About This Book

An ethnographic study of the cultural politics surrounding conflict over urban redevelopment in Penang, Malaysia, in the 1990s. The author documents a community's struggle against relentless urban excavation and shows how changing notions of culture and identity affect, and are affected by, the ongoing development of new kinds of urban space.
