Trauma of Tamil labourers during British colonisation in Malaya as reflected in Malaysian Tamil folk songs
description This study was aimed to discover the historical background of the Malaysian Tamilfolk songs, to analyse the trauma and to evaluate the impacts of the trauma experienced by theTamil labourers during the British colonisation in Malaya as reflected in the Malaysian Tamil folksongs. Qualitative approaches with historical, descriptive and explanatory designs were used forthis study. A total of 146 Malaysian Tamil folk songs that met the research objectives wereanalysed. Historical trauma theory and thematic analysis were used to collect information from thefolk songs. Data were analysed using narrative and discourse analysis. Narrative analysis describesthe content of the folk songs while discourse analysis explains the usage of terms and words usedin the folk songs that can be related to the emotions and trauma. The findings showed that physicalabuse, economic destruction and segregation were the significant traumas experienced by the Tamillabourers during the British colonisation. The result also showed that physical, social andpsychological impacts affected the Tamil labourers significantly. As a conclusion, Malaysian Tamilfolk songs exposed the suffering, frustration and the shattered hopes of the Tamil labourers duringthe British colonisation.
