Sacred cows and crashing boars: ethno-religious minorities and the politics of online representation in Malaysia / Leong, Susan   Journal Article
Leong, Susan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Starting with the incident now known as the cow's head protest, this article traces and unpacks the events, techniques, and conditions surrounding the representation of ethno-religious minorities in Malaysia. The author suggests that the Malaysian Indians' struggle to correct the dominant reading of their community as an impoverished and humbled underclass is a disruption of the dominant cultural order in Malaysia. The struggle is also among the key events to have set in motion a set of dynamics-the visual turn-introduced by new media into the politics of ethno-communal representation in Malaysia. Believing that this situation requires urgent examination the author attempts to outline the problematics of the task.

State religion and discrimination against ethnic minorities / Fox, Jonathan; James, Patrick; Li, Yitan   Journal Article
Fox, Jonathan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract We address two issues neglected in cross-national ethnic conflict literature: the role of state religious exclusivity (SRE) in ethnic conflict and the causes of discrimination against ethnic minorities. We use data from the Minorities at Risk (MAR), Polity, and Religion and State (RAS) datasets to assess whether SRE influences the extent of discrimination and repression against ethnic minorities between 1990 and 2002. The results show that SRE is strongly and significantly associated with discrimination and repression against ethnic minorities. This is true both of ethno-religious minorities and ethnic minorities who are not religiously distinct from the majority group in the state.
