族群认同与国家认同:以马来西亚为例(下)

Ethnic Identities and National Identities

运用马来西亚的事例强调了族群性与国家权力之间的关系并强调了涉及不同族群的政治程序的重要意义。族群的形成涉及一系列的过程 ,这些过程使人们在一国家内意识到一个共同想象的社群。创制族群和国家认同的过程实际上构成了同一历史过程的重要部分。在一国家范畴内 ,不同的族群对国家认同有不同的憧憬 ,因此有必要将国家认同与族群性相关联思考。论述了马来人和华人的族群划分问题以及沙捞越土著人复杂的族群认同意识和族群形成问题。

Using examples from Malaysia, this paper emphasizes the importance of relating ethnicity to the power of the state and political processes involving different ethnic groups.The processes that create ethnic and national identities are part and parcel of the same historical process.The paper also describes Malay and Chinese ethnicity as well as the complex ethnic identification and ethnogenesis of the indigenous peoples of Sarawak.
