Description

Explore the deep connections between technological advancement and social power in this informative volume from Routledge. Based on extensive fieldwork among male motor mechanics within the Chinese diaspora of Penang, Malaysia, this ethnographic study examines how technology serves as a tool for individual and national empowerment. In Malaysian society, technology carries positive connotations and is linked to a strong entrepreneurial spirit. This book examines how the pursuit of modernity and technological development shapes contemporary Malaysian society. By looking at the relationship between technical skill and masculinity, the text provides a unique perspective on how a nation views progress and development through the lens of its people and their work.
