The Genesis of Malayan Chinese Civil Society's Struggle for Constitutional Equality, in Particular Jus Soli
Chinese civil society actors' struggle for the place of the Chinese in an independent Malaya was fundamentally underpinned by their pursuit of the principle of equality and vision of a multicultural nation. The equal application of the principle of nationality by right of birth (jus soli) was central to this struggle, yet most mainstream scholars have simply labelled them as extremists or chauvinists. The Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) was con…

Using the concept of “figured world of nationhood,” I discuss how the subjective, collective perception of the “objective,” virtual reality of a nation is (re)constituted and negotiated through social practices. In the same process, actors come to increasingly identify …
