Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Malay-language term for the indigenous minority peoples of Peninsular Malaysia, “Orang Asli”, covers at least 19 culturally and linguistically distinct subgroups. This volume is a comprehensive survey of current understandings of Malaysia’s Orang Asli communities (including contributions from scholars within the Orang Asli community), looking at language, archaeology, history, religion and issues of education, health and social change, as well as questions of land rights and control of resources. Until about 1960 most Orang Asli lived in small camps and villages in the coastal and interior forests, or in isolated rural areas, and made their living by various combinations of hunting, gathering, fishing, agriculture, and trading forest products. By the end of the century, logging, economic development projects such as oil palm plantations, and resettlement programmes have displaced many Orang Asli communities and disrupted long-established social and cultural practices. The chapters in the present volume show Orang Asli responses to the challenges posed by a rapidly changing world. The authors also highlight the importance of Orang Asli studies for the anthropological understanding of small-scale indigenous societies in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising of 18 sub-ethnic groups the indigenous communities, or better known as the Orang Asli, located in the Peninsular Malaysia, is a unique community in terms of their culture, lifestyle, and heritage. The life of the Orang Asli, popularly referred to as the Forest People, is highly intertwined with forest resources which makes the community a great source of information and traditional knowledge, particularly in the use of medicinal plants. This book covers three important issues to explain and gain insights into the sustainability of the Orang Asli: Social and demographics Sustainability of resource use Governance, administration and management The book presents research to help bridge the gaps and provides a baseline reference for further research regarding the sustainability of the Orang Asli. This book is intended for researchers and graduate students to help gain an understanding of the Orang Asli. By highlighting the plight of Orang Asli the authors hope that this community will be recognised and become a part of society. More research is required to help the 178,197 Orang Asli achieve the sustainable development goals for their community in the Peninsular Malaysia.

Download or read book The Aboriginal People of Peninsular Malaysia written by Govindran Jegatesen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, most studies of Malaysia’s aboriginal people, the Orang Asli, have studied the community in either the rural or forest settings. This book, however, outlines the dynamics of Orang Asli migration to Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia’s most urbanised region – and explores the lived experiences of these individuals in the urban space. The book begins by charting the history of the Orang Asli under British colonial rule followed by the community’s experiences under the Malaysian government, in an attempt to provide a deeper understanding of the economic and social complexities facing the Orang Asli today. Based on extensive original research, the book goes on to discuss the interesting changes taking place among urban Orang Asli migrants with regards to gender dynamics, while exploring the unique ways in which these urban indigenous migrants maintain close links with their home communities in the rural spaces of Peninsular Malaysia. The book concludes by assessing how research on the urban Orang Asli fits into broader studies of urban and contemporary indigeneity in both Malaysia and abroad.
Download or read book Genetic and Dental Profiles of Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia Penerbit USM written by Zafarina Zainuddin and published by Penerbit USM. This book was released on with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few decades have witnessed extensive research on the Orang Asli population. However, until recently, there has been no proper compilation of scientific data on the Orang Asli, especially on their genetic and dental profiles. The Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia is among the oldest populations in the world and therefore knowledge on their genotype and phenotype is extremely precious, especially in providing insight into their evolutionary process and in helping mitigate potential challenges that they may face in the future. Research by various groups as compiled in this book suggests that the Orang Asli is indeed facing significant challenges for their survival - effects that resulted from changes in their lifestyle, environmental and socio-economical pressures, as well as inbreeding. These negative 'pressures' therefore need to be effectively addressed to ensure their survival. This book contains important information on the genetic and dental profiles of the Orang Asli that will be useful as background data for future research as well as to assist the relevant authorities to design and implement meaningful policies for the Orang Asli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orang Asli are the indigenous people of Peninsula Malaysia and like other indigenous peoples around the world face assimilation, cultural denigration, displacement, and dispossession. In this thesis I argue that the Orang Asli face settler-colonial control and violence at the hands of the Malay dominated Malaysian nation-state. Their experience is both similar to and different from the settler-colonial violence and control that indigenous peoples face in Western settler-colonial contexts such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. As Agozino (2004) has argued, because criminology as a discipline is rooted in Western colonial imperialism it is not surprising that it has not yet been able to see beyond the colonialism of the Western settler state. Even indigenous criminology, an emerging and significant subfield of criminology, has yet to comment on non-Western settler-colonial indigenous experiences. This gives rise to a gap that this thesis aims to address. In this thesis, I conduct an examination of current and historical literature, academic literature, and grey literature such as legislative and policy documents, media releases, judicial writings, and case law. Using this literature base, I argue utilising settler governmentality as an analytical lens, that the Orang Asli have faced and continue to face the Malaysian nation-state’s settler tactics of control and management. Settler governmentality is an emerging theory of governmentality posited by indigenous and postcolonial scholars based on Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality and neo-Foucauldian theorisations on power, race, and empire. I argue that tactics of settler governance seek to disempower, silence, control, and manipulate the Orang Asli. A settler governmentality reading reveals the deliberate, active, and passive failures of the Malaysian nation-state to recognise the Orang Asli’s rights and freedoms. These failures are in effect state crimes against the Orang Asli.
