Review Quotes:
"This book is an innovative and transnational study that demonstrates a rigorous and revelatory comprehension of Malaysian racial formation in a global context. The literary readings and their framing, as well as the incisive movement through key racial projects in Malaysia's postcolonial history, are all exceptional." - Josephine Nock-Hee Park, author of Cold War Friendships: Korea, Vietnam, and Asian American Literature
