Description

People of the Maldive Islands by Clarence Maloney is a seminal work that offers an in-depth cultural and historical exploration of the Maldives. First published in 1980, the book provides a comprehensive narrative of the island nation's origins, settlement patterns, and societal transformations. The book is divided into two main sections. The first half delves into the Maldives' early history, tracing its settlement by people from South India and Sri Lanka and their subsequent conversion to Islam. Maloney draws upon classical Indian and European sources to reconstruct this historical backdrop. The second half offers an anthropological perspective of life in the mid-1970s, focusing on aspects such as society, politics, religion, and the economy. This section provides a snapshot of Maldivian life before the rapid modernization and international influences that began to reshape the country in the following decades.
