Southeast Asian Identities

Subtitle : Culture d the Politics of Representation in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand

Abstract :
Cultural politics have undergone a resurgence in the last decade: nationalism in Eastern and Central Europe, tribalism in Africa, racial and ethnic movements in the Americas and Australasia have left the world in the grip of the politics of recognition. Until this book, however, little attention has been paid to the significance of cultural politics in Southeast Asia, whose people are often assumed to be dedicated to the single goal of economic development. This study of a variety of Southeast Asian countries - including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand - reveals that such issues of culture and identity politics are, in fact, of primary importance to the people of the region and their leaders.
