Julian C.H. Lee

Julian C.H. Lee is an Economic and Social Research Council fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kent, who also lectures at Monash University, Malaysia. His new book The Malaysian Way of Life is a collection of articles on Malaysian culture and politics by a whole range of thought-provoking and entertaining writers, many of them scholars and researchers themselves. Some of the subjects covered include Malaysian food; the Malaysia boleh syndrome; secularism, religion and mysticism in the Malay world; mosque design in Malaysia and Indonesia; Malaysia's own brand of multiculturalism; and Malay language cinema.
