Class, Gender, and Ethnicity: The Neglect of an Integrated Framework Leslie O'Brien School of Social Sciences, The Flinders University of South Australia This paper' does not purport to be an exhaustive review of the literature which deals with class, gender, or ethnic differentiation in Malaysia. Instead, a few studies have been selected as examples of the most commonly adopted perspective in the study of Malaysian society, namely, the plural society "model" and/or modernization "theory". The assumptions underlying these approaches will be examined in an attempt to evaluate their applicability, their usefulness in explaining Malayan/Malaysian society.
