Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Malaysia is a prosperous, developing nation in Southeast Asia. Its citizens face the problems that beset people's lives all over the world. These problems are about the family and economic security, as well as the existential choices we customarily associate with the residents of developed societies. Through the anthropologist's art of ethnography and cultural analysis, the book shows the way ordinary Malaysians manage the contingencies, the chanciness in their daily existence. In a mildly postcolonial gesture, Doing Lifework in Malaysia transports the work of Heidegger, Arendt, Camus, Sartre-masters of European existentialism-to a recognizably 'Third World' situation. The result is a series of penetrating and illuminating essays that cover a broad range of social actors, among them a Tamil domestic servant, the film maker Jasmin Ahmed, a Malay corporate wheeler-and-dealer turned ecologist, a group of Chinese traders in the Sarawak interior and a female ex-communist insurgent. As such, this fascinating study examines the Malaysian social life afresh, and in the process brings into focus issues not normally covered in other accounts: Hindu worship as a defiance against tradition, gift exchange and globalization, race envy and psychoanalysis, petite capitalism and solitude.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book tells the story of a Chinese family owned shophouse in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, through the lens of petite capitalism. Neo-Marxist in spirit, literary in tone, it recounts the triumph and despair of a family in its struggles against the financial frailty and structural limitations of a pervasive economic form of the Chinese diaspora: the small family business.The daily realities of the Chinese shophouse are captured by the art of ethnography and the author's own memories. The book examines Chinese petite capitalism afresh by bringing into focus issues not usually covered by writers on the subject-the concept of petite capitalism, the architecture of the Asian shophouse, the Hakka kinship, 'tiger parenting' and Chinese childrearing, the culture of debt, family legacy, and Chinese inheritance.The book reveals the business acumen for which the Chinese diaspora are renowned as part truth and part myth. Schumpeter's 'creative destruction' hauntsthe small Chinese family business where hard work and individual efforts are helpless against the ever-evolving nature of capitalism.…
