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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naoki Soda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192090137X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781920901370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trans Pacific Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Naoki Soda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217577488639,"sku":"9781920901370","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94a481db-c558-4c3a-96d9-5c4f844c33fe.jpg?v=1771998114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conceptualizing-the-malay-world-naoki-soda-9781920901370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
