Black and white photographic plates, 278pp, bibliography, index, very good copy in dustjacket. This book examines the impact of politics upon education and Sarawak's ethnically complex social structure, and interprets the consequences from a number of theoretical standpoints. One effect of the main stream of development and modernization decreed by the ideologues of Malaysia is illustrated by a study of the formal schooling of children from a relatively remote Bidayuh area. Similarly, attention is drawn to the social disintegration of the egalitarian and democratic Bidayuh and Iban communities, the government's Draconian measures to muffle the people's protests, and the endemic and horrendous politico-economic corruption within the country."
