520 |a Shamanism and traditional beliefs of the Batek and Jahai (who belong to the Semang-Negrito groups of Peninsular Malaysia), although currently probably in decline in sedentary populations that have converted to Islam, are still extremely important for these cultures. This paper will attempt to examine the dichotomies and tensions between traditional beliefs and the Batek and Jahai healing system on the one hand, and the surrounding Muslim world, ever pressing for rapid modernization and assimilation of other cultures, on the other. These tensions and the dichotomy between ‘health and illness’ appear to be expressed ‘in the different perceptions of the dominant culture and that of the indigenous groups’ in terms of the opposition between ‘rainforest and city,”pure and impure,’ ‘identity and assimilation’ and ‘nature and culture.’
