Revisiting Colonialism and Colonial Labour: The South Asian Working Class in British Malaya

Sivachandralingam Sundara Raja

This book argues that the prevailing view of colonialism needs to be rethought. It focuses on the experiences of the South Indian working class, large numbers of which came to Malaya in the early years of the twentieth century, emigrating from socially, economically, and environmentally inhospitable south India.
