Abstract
Abstract: Writings on Malaysian history follow trends that affect history writing around the world, but not always at the same pace. This article revolves around the significance of centring the periphery in looking at Malaysian history and discusses the effects of innovations associated with the New History, the new economic history, the Annales school, women’s history and gender studies, post-modernism, and global history on historical writing in Malaysia. It begins with a broad regional focus and culminates in a discussion of how Penang, a peripheral actor from some perspectives, also serves as a centre.
