The vast and ancient topic of kingship in India has mostly been studied from the perspectives of rulers and other elites. But what constitutes sovereignty viewed from "below"? This book – ethnographic and comparative in its essence – deals with indigenous conceptualizations of sovereignty taking as its starting point a local proverb that connects the ritual (Dasara) of the king with festivals performed by his "tribal" subjects. The first part of the book initially introduces some pan-Indian ideas of kingship and proceeds to discuss indigenous notions of sovereignty as represented in rituals and myths in the region concerned (highland Odisha). The second part is devoted to the investigation of the proverbial performances. Mainly based on historical sources first the Dasara festival of the king is discussed, subsequently the indigenous rituals are described and analyzed, which the author ethnographically documented around the turn of the millennium. Ultimately, the proverb and the rituals constitute the idea of a sacrificial polity in which rulers and ruled share sovereignty in the sense that they are co-responsible for the flow of life.

From British to Bumiputera Rule Local Politics and Rural Development in Peninsular Malaysia


Free Download A. B. Shamsul, "From British to Bumiputera Rule: Local Politics and Rural Development in Peninsular Malaysia"
English | 2004 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 9971988062, 9971988224 | PDF | 7,8 mb
Based on two years of intensive fieldwork, this detailed community study breaks new ground. Combining anthropological and historical disciplines, it deals with village politics amongst rural Malays growing oilpalm and rubber. This study traces the continuing influence of the colonial and post-colonial state policies on contemporary rural development. It shows that village political cleavages are not just the result of modern electoral practices introduced after World War II but are responses to politico-economic events at the national and even international levels. It examines not only inter-party rivalry between the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) and Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) but also the intra-party politics of both organizations at the local level.

Done Making Do 1Party Rule Ends in Malaysia


Free Download Ooi Kee Beng, "Done Making Do: 1Party Rule Ends in Malaysia"
English | 2013 | pages: 185 | ISBN: 9814459801 | PDF | 3,9 mb
The past five years have held tremendous significance for the process of nation building in Malaysia. Civil society and voters – especially in urban areas – are making new and strong demands on the government, in fact on governance per se; the opposition parties that managed to pull off successful electoral upsets in 2008 have formed a viable coalition to challenge the long-term federal government; and the federal government itself has been trying to adopt a reformist image without alienating its numerous conservative supporters. Although the government’s slogan of 1Malaysia was meant to signify national unity, it lacked credibility because many of the systemic deficiencies of sustained one party – 1Party – rule still remained. This collection of articles studies various aspects of change now pushed into the foreground for discussion.

Political (In)Justice Authoritarianism and the Rule of Law in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina


Free Download Anthony W. Pereira, "Political (In)Justice: Authoritarianism and the Rule of Law in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina"
English | 2005 | pages: 281 | ISBN: 0822958856 | PDF | 1,3 mb
Why do attempts by authoritarian regimes to legalize their political repression differ so dramatically? Why do some dispense with the law altogether, while others scrupulously modify constitutions, pass new laws, and organize political trials? Political (In)Justice answers these questions by comparing the legal aspects of political repression in three recent military regimes: Brazil (1964-1985); Chile (1973-1990); and Argentina (1976-1983). By focusing on political trials as a reflection of each regime’s overall approach to the law, Anthony Pereira argues that the practice of each regime can be explained by examining the long-term relationship between the judiciary and the military. Brazil was marked by a high degree of judicial-military integration and cooperation; Chile’s military essentially usurped judicial authority; and in Argentina, the military negated the judiciary altogether. Pereira extends the judicial-military framework to other authoritarian regimes-Salazar’s Portugal, Hitler’s Germany, and Franco’s Spain-and a democracy (the United States), to illuminate historical and contemporary aspects of state coercion and the rule of law.
