“This excellent collection of essays provides us with the contemporary authority-defined and everyday-defined articulations expressed in various platforms. It is a must read for students, researchers and scholars of Malaysian studies and the discipline of politics in general.”
-Distinguished Professor Datuk Dr. Shamsul Amri Baharuddin FASc, Founding Director, Institute of Ethnic Studies, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
“Responding to socio-political changes in Malaysia, the editors bring together a fascinating collection of discourse-analytical studies investigating previously publicly taboo topics: race, religion and royalty. Through analyses of a variety of texts- from plays to podcasts- approached from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives within discourse studies, the volume provides a comprehensive and stimulating treatment of an otherwise understudied context: 3R discourses in Malaysia.”
- Christopher Hart, Professor of Linguistics, Lancaster University, UK
This insightful volume investigates the powerful intersections of race, religion and royalty (3R) in Malaysia by applying rigorous linguistic and literary analyses. Grounded in Discourse Studies, it reveals the language features and strategies employed to articulate identities through these three social categories. Examining a diverse range of historical and contemporary texts in English and Malay, from digital and print media to spoken interactions, the chapters explore how individuals and groups reproduce, resist or renegotiate the meanings of 3R. This collection offers a vital resource to scholars, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in Language, Linguistics and Literature to understand the enduring significance of race, religion and royalty in Malaysian discourse.
