Drawing on fieldwork carried out among male motor mechanics in the
Chinese diaspora of Penang, Malaysia, this informative volume
explores the links between technology and the masculinization of
power. Malaysia shares an obsession with modernity by way of
technological development and a "can do" entrepreneurial spirit
where technology is held in high esteem. Technology holds such
positive connotations in Malaysian society that it is therefore a
source of individual and national empowerment. Technology and
modernity are therefore important factors when understanding
contemporary Malaysian society. Just as there is very much a
masculine ethos pervading Malaysia's spirit and belief in modernity
and progress, this insightful and rewarding book focuses on
technology and machines in relation to masculinity to provide an
innovative, anthropological perspective of Malaysian society and
the Chinese diaspora.
