The University Socialist Club and the Contest for Malaya brings to life various contemporary movements, including democratic, Marxist, socialist, ethnicity-based groups which seek to influence postcolonial Malaya, as well as their fluid relationships with one another, at a time when allies became enemies, and vice versa. An original and vital study, this volume delves into the complex mental worlds and historical milieu of political and student activism.IIAS publications series.Monographs ;7.StudentsPolitical activitySingaporeHistoryStudentsPolitical activityMalaysiaHistorySingaporeHistory1945-1963SingaporePolitics and government1945-1963MalaysiaPolitics and government20th centuryMalaysiaHistoryStudentsPolitical activityHistory.StudentsPolitical activityHistory.959.5705Loh Kah Seng1016510UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910141280803321The University Socialist Club and the contest for Malaya2378651UNINA
