In this lecture, Dr Bob Olivier explains the Islamisation process that has unfolded in Malaysia over the last fifty years. Based on his forthcoming book published by Palgrave Macmillan, Dr Olivier will present the findings from in-depth interviews with 100 of Malaysia’s “educated classes”, or “elite”, regarding their reactions to the changes that have accompanied Islamisation in the country, and how they feel it has impacted on them. The seminar will also shed light on the impacts the change in government in May 2019 is likely to have.
The lecture will be followed by light refreshments.
