Book Description
MATI hidup dan susah senang dipegang oleh ALLAH S.W.T. Ini pegangan Lahuma sekarang. Malah, telah menjadi pegangan yang kukuh sejak zaman datuknya, Haji Debasa. Namun, Lahuma tetap meneruskan pegangan itu walaupun datuknya telah lama pulang ke rahmatullah. Jeha juga serupa pegangannya. Dia cuma ikut suaminya saja. Ikutan itu bukan sekadar ikutan buta tuli semata-mata, tetapi Jeha pun ada pegang-an juga. Dia percaya sungguh bahawa mati hidup dan susah senang dipegang oleh ALLAH S.W.T. Kesenangan dan kebahagiaan diterima de-ngan penuh kesyukuran. Diterima dengan ucapan alhamdulillah seribu kali. Penderitaan serta malapetaka yang menimpa pun diterima dengan ucapan alhamdulillah seribu kali juga. Demikian pegangan Lahuma dan isterinya, Jeha.

Book Description
Writing a New Society is the first extended study of the novel in Malay and is a groundbreaking study of the relationship between social change and literary practice. The book traces the emergence of the genre from the 1920s and, drawing on 26 of Malaysia's best-known novels, argues that the form was developed as a vehicle for transforming Malay ideas about themselves and their society. Virginia Hooker focuses on the underlying anxiety about racial identity, which underpins much of Malay writing and examines how ethnic identity is constructed and expressed. In a radical break with the traditional notion of Malay society as being totally dependent on the Sultan, the book shows how the novelists centre their writings on descriptions of 'ordinary' Malays, and present the household as the primary site of change. Here the novels develop and describe a 'private' sphere where Malays who previously had no rights begin to exercise their initiative. The concept of social equality which inspires the novelists subverts many of the themes of modern Malay politics.

Book Description
Memalangi Penindasan merupakan kumpulan tulisan W.N. Khuzairey berkisar kepada soal kemiskinan yang disebabkan oleh penindasan, diadun menerusi pembacaan, pengamatan dan hasil kuliah yang dihadiri penulis. Penindasan memang berlaku di mana-mana. Bercakap soal penindasan bukanlah mudah lebih-lebih lagi sehingga menekan kelompok-kelompok lemah dan diasingkan. Ia umpama akar pepohon yang berselirat di sana-sini sehingga memakan masa kita untuk mencari puncanya. Dua kemungkinan akan berlaku; pertamanya kita akan terus mencari, dan seterusnya kita berputus asa. Dunia hari ini semakin berkecamuk. Jurang antara kaya miskin semakin melebar. Manusia pula bertindak seakan binatang ekonomi, objektifnya harus mendatangkan keuntungan. Disebabkan itu bagi penulis, kita perlu kembali mempersoalkan bagaimana nasib kaum miskin? Siapa yang perlu membela mereka? Adakah mereka harus dibiarkan terbujur kaku akibat kelaparan dan kedinginan kerana tiada tempat tinggal atau keselamatan yang selalu diancam. Apakah alternatif yang mereka punyai? Menerusi kumpulan tulisan ini, penulis memecahkan hambatan bagi memalangi kemiskinan kepada tujuh cabang: (i) sudut pandang masyarakat mengenai isu kemiskinan, (ii) agama yang membela kaum tertindas, (iii) sejarah yang membebaskan manusia daripada belenggu penindasan, (iv) pendidikan yang mencerahkan dan membebaskan, (v) korupsi yang secara senyap menjadi pembunuh kaum miskin melarat (vi) Sastera dan cerminan realiti, dan (vii) kelompok intelektual yang berfungsi. Keseluruhan hambatan ini memperlihatkan bagaimana agama, sejarah, pendidikan, sastera dan nilai berfungsi untuk masyarakat.

Book Description
The literary canon is one of the most lively areas of debate in contemporary literary studies. This set of essays is both timely and original in its focus on the canon in South-East Asian literatures, covering Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. They vary in focus, from the broad panoramic survey of trends in a national literature to very specific discussions of the role of individuals in shaping a canon or the place of a particular text within a tradition, and from contemporary to traditional literature. They include discussions of the development of prose fiction, censorship and artistic freedom, the role of westerners in codifying indigenous literatures, the writing of literary history, the development of literary criticism and indigenous aesthetics.

Book Description
The fifteen chapters in this volume explore both new and tested theoretical perspectives on literature and culture at large; this multiplicity of discourses is a reflection of the implicit discontent in conforming to the New World Order, and a contestation against hierarchical relationships between countries, which inform the social, cultural and political climates of weaker nations. With the political and economic hegemony of stronger nations, weaker nations run the risk of being dominated, or at the very least, having their own national identity and sovereignty steeped in ambivalence in the face of a globalised culture. This volume hopes to bring together critical views in relation to the construction of cultural studies in the Western framework, the application of literary theory in the readings of vernacular literature, contestation of the mainstream scientistic methodology of cultural evaluation, the role of English literature in Asian cultures, the application of postcolonial theory in literature, literary ethics in relation to Islamic literature, as well as the Islamic and Western conceptions of democracy. More than half of the articles in this collection centre on Islam as a guiding principle, or as a context through which critical perspectives are made on literature and culture in today’s globalised world order. This inadvertent foregrounding of Islam reflects a continuing dialogue on and with Islam and its significant impact on existing academic discourses founded upon Western-style scholarship.
