Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Malaysia presents
visitors with an exciting and fascinating medley of
cultures--Malay, Chinese, Indian, Arab, Eurasian, Dayak, and
aboriginal. Though very much a modern nation state, its diverse
communities retain a considerable amount of their unique heritage
and, in its customs, religions, festivals, costume, cuisine,
languages, and architecture, Malaysian society perfectly
illustrates the virtues of a vibrant pluralism. Culture Smart!
Malaysia sets out to help you navigate this rich and complex
cultural mix. It provides a succinct and straightforward
introduction to Malaysian history and society, explains the deeper
core values of the different ethnic groups, and guides you through
the maze of Malaysian etiquette and behaviour for both social and
business settings. Have a more meaningful and successful time
abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.
Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help
you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and
communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and
avoid faux pas.

It provides an overview of the major theoretical issues and themes which have emerged from the engagement of anthropologists with South-East Asian communities; a succinct historical survey and analysis of the peoples and cultures of the region. Most importantly the volume reveals the vitally important role which the study of the area has occupied in the development of the concepts and methods of anthropology: from the perspectives of Edmund Leach to Clifford Geertz, Maurice Freedman to Claude Levi-Strauss; Lauriston Sharp to Melford Spiro.
