"Fragmented Vision" provides vivid descriptions and authoritative analyses of current social and cultural movements in Malaysia, especially as these relate to political developments in the country. It contains accounts of Malay political culture, the emergence of feminism, Chinese social and cultural movements, popular culture in Malaysia, ethnicity and the Left, and ethnic minorities. Drawing on recent developments in social theory, the contributions to the volume provide innovative perspectives on the Malaysian scene. The book points to the emergence of a new scholarship of Malaysia marked as never before by a strong Malaysian voice, by a sophisticated awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of recent theories of the cultural dimensions of modernity, and by a critical and committed stance. The authors and editors are all established experts on Malaysian politics, sociology and anthropology, and are either Malaysians themselves or are academics in Australia with long-standing commitment to Malaysia. This book is essential reading for all who are not satisfied with existing attempts to analyze Malaysian culture and society in the terms provided by traditional Western social science, and who are interested in the perspectives being developed by critical scholars on and in Malaysia. MARKET. "Joel S. Kahn, currently Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at Monash University, was previously a Lecturer and Reader in the Department of Anthropology, University College London.
