It is a subject that until now has received comparatively limited attention from mainstream social scientists working on Southeast Asian societies. The volume helps remedy that deficit by detailing the ways in which religion, gender, place, ethnicity, nation-state formation, migration and economic activity work their way into and reflect in the lives of ordinary Bruneians. In a first of its kind, all the lead authors of the chapter contributions are local Bruneian scholars, and the editors skilfully bring the study of Brunei into the fold of the sociology of everyday life from multiple disciplinary directions. By engaging local scholars to document everyday concerns that matter to them, the volume presents a collage of distinct but interrelated case studies that have been previously undocumented or relatively underappreciated. These interior portrayals render new angles of vision, scale and nuance to our understandings of Brunei often overlooked by mainstream inquiry. Each in its own way speaks to how structures and institutions express themselves through complex processes to influence the lives of inhabitants. Academic scholars, university students and others interested in the study of contemporary Brunei Darussalam will find this volume an invaluable resource for unravelling its diversity and textures. At the same time, it hopefully stimulates critical reflection on positionality, hierarchies of knowledge production, cultural diversity and the ways in which we approach the social science study of Brunei. ?I wish to commend the editors for bringing this volume to fruition. It is an important book in the context of Southeast Asian sociology and even more important for the development of our social, geographical, cultural and historical knowledge of Brunei.? ?Victor T.King, University of Leeds. 410 0$aAsia in Transition,$x2364-8260 ;$v20 606 $aCulture 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aRace 606 $aAnthropology of religion 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aIslam 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aSociety 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aAnthropology of Religion 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aIslam 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aAnthropology of religion. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aIslam. 615 14$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aSociety. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aAnthropology of Religion. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aIslam. 676 $a306 702 $aKwen Fee$b Lian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCarnegie$b Paul J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHassan$b Noor Hasharina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910684560303321 996 $aRe)presenting Brunei Darussalam$93087740 997 $aUNINA
