Hence social analysis of Malaysian society; be it based on the `ethnicity' or `class' or `culture' or `identity' paradigm, has been framed in the same epistemological framework. This essay discusses critically the origin of each of the said paradigms, especially its development from the sphere of `public advocacy' to the realm of `academic analyses', in a historical and longitudinal perspectie from the colonial era to the contemporary period, and in due process highlights not only the co-existence and competing nature of these paradigms but also the major contributors and their contributons within each paradigm. |
