About this title

Synopsis

Based on years of field work, this book examines the way in which non-Malay ethnic groups of the Kelantan Plain, particularly the Chinese and Thai minorities, have adapted culturally to their environment and analyzes their relationship to the larger Malay state. Focusing on a region in which the non-Malay groups are true minorities, Winzeler demonstrates that the non-Malay groups of villagers share many of the same cultural patterns-and problems-as their Malay counterparts. Finally, he suggests that religious or cultural differences alone do not generate ethnic conflict in the region.
