Description
Summary:[...]While Dr. Turnbull has clear personal opinions of the respective merits or defects of the governors of the Straits Settlements, she is less willing to pass judgment on the British merchant community, who BOEKBESPREKINGEN 499 constituted the only vocal body of public opinion. [...]economie disputes such as implementation of the agrarian laws tended to become religious and political as well and were also fought out in non-economie terms. According to her the unilateral actions represent "an issue, an arena in which differing religious or cultural orientation, reinforced by political organization, came face to face". [...]the attention paid to polygynous marriages, more than to the far more numerous monogamous units.
