In his refreshingly insightful and sensitive work, Leon Comber offers an account of the events and influences -- be they social, economic or political -- which culminated in the breakdown of Sino-Malay relations, and erupted into the violent racial riots of 13 May 1969. The work, while it will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars, has been produced for the benefit of the general public and in particular for those whom the author refer to as 'children of 13 May'. Set out in terms the layman can understand with ease, still it manages to convey the full significance of the events, and clearly defines their place in contemporary Malaysian history.

Since World War II the democratic systems adopted by states emerging from colonial rule have in some cases been abandoned and in others suspended or transformed. Two questions arise: Can democracy succeed in newly independent states dominated by communal cleavages? If so, what adjustments are necessary in Western models of democracy? Karl von Vorys contributes new answers by examining the political development of Malaysia, a country which has experimented with changes in the democratic model. He surveys the conditions under which democracy was established in Malaysia, considering the compromises made with communal groups. Particular attention is paid to the reconstruction of the political system after the race riots of May 1969, which the author observed at first hand. Originally published in 1975.
