Description

Intellectuals in Developing Societies by Hussein Alatas was first published in 1977. Written during a period of reflection after the author's withdrawal from active politics, the book explores the problems faced by Malaysia under the rule of an elite that had come to power. The author's experience as national chairman of an opposition party and his time in the Malaysian Senate in 1971 gave him insight into the challenges generated by this type of leadership. This book is a thoughtful analysis of these issues, shedding light on the complexities of developing societies. With its focus on the role of elites in shaping the course of development, Intellectuals in Developing Societies remains a relevant and thought-provoking work today.
