Published in the aftermath of the fall of the BN government, Minorities Matter looks at the contemporary situation in Malaysian politics and society, with a particular focus on those who are often left out of the national narrative in order to understand the ways in which minority groups - from women to East Malaysians, the Orang Asli, refugees and more - have contributed towards, and been affected by, political change in Malaysia.

With a particular focus on the problem of political culture, Minorities Matter highlights both the political and social changes, as well as continuities, witnessed since the 14th General Election highlighting, through the lens of minority groups, the contemporary contestations which now dominate Malaysian politics.
