Description: This timely work examines the nature of ethnicity and its political impact in Southeast Asia. David Brown provides new interpretations of the nature of ethnic consciousness and causes of ethnic tensions through an examination of ethnic politics in Burma, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. Brown examines the influence that theoretical ideas such as neo-patrimonialism, corporatism, ethnocracy, internal colonialism and class have had on various regimes in the countries.
