Summary: "A History of Sarawak under Its Two White Rajahs 1839-1908" by S. Baring-Gould and C. A. Bampfylde is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the governance and development of Sarawak, providing insights into the lives and policies of its two renowned leaders, James Brooke and his nephew Charles Brooke. The text explores the complex interplay of colonial influence, native relations, and regional challenges during a transformative period in Sarawak’s history. At the start of the book, the preface sets the stage, highlighting the authors’ intentions to provide a factual and personal narrative of Sarawak's history during the tenure of the White Rajahs. The Rajah, C. Brooke, disclaims any authorship while expressing the belief that personal experiences under his rule can give readers a more accurate portrayal than future accounts might. He reflects on their governance philosophy, emphasizing kindness and friendship with the native populations, which he narratively believes were pivotal to their success in the region. The opening chapters subsequently introduce the geographical context of Borneo, its natural resources, and the diverse cultures within Sarawak, hinting at the intricate narratives to follow regarding the state's history and governance.
