The work of Rupert Emerson, a professor of political sciences and international relations who served in various U.S. government positions and was on the faculty of Harvard University for forty-three years.
This is an important study on the doctrine of indirect rule of 'dependent peoples', focused upon the colonial situation in the Federated and Unfederated Malay States. The work is preceded by a general description and history of the region discussed, in terms of geography, racial patterns, population, agriculture and plantations. An account of the region's first three centuries of contact with the West, the extension of British rule, and the conclusions to be drawn from this is then the focus.
