EXCERPT
If we are searching for a comprehensive reference on Brunei society and its history from the early days of the sultanate to the present, this Modern Anthropology of Southeast Asia Series that carries these two volumes on Brunei Darussalam is a delightful intellectual feast. Edited by two prominent scholars on Southeast Asian anthropology, Victor T. King, at the University of Leeds, and Stephen C. Druce, at the University of Brunei Darussalam with contributors who are recognised in their respective fields sharing their chapters, the two books celebrate the golden jubilee of the landmark publication of the doctoral study by Donald E. Brown, entitled Brunei: The Structure and History of a Bornean Malay Sultanate (Brown 1970), as a special monograph in 1970 by the Brunei Museum. Brown’s pioneering study on Brunei was funded by the London-Cornell project for his PhD at Cornell.
