The ten essays in this book concern the indigenous minorities of the Malayan Peninsula and Borneo. The ethnic minorities of the former (now generally referred to as Orang Asli or original people) all belong to Malaysia, while those of the latter (widely known as Dayaks) are divided among the several political divisions of the island. The volume explores the differences and similarities among the various groups in these several areas and political contexts.The essays consider issues that range from sheer survival, racism, and ethnocide to assimilation, the complexities of ethnic identity, and cultural policies and practices. They draw upon data ranging from word lists and epic texts to architecture, as well as the more usual fieldwork material. All concern the relationship between indigenous groups and larger societies as defined by the state. Some contributions deal with this relationship in unambiguously negative terms and describe situations involving peril and destruction; others involve cases that show much complexity and ambiguity. After Winzelers introduction, each author deals with a particular group, and Robert Dentan discusses racism and the Orang Asli in general. Although several chapters are concerned with ethnohistorical developments, most focus on contemporary matters. Four essays concern Orang Asli and five are about Bornean peoples. All are based on original information and were prepared for this volume.
