Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xv + 272 pages, index, bibliography, appendices, paperback. This book explores the relationship between the Malaysian state and its citizens in creating and maintaining fixed identities. It focuses on new modalities of being Muslim in a modern world. It develops the concept of 'Is…lamicity' to make sense of contemporary modern Islamic religiosity that is applicable to a range of modernizing Muslim countries. This book explores a central tension in identity politics - how the state, civil society and people in general may want to create and maintain cultural, religious and social cohesion but paradoxically their practices in everyday life often run counter to this. Malaysia is no exception. Here, a political elite maintains a hegemonic system of control and cultural dominance but must juggle political pressure from Islamic and Malay supremacists on the one hand and moderate civil society groups on the other. The result is a complex interplay of domination, accommodation and negotiation between the state and its citizens.At the heart of the study is the conjuncture between Malay ethnicity and Islamic faith, hence an examination of the state discourse on 'civilizational Islam', but other areas are also examined, including the arts as a contested space where artists and the state vie to shape the nation's imagination. At the theoretical level, this book is part of a greater narrative about identity politics. It seeks to reach broader understanding of what Heidegger calls being-in-the-world, or the way we relate to other people and places around us. Thus, this book brings a variety of philosophical theory, anthropological insights and social theory together to present an interesting, in-depth ethnographic exploration of contemporary Malay Muslim identity politics.

Paperback. Condition: New. How do refugees create meaningful lives amid systematic exclusion? Based on over seventeen years of research, including two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, this book follows Chin and Rohingya refugees as they navigate urban spaces, build communities, and forge belonging despite legal margi…nalization and social discrimination. Malaysia serves as the primary destination for displaced populations in Southeast Asia, yet it remains outside international refugee protection frameworks, creating conditions of profound precarity that refugees must navigate daily. Gerhard Hoffstaedter draws on the concept of the "polycrisis" to illuminate the intersection of legal exclusion, economic marginalization, health vulnerabilities, and social discrimination that define contemporary displacement. From bureaucratic struggles for recognition to innovative survival strategies in Kuala Lumpur's informal economy, from agricultural place-making in rural settlements to sporting and cultural celebrations that assert dignity and identity, this study reveals the sophisticated ways refugees transform spaces of exclusion into sites of possibility. The comparative analysis of Chin and Rohingya experiences illuminates how religion, education, and international advocacy networks shape protection outcomes in complex ways, while demonstrating the conditional nature of host society acceptance. Moving beyond narratives of either victimhood or resilience, Lives in Limbo documents how refugees actively create alternative forms of social organization and belonging that challenge dominant assumptions about citizenship and the nation-state. As urban refugee populations continue to grow globally and cities worldwide grapple with displacement, these insights become essential for developing more inclusive and humane responses to contemporary migration.
