Nathan. 330 $aIn 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. 607 $aMalaysia$xRace relations 607 $aMalaysia$xPolitics and government 607 $aMalaysia$xEconomic policy 607 $aMalaysia$xForeign relations 676 $a959.5 702 $aMilner$b Anthony Crothers$f1945- 702 $aAbdul Rahman Embong 702 $aTham$b Siew Yean 712 02$aInstitut Kajian Malaysia dan Antarabangsa, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815425003321 996 $aTransforming Malaysia$93981801 997 $aUNINA
