Raffles and religion: A Study of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles’ discourse on religions amongst Malays
This book examines the thoughts and writings of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles on the religions practiced by Malay society in the early 19th century. Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied explores how Raffles's views on Islam and local Malay beliefs were shaped by the colonial context, Orientalism, and British political interests in Southeast Asia. Through historical and discursive analysis, the book reveals the relationship between colonial knowledge and power, and how colonial representations of Malay society influenced policies and perceptions of religion in the region. This work is an important contribution to the study of colonial history, religion, and Malay society.
