigenization of colonial knowledge
entailed significant reinterpretation, transformation, and
appropriation.
