Description

This ethnographic study examines the relationship between technology, masculinity and power through fieldwork conducted among male motor mechanics in Penang's Chinese diaspora community. The book explores how technology functions as a source of individual and national empowerment within Malaysian society, where modernity and technological development are deeply valued as markers of progress and entrepreneurial success. By focusing on mechanics as a case study, the author reveals how technology intersects with gender identity and social hierarchy in contemporary Malaysia, offering insights into the broader cultural significance of the "can do" spirit that characterises the nation's approach to technological advancement and modernisation.

Key Features

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among male motor mechanics in Penang's Chinese diaspora to examine technology's role in shaping contemporary masculinity.

Analyses how Malaysian society values technology as a source of both individual empowerment and national development within its modernisation agenda.

Explores the links between technological mastery, power dynamics and masculine identity in a non-Western context, contributing to anthropological understanding of gender studies.

Published by Routledge, offering scholarly analysis of technology's cultural significance in Malaysian society and beyond.
