Information About
This study is a revised and updated version of Heng's doctoral thesis presented to the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, in 1984. Heng made the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) the central player in this narrative because of its crucial role in weaning the Chinese away from their preoccupation with the old motherland and engaging their active participation in the mainstream politics of their new homeland. In this sense, the MCA's history is a history of the indigenization of Chinese politics in Malaysia.
