"This book makes an important contribution to understanding the ongoing political evolution of politics in Sarawak. It also provides a case study of the engagement of a dominant state with social forces in a multi-ethnic society."

"Taking off from Joel Migdal's notions of 'the strongman-politician, 'strong society, weak state' and 'the state in society', the author discusseshow the federal government accomodates Taib Mahmud's chief ministership over Sarawak, and how his long tenure is anchored in winning political support fromthe Sarawak Muslim Bumiputera community. An insightful book on contemporary Sarawak politics."

"This volume will go a long way in explaining why a single Melanau family has been able to dominate Sarawak politics for the past four decades."
