Playing for Malaya

**Playing for Malaya** tells the story of an extended Eurasian family living in Malaya in the 1930s and 1940s. Based on interviews and documentary evidence, it follows family members through their experiences as refugees, POWs, internees and civilians under Japanese occupation. It also connects them to their wider social context: Eurasians were not treated as Europeans by the British administration, but the Japanese were deeply suspicious of them, and the community suffered accordingly.

The book contains a number of photographs, most never previously published.
