This book examines the lives of the Malay and Cham Muslims in
Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and examines how they co-exist and
live in societies that are dominated by an alternative consensus
and are illiberal and non-democratic in nature. Focusing on two
major Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, both of whom live as
minorities in societies that are not democratic and have a history
of hostility and repression towards non-conforming ideas, the book
explains their circumstances, the choices and life decisions they
have to make, and how minorities can thrive in an unfriendly,
monocultural environment. Based on original field work and
research, the author analyses how people live, and how they adapt
to societies which are not motivated by Western liberal ideals of
multiculturalism. The book also offers a unique perspective on how
Islam develops in an environment where it is seen as alien and
disloyal. A useful contribution analyzing historical and
post-colonial experiences of Muslim minorities and how they survive
and evolve over the course of state monopoly in mainland Southeast
Asia, this book will be of interest to academics working on Muslim
minorities, Asian Religion and Southeast Asian Studies.
