Ethnic and Racial Minorities in Asia explores the relationship
between ethnic minority rights and citizenship in Asia. Occupying a
prominent place on the global map of conflict, Asia is one of the
most ethnically diverse and racially divided regions in the world.
It is also the scene of some of the most contrasting state
responses to ethnic and racial conflicts, ranging from violent
military repression and coercion on the one hand, to offers of
autonomy and other forms of self-rule aimed at granting minorities
more equal and inclusive citizenship on the other.
This volume combines conceptual debates about citizenship with
case studies of ethnic minorities from across the Asian region,
with a particular emphasis on Southeast Asia. The contributing
authors question the nature of citizenship in the broader sense of
identity, belonging, and the rights and responsibilities of ethnic
minorities in relation to sovereign nation-states. They examine a
wide range of key issues including minority rights claims, ethnic
and racial conflict, citizenship, constructions and representations
of identity, post-colonialism and human security.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic
and Racial Studies.
