Highlighting the importance of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in engaging the active participation of Malaysians of Chinese descent in the mainstream politics of their adopted homeland, the author charts that organization's history, social and ideological background, and pivotal role in the events surrounding the defeat of communist insurgency and the attainment of independence. |
