They have been classified - and have classified themselves - with categories as bangsa (nation\/ethnic group) and umma (Islamic network).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn connection with these key concepts, this study explores a variety of dimensions of these and other 'people-grouping' classifications, which also include Malayu, Jawi, and Paranakan. This book examines how these categories played a significant part in the colonial and post-colonial periods in areas ranging from Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It demonstrates the extent to which shifting social conditions interact with the contours of group identity. This is a collaborative work by scholars based in the US, Japan, Malaysia, and Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55181204095350,"sku":"9781920901523","price":100.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29731240.jpg?v=1737626274","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781920901523-bangsa-and-umma","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
