The theme here, in essence, is that the major inconsistency explaining the general unification and modern transformation of Malayan Islam is British colonialism itself. While scholars working on Malaysian social change have hinted at this possibility, the author demonstrates it convincingly and in the process contributes significantly to our knowledge of Malaysian institutional development and to a method of exploring such change by way of legal material.
