This book provides a picture of a globalized Malaysia where its
conventionally-conceived multi-ethnic composition of Malays,
Chinese, Indians and Others rub shoulders with or interact more
intimately on a daily basis with transnational ethnoscapes of
migrant workers, asylum seekers, international students, and
foreign spouses. It asks how, as Malaysians become wedded to their
citizenship, they extend the same awareness of rights and claims to
non-citizens such as African international students, the Indonesian
maids who look after their children, and the Chins and stateless
Rohingyas who populate the landscape as refugees and undocumented
workers. What are the possibilities of forming cosmopolitan
solidarities with non-Malaysians? And what are the newcomers'
strategies for place-making and belonging? And to bring the
discussions of citizenship in Malaysia into relief, it is also
asked how Malaysians abroad seek to enact and make meaningful their
Malaysian citizenship. A diversity of experiences shapes the
narratives in the chapters: of racialization, rejection,
boundary-making and exclusivity, resilience and adaptation. This
book was published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
