Reviews

The author successfully portrays the historical world of Kedah. . .The author makes important points; for example, he points out that the historical acceptance of foreign rulers for the Malays are well explained by the covenant that existed between the ruler and subject, even when a sovereign was not Malay. . . .The methodology of this book is not only applicable to restructuring the historical world but also in foreseeing and interpreting the future. * Pacific Affairs * Maziar Mozaffari Falarti's book is different: a radically novel presentation of the history of Kedah, one of the oldest powerhouses on the Malay Peninsula, inspired by a wide variety of texts that have been unknown and inaccesible to other historians of Malaysia. The author manages to make sense of Kedah in a global context, and in the process, leads our understanding of the dynamics of might and right in the Malay world and beyond along new vistas. Impressive and exciting work. -- Hendrik M. J. Maier, Luce Professor of Southeast Asian Studies, University of California, Riverside
