Ethnicity is generated between us and them. However, in Southeast Asian cases, some recent studies have raised against the applicability of such a clearly bifurcated concept. This article uses the example of intermarriage families between Hakka and Dayak people in the New Villages of Sarawak, and attempts to explain, firstly, driven by nation-state policies, rigid ethnicity seems to have increasingly become the basis for people to self-define their ethnic boundaries, this is an authority-defined identity type. When implemented in people's daily lives, it shows an identity model based on the principle of paternity and bloodline. Secondly, in people's daily lives, ethnic boundary itself is not a zero-sum or either-or relationship, but a difference in the degree of moreor- less. This can also be called an everyday-defined identity type. Therefore, becoming a Hakka and becoming a Dayak presents a continuous process in people's daily lives, which may be affected by class, lifestyle, economic activities, generations, rather than can be explained by formally or officially recognized distinct ethnicity. |
