TL;DR: A preliminary review of how the Islamic revival has impressed itself on the Muslim population of Malaysia and become an integral part of the political, economic, ethnic, linguistic and cultural scene can be found in this paper.
Abstract: HE WORLD CANNOT BUT BE IMPRESSED by the resurgence of a newly confident and powerful Islam, whose political and economic impact has affected the course of many events during the late 1970s. The Islamic revival can be seen both as an international movement and one which has specific implications for individual Muslim countries with different meanings in local situations. What follows is a preliminary review of how the Islamic revival has impressed itself on the Muslim population of Malaysia and become an integral part of the political, economic, ethnic, linguistic and cultural scene. Over the past ten years in particular, Islam has been both an agent and symbol of the many rapid social changes now occurring on the peninsula. Not only has religion become a source of identity for various elements in Malaysian society, distinguishing Malays and non-Malays, but it also lies at the centre of a crisis of legitimacy now emerging among the various elites of Malay society.

TL;DR: The origins of west coast racism in the frustrated vision of a white British Columbia and an unshakeable belief in the unassimilability of the Asian immigrant were identified in this paper.
Abstract: Between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries white British Columbians directed recurring outbursts of prejudice against the Chinese, Japanese, and East Indians who lived among them. In \"White Canada Forever\", Peter Ward reveals the full extent and periodic virulence of west coast racism. Ward draws upon a rich record of events and opinion in the provincial press, manuscript collections, and successive federal enquiries and royal commissions on Asian immigration. He locates the origins of west coast racism in the frustrated vision of a white British Columbia and an unshakeable belief in the unassimilability of the Asian immigrant. Canadian attitudes were dominated by a series of interlocking, hostile stereotypes derived from western perceptions of Asia and modified by the encounter between whites and Asians on the north Pacific coast. Public pressure on local, provincial, and federal governments led to discriminatory policies in the field of immigration and employment, and culminated in the forced relocation of west coast Japanese residents during World War II.
TL;DR: Coedes as discussed by the authors argues that Southeast Asian civilisation had no roots, and was purely a secondary development arising from the imposition of an advanced agricultural economy and technology, and subsequently of Indian and Chinese socio-cultural concepts, on the "frizzy-haired, black savages" of the Chinese chronicles.
Abstract: I BEGIN WITH this quotation from Coedes because I believe it illustrates admirably the views held by most historians, epigraphers, geographers, and other social scientists on the nature of prehistoric Southeast Asia up until quite recently. Prior to about 1970 most scholars considered that Southeast Asian civilisation had no roots, and was purely a secondary development arising from the imposition of an advanced agricultural economy and technology, and subsequently of Indian and Chinese socio-cultural concepts, on the "frizzy-haired, black savages" of the Chinese chronicles. The operative explanatory concepts in Southeast Asian preand protohistory were simple and straightforward: diffusion and migration of a unidirectional nature from the more advanced centres of India and China into the backwater between. Thus, for example, Fisher's major geographical work, first published in 1964, explains Southeast Asian prehistory solely in terms of the migrations of "Nesiots" (roughly speaking, Malayan physical types) and later "Pareoeans" (southern Mongoloids) into an area previously inhabited by backward Australo-Melanesians. The first of these migrant groups brought agriculture, while the latter introduced metallurgy. Here again, we have a simple and straightforward picture which carries us up to the begin-
