Abstract
A survey of the interaction of race, ethnicity, nationalism and politics in Malaysia. It examines the historical roots of national and ethnic identity, the sources of conflict and social cohesion, and contemporary manifestations of ethnic tension and solidarity in areas such as economic policy, cultural politics, education and migration. In doing so, the contributors delineate a variety of possible paths to reconciliation and the construction of a genuinely multiethnic society.--From publisher description.
