内容简介： This talk describes the founding of a worker’s “society” among ethnic Chinese in 1978 in a market town in West Malaysia, and how this was possible during the Cold War period, during which ethnic Chinese were suffering strongly from political and legal discrimination by the state in Malaysia.  In order to explain this phenomenon, it is necessary to recover the history of “The Emergency” in Malaysia, during which public politics not only made it difficult to publicly discuss the insurgency of the Malayan Communist Party (Ma Gong) or the colonial state’s counterinsurgency, but also to discuss class inequality and how it affected Chinese and other workers in Malaysia.  Moreover, the talk describes how anthropology played its own modest role in the disappearance of the Chinese working class from everyday discourse in postcolonial Malaysia.
