| The "Malay World" of the book's title is here defined as the region historically within the domain of Malay sultanates (kerajaan Melayu) , extending from South Thailand, the Malay peninsula, to Borneo and Sumatra and intervening islands, rather than the broader cultural/linguistic zone often evoked. : There are semisovereign statelets at sea, tonguein-cheek micro-monarchies in the suburbs, even make-believe sultanates on the Web.
