William R. Roff – Afterword 411 the Japanese regime in the peninsula, and how one might justify or defend it, has seldom been much of an issue in <strong>Malaysia</strong>n historiography – as it has been, for example, in the Philippines. Mustapha’s memoir, however, with its repeated reflections on ‘guilt’ and the need to expiate this or explain it away, suggests that this is not at all a simple matter. To the detached observer, there seems no need to excuse Malays, in pursuit of nationalist ends, for assisting either Japanese rule or the British rule that preceded (and indeed followed) it. Clearly, Mustapha, strongly aware of active and armed (mainly left-wing) anti-Japanese resistance from the jungle, did not see it quite like this. Along with the repressive British security apparatus after re-occupation, this clearly undermined his capacity, and perhaps that of others, to play a fuller and more open part in the independence struggle. But there are other questions here too. It seems possible that Mustapha was a good deal further to the left in his allegiances than emerges here (the repeated appearance in the text at crucial junctures of his selfconfessed ‘mentor’, the Indonesian ‘Trotskyist’ Sutan Jenain, rather suggests this). If so, and given the obloquy attaching in Malaya from 1948 to communism, Mustapha’s problems in finding a satisfactory identity and navigating a course for himself among these perilous shoals – collaboration on one bank, communism on the other – come more clearly into view. These cannot have been problems for him alone. Thirdly – and this stems in part from the previous argument – Mustapha’s memoirs are eloquent testimony to the tremendous damage that the colonial relationship and its inequalities does, both to individuals and to the societies of which they are a part. The petty humiliations and indignities to which many aspirant Malays were subject (as Mustapha details for himself); the relative immiserisation of a patronised Malay peasantry; the denial of the right to determine, or even to discuss in any radical way, the future of one’s own people: all speak to the vitiating and ultimately destructive effects of colonial rule. If these are lessons we still have to learn at the outset of the 21 st century, Mustapha Hussain speaks to them. Above all, his is an intensely human account of one man’s life and concerns, testimony to a long personal struggle for justice and freedom. Small wonder that he and many of his audience were in tears as he ended its initial recital. Note 1. Ahmad Boestamam. Carving the Path to the Summit. Edited with an Introduction by William R.
