Christianity among Transnational Chinese
The approximately 5 per cent of the diaspora Chinese who are Christian are faced with the question as to whether religious or sectarian affiliation takes priority over Chinese unity or sub‐Chinese identity. For many, the solution is to form (sub)ethnic congregations, and the issue is how far and how fast they (especially younger members) should “assimilate” linguistically and socially to Anglo‐Canadian or other local styles in the host country. O…
Alternative models of Islamic governance in Southeast Asia
In the prevailing political world order, sovereign nation‐states and secular political authority widely face competition from transnational religious communities, whose authority and agendas derive from different principles. This is particularly evident in Islam, where ulama may acquire political power, while governments appropriate religious interpretations to their own purposes, and even determine who is orthodox or heretical in their domain. T…
Local and Transnational Initiatives Towards Improving Chinese-Indigenous Relations in Post-Suharto Indonesia
The erosion of state-managed Chinese- pribumi relations during the Suharto era and the succeeding economic collapse in Indonesia have left a socially and politically fragile situation where new sources of cohesion and social capital are emerging spontaneously at the local level. Some of this takes the form of voluntary and informal activities, both by local and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and other forms of (global) civil…
Beyond Theology
Once considered exclusively a matter of religion, theology, or scriptural correctness, use of the termfundamentalismhas recently undergone metaphorical expansion into other domains and, depending on whose voice is being heard, may be applied to extreme forms of nationalism, certain socioreligious (especially Islamist) movements, and other forms of extremist ideological expression. An anthropological approach seeks the common elements amid these a…

What is a Malay? situational selection of ethnic identity in a plural society
Most studies to date of ethnic relations, ethnic boundaries, and criteria used to define ethnic status have been biased toward a particular "assimilationist" model drawn from experience in North America, Australia, etc. These have generally assumed that there is some dominant or ethnically "neutral" area of culture by whose standards all "ethnics" can be judged, and that ethnic identity normally changes in one direction only. This paper examines …

HE WORLD CANNOT BUT BE IMPRESSED by the resurgence of a newly confident and powerful Islam, whose political and economic impact has affected the course of many events during the late 1970s. The Islamic revival can be seen both as an international movement and one which has specific implications for individual Muslim countries with different meanings in local situations. What follows is a preliminary review of how the Islamic revival has impressed…

En abordant le problème de l'intégration des Grecs à Toronto, on a adopté la méthode de l'analyse de situation. Suivant l'exemple de plusieurs anthropologistes, cette méthode insiste moins sur l'identité au groupe de référence, et plus sur les exigences normatives d'institutions sociales et de situations particulières. Il ressort que le comportement des immigrants peut osciller entre “Grec” et “Canadien”, suivant les circonstances. Ce point de vu…

Democracy in Plural Societies
While it may be difficult to achieve and maintain stable democratic governments in countries with deep religious, ideological, linguistic, cultural, or ethnic cleavages, Lijphart argues that it is not at all impossible. Through the analysis of political systems in six continents, he demonstrates that what he calls consociational democracy can be successful in severely divided or plural societies. Here, once again, Arend Lijphart is directing our …

Urban Interlude
The question of rural-urban migration in a country in whose population the dimensions of residence occupation and political power are strongly congruent with ethnicity both offers the researcher a rich corpus of material for analysis and the development policy-maker a severe challenge. Rural-urban migration in the Federation of Malaysia inevitably calls particular attention to the disparities between two major segments of the population viz. the …
