16 x 26 cm. ; pg.xiii, 178 ; South-East Asian Social Science Monographs Series. Foreword, preface, tables, figures, plates, notes on contributors, bibliography, indexes. "This collection of five studies on the Malay psyche ventures into an area familiar enough in popular terminology but little understood and even less explored. They focus on a subject which many would consider to be beyond definition--love, the emotions of courtship and early marriage, the state of mind of the silat performer and of the trance dancer in relation to his art, and the well-known but barely comprehended phenomena of amok and latah.
