537. van der SCHOT, Wim E. M. 1986. The Batek of Taman Negara: A hunters/gatherers community in a Malay national park. Ph.D. thesis, Anthropologisch-Sociologisch Centrum, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Amsterdam — ethnography of forest-people relations in Taman Negara (focusing on the Atok and Tahan groups). Fieldwork was conducted at a strategic moment, between the controversy over the proposed Tembeling Dam and the release of the Taman Negara Master Plan. Study adds little to what is known of the Batek but does give some insight into the reasoning of park authorities in the midst of these political events. [LTP]

Berlin: Königliches Museum für Völkerkunde. Veroffentlichungen Bd. 3, 3/4 Heft, Bd. 2, 3/4 Heft, W. Spemann — Vaughan-Stevens travelled widely in the Peninsula from 1889–1896, having been commissioned by the Virchow group of Berlin, and in association with the Königlichen Museum für Völkerkunde (Ethnographic Museum) there. The publications listed here were published by the Museum from ethnographic notes sent back to Berlin and edited by Museum staff. According to Skeat (Skagden vol. 1), Vaughan-Stevens’ work dominated the ethnographic period of 1890 to 1906, mainly because he produced so much of it. Subsequent fieldwork found much of Vaughan-Stevens’ work to be exaggerated and speculative; furthermore, he was vague about the locations of his studies. Those parts of his material that are reliable and ethnographically useful are reproduced, cited, or discussed throughout Skagden (especially passages from these two volumes). Thus Vaughan-Stevens is as famous for what he got wrong as for what he got right. Criticisms of his personality and his work —even his name!—are common fare in the serious literature of the pre-War period. Though little read today, his work remains significant, for he wrote up some of the earliest, systematic first-hand written accounts of some Orang Asli groups. [LTP; KME in #1706 no. 2]
