About the publication
This is a study of national identity in a plural society. Malaysia is a plural society divided by racial, linguistic, and religious cleavages. It had attempted to forge a national identity overriding these primordial identities. This study probes the extent to which national identity exists among these groups. It also attempts to detect the relationship between national identity and political attitudes towards the nation and political knowledge.
