Nathan.In the wake of Malaysia's 13th General Election some commentators speak of a sharpening of ethnic politics - with Prime Minister Najib blaming a "Chinese tsunami" for his government's polling setbacks; others are optimistic about the arrival of a new "non-racialized form of politics" and the emergence of "transethnic solidarity". This book, which engages with both the race paradigm and its opponents, warns that change is likely to come slowly - but is not impossible. Malaysia's race paradigm is a man-made ideological construct - one that has been contested in the past, and could realistically be contested in the future. In confronting the continuing challenge of globalization, Malaysians should not neglect the history of ideas - and ideology - as they search for new options.Electronic booksPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / GeneralbisacshMalaysiaRace relationsMalaysiaPolitics and governmentMalaysiaEconomic policyMalaysiaForeign relationsElectronic books.Electronic books.POLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / General.959.5Milner Anthony Crothers1945-Abdul Rahman EmbongTham Siew YeanInstitut Kajian Malaysia dan Antarabangsa,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465146503321Transforming Malaysia2489285UNINA
