One Malay Village
Thirty Years of Change and Continuity
by Yoshihiro Tsubouchi
|
 |
In a society recognized for its multi-racial
constitution, the relative homogeneity of Kelantan has inspired
researchers to seek the ‘essence’ of ‘Malay-ness’ in the
traditional ethnic events and distinctive form of Islam practiced there.
Drawing on research conducted in the Kelantan community over a 30 year
period, One Malay Village is a comparison of Tubouchi’s initial and
final surveys. Through the juxtaposition of two ‘snap-shots’ taken
20 years apart, he reveals a process of change occurring in the
community which even the locals are at risk of overlooking. The rapid
changes experienced by this Malay community expose the limitations of
analytic frameworks such as urban-rural community, modernization, and
urbanization.
