The Aboriginal People of Peninsular Malaysia

From the Forest to the Urban Jungle

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

To date, most studies of Malaysia's aboriginal people, the Orang Asli, have studied the community in either the rural, or forest, settings. This book, however, outlines the dynamics of Orang Asli migration to Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia's most urbanised region - and explores the lived experiences of these individuals in the urban space.
