DESCRIPTION
This is a well-documented, well analyzed and pioneering work on the interplay of ethnicity, religion and politics in three Muslim majority countries of South and Southeast Asia - Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia. It is the result of extensive research on the foundational question of these countries as to whether ethnicity or religion can provide a canopied structure that looks after the problematic issue of national reconstruction. The book has provided an insight into the political processes that have demonstrated determination in consolidating ethnic based national foundation and at the same time in combating religious fundamentalism and militancy.
