Scope and content
File consists of two data papers from the Southeast Asia Program, Department of Asian Studies, Cornell University.
The first is "Maternity and its Rituals in Bang Chan" by Jane Richardson Hanks (1963). Excerpt, from page 3: "The purpose of this study is to set down the ethnographic data concerning childbirth in Bang Chan, following out the economic, social, religious, and cosmological aspects as needed to clarify the behavior and the psychological attitudes noted."
The second report is "Singapore and Malaysia" by Milton E. Osborne (1964). Excerpt, p.v: "...the People's Action Party's decision to contest the Malayan elections in April 1964 appears to have been an important turning point in Malaysian politics... This survey seeks to describe and analyze the events between the assumption of power by the People's Action Party in Singapore in 1959 and that party's decision to contest the Malayan elections in 1964."
