This book is the first monograph to provide an in-depth and
multifaceted study of the processes of ethnicization and identity
construction in Malaysia, from the colonial period until the
present. In his analysis, the author takes multiple layers of
ethnicization into account and shows how these have shaped
Malaysia's socio-political system and society in different ways.
Moving beyond a center-focused, top-down-oriented perception of
identity politics, this work highlights on the one hand the role
and position of a multitude of actors - from grassroots level to
mainstream politics - who contribute to the persistence of
ethnicization in Malaysia in numerous ways. On the other hand, it
also shows where and under which circumstances possibilities for
transethnic cooperation arise. A multi-disciplinary approach,
substantiated by empirical data based on qualitative and
quantitative methodologies, provides a perspective that moves
beyond stereotypical narrations of Malaysia as being constituted by
mainly three separate, homogenous groups. At the same time, this
book gives a detailed and comprehensive account of political and
historical developments and constitutes a rich resource for any
Malaysia-related research. While the focus of this publication lies
on Malaysia, the concept of manifestations and implementations of
ethnicization provides an analytical framework that can also be
applied in the study of ethnicization and identity construction
elsewhere in the region and beyond.
