Representation, Identity and Multiculturalism in Sarawak

Zawawi Ibrahim (ed.) (2008) Representation, Identity and Multiculturalism in Sarawak, Kajang: Persatuan Sains Sosial Malaysia.

Professor Zawawi brings together experienced and early career researchers to provide new ethnographic material on ethnicity, important new data on under-researched groups and contemplation of some of the complexities of identity construction, maintenance and transformation. This edited volume is recommended reading for all those of us who have been attracted to Sarawak because of its great cultural diversity - its multiculturalism, a characteristic to be treasured and celebrated in a rapidly globalising world and something that we need to know more about. - Victor T. King, University of Leeds

'The value of this book is that by treating multiculturalism not only as a pattern of social management, but also as a way of understanding identity, it offers us a way of interpreting the particular nature of the conflicts about race-ethnicity, gender, and class in Sarawak' - Sharmani Patricia Gabriel, Cultural Anthropology

Zawawi Ibrahim is a Professor at Universiti Teknologi MARA.
