Orang Asli dan Kolonial British


Ada sebuah artikel bertajuk 'Contacts and contrasts: the British vs the Orang Asli in Colonial Malaya' terbit pada 2012. Artikel oleh Adela S Baer (b.1931) tebal 25 m/surat.

Introduction; How the British Regarded the Orang Asli; How the Orang Asli Regarded the British; British Portraits of Individual Orang Asli Men and Women; British Justification for Taking Orang Asli Land; The Lingering Colonial Effects on Orang Asli.

Sedikit nota tentang tulisan Al-Atas dalam buku beliau Mitos:

In discussing the colonial-era population in Malaya, Al-atas did not acknowledge the presence of Orang Asli (pp.228-229). He stated flatly that the country belonged to the Malays (p.95) and that they gave up “their” land to the British (p.127). While, as Al-atas noted (p.102), Europeans forced themselves on the Malays, it was not only Europeans who forced themselves on the Orang Asli. Al-atas censured the colonial harm to majority groups in Southeast Asia, not the harm to minorities, such as the Orang Asli in his own nation-state.

Since the Orang Asli were not Malays not Moslem and lacking rajas or sultans with whom the British could palaver, they were deemed insignificant or, at times, quaint museum specimens. [palaver means a lot of fuss about something].
