IDENTITY AND THE STATE IN MALAYSIA

First Edition. Publisher's original pictoral boards without dustwrapper, as issued. A fine copy with some light rubbing to the boards and a little bumping to the panel corners. Previous owners inscription to the front free endpaper, but otherwise the contents are clean throughout and the binding, tight and square.

Using Kadazan of Sabah as a case study, the 'book examines national, ethnic and local identities in post - colonial states. It shows the importance of the connection between lived experience and identity and belonging, and by doing so, provides a deeper and fuller explanation of the apparently contradictory conflict between different collective forms of identification and the way in which they are employed in reference to everyday situations' - publisher's blurb.
