Questioning Modernity in Indonesia and Malaysia

Klappentext Represents a contribution to a broader and on-going project to examine the concept of modernity in the analysis of Indonesian and Malaysian economic, political, and cultural processes. Written by scholars from both inside and outside the region, the case studies show how the process of conducting social research in Southeast Asia might be rethought on the basis of a revised understanding of modernity. Taken together, the essays in this volume pose questions of relevant theories of modernity not only in Indonesia and Malaysia but in general.
