Kaleidoscope 

The Memoirs of P.G. Lim 

P.G. Lim 

Tan Sri P.G. Lim has led a remarkable 

and eventful life at the heart of 

Malaysian affairs, as personal friend 

and confidante of all of independent 

Malaysia’s prime ministers. She 

found herself first thrust into the 

limelight when in 1953 she undertook 

the defence of a young communist 

woman who had acted as a 

messenger for the Communist Party. 

As a young lawyer she confronted 

the full British judicial establishment 

and made her name by saving the woman’s life. 

Thereafter, P.G. plunged into an active life of politics 

mixed with her legal activities, often involving cases in 

which she acted for trades unions. Her life then took an 

unexpected turn as she became involved as a diplomat, 

serving successively as Malaysia’s ambassador to the United 

Nations, Yugoslavia and Austria, and Brussels and the 

European Economic Community. 

Her memoirs, which are generously illustrated with 

previously unpublished photos, will be essential reading 

for those interested in Malaysia’s development since 

Independence. - Dato’ Henry S. Barlow

TJ Danaraj 

Doctor and Teacher Extraordinaire 

Wong Hee Ong 

TJ Danaraj dedicated his whole life time 

career towards medical education in 

Singapore and in Malaysia. After World 

War II he joined the teaching staff of 

the King Edward College of Medicine 

which in 1949 became the Faculty of 

Medicine in the University of Malaya in 

Singapore. He was elected Dean of the 

Faculty in 1960. 

In 1963 the newly independent 

Malaysia decided to set up its own 

medical school as the country was facing an acute shortage 

of doctors. TJ Danaraj was the obvious choice. He accepted 

the appointment as Foundation Dean as a new challenge. 

Not only was the structure of the University of Malaya 

Medical Centre completed in record time but the first batch 

of doctors graduated in 1969, six years after the decision 

was taken to build the medical school. His role in establishing 

a second medical school in Saudi Arabia and how he 

overcame the difficulties encountered is also described in the 

book. 

TJ Danaraj fulfilled his life long passion of excellence in 

Medical Education to produce doctors of high caliber and left 

his mark as the Father of Medical Education in Singapore, 

Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

Malaysia 

Road Map for Achieving Vision 2020 

Koon Yew Yin 

“Mr. Koon writes with perceptiveness 

and candour as well as with the voice 

of experience – qualities that are often 

missing in the writings of many political 

analysts that are provided with space in 

the mainstream media. This process of 

empowerment and simultaneous rejection 

of leaders who regard power and authority 

not as positions of trust and responsibility 

but to serve personal interest or as an 

opportunity for personal enrichment will be necessary if 

Malaysia is to prosper and move ahead to join the modern 

and progressive nations of the world.” - Tan Sri Tengku 

Razaleigh Hamzah, Member of Parliament and former 

Minister of Finance 

“Mr Koon has chosen to galvanise his years of 

experience in business and to reduce them into well written 

and well researched articles that will benefit all Malaysians. 

The articles are forthright and brutally honest in many 

instances and speak to the problems Malaysia faces and 

Malaysians must face up to.” - Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan, 

Former President of the Malaysian Bar Council and 

Chairperson of Bersih 2.0 & Bersih 3.0

An Uncommon Hero 

M.K. Rajakumar in Politics and Medicine 

Tan Pek Leng 

Many witness momentous events in their 

lives, but few participate, much less leave 

their mark. Dr M.K. Rajakumar, on the 

contrary, left an indelible mark at every 

phase of his eventful life. 

For championing his beliefs, Rajakumar 

was incarcerated without trial under the 

Internal Security Act (ISA) like so many of 

his compatriots before and after him. 

Through historical investigations, personal recollections 

and tributes from colleagues, friends and family – including 

Tan Kai Hee, Syed Husin Ali, Poh Soo Kai, Said Zahari, Lim 

Hock Siew, Jomo K.S., Wang Gungwu, Ronald McCoy, 

Jeyakumar Devaraj, Lee Ban Chen, Abu Bakar Suleiman, 

Zuraina Majid, Sunita Rajakumar, Sukumari Sekhar, Ong Kik 

Hong and Shantha Nayar – this book constructs the portrait 

of a remarkable man who inspired many by the power of his 

intellect and the force of his conviction.

Wacana Baru Politik Malaysia 

Perspektif Ruang Awam, Budaya dan 

Institusi 

Disunting oleh Haris Zuan dan Rizal Hamdan 

Sungguh menarik sekali! Koleksi 

ini meninjau dan mengulas dinamik 

serta perubahan struktur dan 

budaya politik semasa di Malaysia. 

Gabungan mantap antara ahli 

akademik berpengalaman dan 

sarjana muda yang kelihatannya 

amat akrab mencermati pergolakan 

terkini politik Malaysia merupakan 

keistimewaan buku ini. 

Dalam tinjauan terhadap topic 

tersebut, para penulis member 

perhatian pada kedua-dua factor 

– struktur dan juga agensi. Melalui agensi, beberapa aspek 

politik lama telah ditinggalkan. Kini sesudah beberapa 

dekad penstrukturan semula ekonomi dan masyarakat, 

diikuti Reformasi dan Tsunami 2008, politik Malaysia todak 

hanya berbaur perkauman, dan penglibatan politik tidak 

hanya terperangkap dalam kerangka pilihan raya atau parti 

politik semata-mata, sebagaimana dulu. Perubahan telah 

berlaku! - Dr. Francis Loh, Professor Bahagian Politik,

Islamization and Activism in 

Malaysia 

Julian C.H. Lee 

Islamization and Activism in Malaysia 

examines aspects of the increasing political 

and social profile of Islam in Malaysia and 

describes how different kinds of activists in 

Malaysia have sought to protect fundamental 

liberties and to improve the state of 

democracy in Malaysia. In particular, focus is 

paid to activists who engage with electoral 

process, the law and the public sphere, and 

in particular, to movements that cut across or combine 

these realms of action. Spanning the period of the Prime 

Ministership of Abdullah Badawi, Julian C.H. Lee’s grounded 

analysis examines the most important issues of that period 

including the freedom of religion case of Lina Joy, the Islamic 

state debate, and events surrounding the 8 March 2008 

general elections.

From Unity to Multiplicity 

Social Movement Transformation and 

Democratization in Asia 

Edited by Hee-Yeon Cho, Andrew Aeria and Song-Woo Hur 

Social movements have played a very 

important role in driving and enabling 

societal transition from dictatorship 

to democracy, a process oft-known as 

democratization. Without bottomup 

pressure and effective people 

mobilization by social movements in 

opposing authoritarian polities and 

dictatorships, democratization would 

not have been possible. Yet, even as 

society and political systems have 

changed as a consequence 

of social movement actions and pressure, so too 

social movements have also experienced change after 

democratization. 

Drawing from varied cases from Korea, China, Hong 

Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Nepal, Malaysia, Philippines and 

India, this book contributes to the growing debate on 

the dynamic relationship between social movements and 

democratization in Asia.

Policing Sexuality 

Sex, Society and the State 

Julian C.H. Lee 

Policing Sexuality explores the regulation 

of sexual behaviour and identity, asking 

how and why nation-states have sought 

to influence and control the sexuality of 

their citizens. Julian C.H. Lee presents 

both theoretical and ethnographic 

literature, distilling common themes 

and causes, such as the influence of 

colonialism, class, religion, and national 

identity. Featuring crucial case studies 

from India, the US, Malaysia, Turkey, and 

Britain, this engaging comparative account examines the 

coercive control state authority exerts over sexuality.

Fringe Benefits 

Essays and Reflections on Malaysian Arts 

and Cinema 

Benjamin McKay 

Benjamin McKay’s love letter to 

Yasmin Ahmad: “In a country that 

often finds it hard to weep for itself, 

you cathartically spun magic. In a land 

of many races where mistrust and 

stereotype have become ingrained as 

false truths, you made your audiences 

weep and laugh and miraculously 

empathise with ‘their other’, the ‘other’ 

who dwells within.” 

For the past decade, a number of pioneering independent 

and mainstream films have put Malaysian cinema and arts 

onto the global stage. They have also spurred Malaysians 

themselves into re-looking at well-trodden paths in creative 

ways. This collection of essays and articles provides scholarly 

and accessible insights into some of these artistic works 

through the discerning eye and perspicacious writing of an 

Australian film scholar who had been resident in Malaysia 

for several years. The late Benjamin McKay was Lecturer in 

Film and Television Studies at the School of Arts and Social 

Sciences, Monash University from 2006-2010. He also 

contributed regular film and art reviews for Kakiseni and Off 

the Edge.

Equality under Construction 

Malaysian Women’s Human Rights Report 

2010/11 

The authors examine Malaysia’s 

progress to date in meeting its 

obligations as a signatory to the 

Convention on the Elimination of 

All Forms of Discrimination against 

Women (CEDAW). The essays take 

the reader on a journey through 

the policy process, beginning 

with ratifying the United Nations 

convention. The essays demonstrate 

what a remarkable document 

CEDAW is. It has motivated policies 

to end gender discrimination, facilitated discussions about 

the relationship between discrimination and equality, and 

provided a context for addressing newly-emerging issues, 

such as gender identity and women refugees. The essays on 

employment, family law, and transgender address each policy 

within its own context. The writers capture the uniqueness of 

each issue and its target populations, providing readers with 

new insights and a deeper appreciation of the policy-making 

process. – Elizabethann “Liz” O’Sullivan, North Carolina

A first in Malaysia, this book 

investigates interculturalism from the 

point of view of a dance practitioneracademician 

whose interest in 

pursuing multicultural expressions 

in a multiracial country stems from 

the experience of living in a society

prescribed national cultural policy 

versus real artistic practices.

Asal Usul Sosial Golongan Kiri 

Melayu 

Satu Analisis Berkenaan Kesatuan Melayu 

Muda 

Rustam A. Sani 

Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM) 

merupakan parti politik Melayu 

pertama, ditubuhkan pada tahun 1938 

dan dipimpin oleh Ibrahim Yaacob. 

KMM sering dianggap sebagai 

pelopor jalur politik moden Melayu 

yang dirujuk sebagai 'Golongan 

Kiri Melayu'. Secara umumnya, ahli 

sejarawan bersetuju bahawa politik 

moden Melayu terbahagi kepada dua 

jalur yang ketara - kiri dan kanan 

- sejak 1930-an. Dua jalur ini dibezakan oleh penolakan 

dan juga kedekatan mereka dengan kecenderungan dan 

ideologi kiri; latar belakang pendidikan pimpinan mereka dan 

keluasan pengaruh Indonesia. Kajian ini meletakkan konteks 

asal usul Golongan Kiri Melayu dalam kerangka struktur 

sosial yang berubah semasa persekitaran kolonial pada 

dekad 1930-an, khususnya kemunculan elit baru yang secara 

sosialnya berbeza daripada aristokrat tradisional. Dihujahkan 

bagaimana elit baru ini semakin tidak berpuas hati dan 

hilang sabar terhadap kepimpinan tradisi dalam perjuangan 

menentang pentadbiran kolonial dan mengusahakan 

pembentukan masyarakat majmuk.

Indian Transmigrants 

Malaysian and Comparative Essays 

Ravindra K. Jain 

Given the range, intensity and 

magnitude of contemporary 

transnational migrations, it seems 

entirely appropriate to designate this 

“world on the move” as comprising, 

from our point of view, of Indian 

transmigrants. The movement and 

global adaptations of this population 

are spread beyond single home and 

host societies to multiple locales both 

vertically and horizontally. Ravindra 

Jain’s empirical studies in this book 

radiate from the vicissitudes of migrants from India to 

Malaysia on to those in the Caribbean and further on 

to Australia. The spectrum of globalization in our times 

necessitates comparisons over still larger territories; 

therefore, while focusing on particular Indian transmigrants, 

East and West, Jain’s perspectival vision encompasses the 

entire field of modern Indian diaspora.

Once a Jolly Hangman 

Singapore Justice in the Dock (2nd Edition) 

Alan Shadrake 

Over the past few decades, 

investigative journalism has come to 

mean the kind of brave reporting that 

exposes injustice, wrongdoing and, 

above all, the abuse of power. Alan 

Shadrake’s hard-hitting book cuts 

through the official silence to reveal 

disturbing truths about Singapore’s 

use of the death penalty. From in-depth 

interviews with Darshan Singh, 

Singapore’s chief executioner for nearly 

fifty years, to meticulously researched accounts of numerous 

high profile cases, Once a Jolly Hangman is an exposé of 

gross abuses of fundamental human rights. This completely 

revised and updated edition also offers a compelling 

account of the author’s arrest and trial for contempt of 

court for daring to put the Singapore justice system in 

the dock.

The Mighty Wave 

He Jin 

A major novel about the anti-colonial 

mass movement in Singapore in the 

1950s which started with the Chinese 

middle school students assembling on 13 

May 1954 at the pavements of Penang 

Road to petition the Governor for their 

exemption from national service. This 

mass gathering was forcibly broken up by 

the riot police. It ends with the 1959 

general election, in which the political 

party they supported triumphed. The protagonists of the 

novel look forward to contributing to the new phase in 

Singapore’s political development. That was not to be. 

Set in the more rustic Singapore in the 1950s some of the 

scenes depicted are recognizable by the older generation, 

but have disappeared from the modern landscape. They 

cover locations like Tiong Bahru, Pasir Panjang, Siglap, and 

the Beach Road vicinity. The Mighty Wave is a Singaporean 

novel which deserves a place in the country's literary 

history.

Singapore Sucks! 

Singa Crew 




If there ever is a book that the Singapore 

Tourism Board does not want published, 

Singapore Sucks! is it. Tourists looking 

for the same old tired propaganda about a 

sterilised shopping paradise should go waste 

their money on government-owned dailies. 

Singapore Sucks! Is a bouquet of sarcasm, is 

humour, insolent honesty and the discerning 

reader may even recognise a hint of patriotic 

fervour. Through an eclectic collection of short stories, 

essays and poems, our panel of largely Singaporean writers 

have captured and managed to convey the peculiar brand of 

insanity that can only be described as Uniquely Singapore. 

If you have ever wondered about Singaporeans' fascination 

with white culture, the Singlish vs. English divide or those 

elusive "Asian values" our politicians keep trying to shove 

down our docile minds, then this book is a must-read for you.

The May 13 Generation 

The Chinese Middle Schools Student 

Movement and Singapore Politics in the 

1950s 

Edited by Tan Jing Quee, Tan Kok Chiang and Hong Lysa 

The May 13 Generation was the first 

belonging to the immigrant communities from 

China to grapple with the issues of being 

Malayan/Singaporean, breaking irrevocably 

with the received wisdoms of their elders, and 

in a political climate where their explorations 

were deemed to be subversive. 

This book comprises the recollections penned by the 

participants of the era of the 1950s, where their generation 

was in the forefront of the anti-colonial movement, and 

the work of academic researchers who have examined the 

historical framework and context of the period, as well as 

how it has been made to fit into the country’s mainstream 

history. The researchers have also examined the students’ 

cultural expressions, whether it is in art, drama, dance 

or literature and found them to be socially engaged, and 

grappling with the question of who they were as a people. 

The cultural explorations of that period have been forgotten 

or repudiated. It is revealing just how this amnesia and 

silence has become so set.

Our Stories 

Migration and Labour in Taiwan 

Ku Yu-ling 

Our Stories is not only about 

the lives of individuals; it is also 

a collective and social history of 

Taiwan. This is the contribution of 

Yu-ling and the activists in solidarity 

with the marginalized and the 

grassroots for the past two decades. 

- Jeng Tsuen-Chyi, Founder of 

Raging Citizens Act Now (RCAN) 

This is a highly literary book; the 

author has successfully fused 

literature and reportage together. 

Yu-ling has given us a unique 

perspective about the new migrants in our society, and 

described each and every one of them in a sensitive and 

sophisticated way with ease. It is a book difficult to put

The Fajar Generation 

The University Socialist Club and the Politics 

of Postwar Malaya and Singapore 

Edited by Poh Soo Kai, Tan Jing Quee and Koh Kay Yew 

The Fajar Generation tells the 

hitherto neglected story of a 

remarkable group of men and 

women who advanced a radical 

agenda of anti-colonialism, 

democracy, multiculturalism and 

social justice through the agency 

of the University of Malaya 

Socialist Club. Through personal 

memoirs and analytical essays 

the contributors to this collection 

illuminate their own roles in 

that struggle – the hopes and 

despairs, the triumphs and 

defeats. At the same time they remind us of just how much 

of that progressive political agenda is still to be won in 

contemporary Malaysia and Singapore.

Malaysia’s Foreign Policy, The First 

Fifty Years 

Alignment, Neutralism, Islamism 

Johan Saravanamuttu 

This book captures Malaysia’s foreign 

policy over the first fifty years and 

beyond since the date of the country’s 

formal independence in 1957. The author 

provides “macro-historical” narratives of 

foreign policy practices and outcomes 

over distinct time periods under the 

tenures of the five prime ministers. 

One chapter delves into relations with 

immediate neighbouring states and 

another chapter analyses the political economy of foreign 

policy. A postscript deals with the transition of foreign 

policy beyond the fifth decade. The concluding chapter 

suggests that Malaysian middlepowermanship has been 

in the making in foreign policy practice being particularly 

evident since the Mahathir years. Employing a criticalconstructivist 

approach throughout the study, the author 

posits that foreign policy should be appreciated as 

outcomes of socio-political-economic processes embedded 

within a Malaysian political culture.

Betwixt & Between 

Woo Kam Chau 

This is British Malaya in the mid-1950s, 

where the British administration is 

preparing to hand power over to the local 

Malays, whilst guarding against communist 

terrorists, hatred and racial violence that 

threatened independence (Merdeka) and 

democracy for the colony. The Chinese 

and Indian immigrants, who live and work 

‘betwixt and between’ the indigenous 

Malays, feel ‘betrayed’ because, after 

Merdeka, they will virtually become second class citizans. 

Many have died fighting the Japanese during the war and 

the legacy continues to haunt them. Qin, son of a Chinese 

immigrant villager, and his friends, encounter many social 

conditions and glimpse personal histories of a range of 

characters in the village and the city of Kuala Lumpur 

where they study. Qin gets involved in their problems and is 

seduced by the wife of Supervisor Tan. The pregnancy that 

follows causes Qin to question the wife, Qui Ling, about the 

paternity of the child, with disastrous consequences…

The Arab Revolt and The Imperialist 

Counterattack 

James Petras 

The popular uprisings in Egypt 

and Tunisia have overthrown the 

public face of the imperial-backed 

dictatorships in the region, and 

inspired supporters of popular 

democracy worldwide. As the Arab 

revolt spreads from North Africa to 

the Gulf and deepens its demands 

to include socio-economic as well 

as political demands, the Empire is 

striking back. These essays 

chronicle the growing militarization 

of US policy in North Africa and the 

Gulf and the historic confrontation between the Arab 

democratic revolution and the imperial backed satraps; 

between Libyans fighting for their independence and the 

Euro-American naval and air forces ravaging the country on 

behalf of their inept local clients.

“ASEAN-U.S. Relations: What Are the

The workshop was timely then, as the two

renewed engagement. The United States is 

very important for ASEAN, as a guarantor of regional

time, ASEAN has gained more public attention from the 

United States, particularly since the advent of the Obama

Celebrating Europe 

An Asian Journey 

Asad-Ul Iqbal Latif 

Europe’s mythical origins lie in Zeus’ 

abduction of the Asian princess Europa. 

Down the real centuries, Asia has played 

a crucial role in the making of Europe – 

as an object of Orientalist fantasy and 

colonial desire, but also of the spread of 

the liberating values and humane letters 

associated with the continent. In this book, 

a lifelong admirer of Europe casts a critical 

yet loving eye on the continent to ask what it means to him. 

The book revolves around a series of personal encounters. 

These range from following his father to Cambridge and 

meeting two Bengali lovers in Calcutta who cherish Eros 

with classical Greek purity, to watching his wife recover in 

a Polish hospital that lavishes care on her almost for free. 

These encounters are intertwined with passionately-argued 

essays on the Holocaust, the Soviet ideal and the Berlin 

Wall as keenly-contested sites of the European imagination.

Who’s Afraid of China? 

The Challenge of Chinese Soft Power 

Michael Barr 

If China suddenly democratized, would 

it cease being labeled as a threat? This 

provocative book argues that fears of China 

often say as much about those who hold 

them as they do about the rising power 

itself. It focuses not on the usual trope of 

economic and military might, but on China’s 

growing cultural influence and the 

connections between China’s domestic politics and its 

attempts to brand itself internationally. Using examples 

from film, education, media, politics and art, Who’s Afraid of 

China? is both an introduction to Chinese soft power and a 

critical analysis of international reaction to it. It examines how 

the West’s own past, hopes and fears shape the way it thinks 

about and engages with China and argues that the rising 

power touches a nerve in the Western psyche, presenting a 

fundamental challenge to ideas about modernity, history and 

international relations.

Militias and the Challenges of Post- 

Conflict Peace 

Silencing the Guns 

Chris Alden, Monika Thakur and Matthew Arnold 

Militias have proven to be an enduring 

obstacle to peace in war zones around 

the world. Linked variously to atrocities 

against civilians or international criminal 

elements, these groups occupy an 

uncertain and deeply controversial position 

in the changing landscape of conflict. Their 

diversity of form, unorthodox nature and 

sheer numbers make achieving short-term stability and an 

enduring peace consistently difficult. 

Bringing together four intensively researched case 

studies – the Democratic Republic of Congo, Timor-Leste, 

Afghanistan and Sudan – Militias and the Challenges 

of Post-conflict Peace argues that the international 

community’s ‘cookie-cutter’ approach to demilitarization 

is ineffective at meeting the myriad of challenges involving 

militias. In doing so, the authors propose a radical new 

framework for demilitarization that questions conventional 

models and takes into account the reality on the ground.

well as with each other, to discuss the

Postmodern Imperialism 

Geopolitics and The Great Games 

Eric Walberg 

“Those who think that the ‘Great Game’ 

played for control of Central Asia is a 

superannuated relic of Europe’s imperial 

past must read Walberg’s epic corrective 

to their egregious error. In extensive, 

richly textured and carefully documented 

detail he reveals the evolution of this 

competition into the planetary quest for 

dominance it has become, as well 

as the imperatives animating its new ‘players’, among 

whom many will find, to their surprise or consternation. 

Tiny Israel and its symbiotic liaison with America Inc. Prime 

imperial architect Zbigniew Brzezinski actually called the 

blood-soaked playing field The Grand Chessboard, but 

like all his rapacious forebears omitted to mention the 

pawns. Walberg places them at the heart of this much 

needed remediation of the sinister falsehoods propagated 

in a political culture manufactured from above and 

offers hope that this anti-human playboard may yet be 

overturned. – Paul Atwood, American Studies, University

Posthuman International Relations 

Complexity, Ecologism and Global Politics 

Erika Cudworth and Stephen Hobden 

In this bold intervention, Cudworth 

and Hobden draw on recent advances 

in complexity theory to call for a 

profound re-envisioning of the study of 

international relations. As a discipline, IR 

is wedded to the Enlightenment project 

of overcoming the hazards of nature, and 

thus remains constrained by a blinkered, 

human-centred approach. As a means of 

predicting global political events and 

trends, it has failed consistently. It is therefore essential, 

the authors argue, that we develop a more sophisticated 

analysis of global politics, taking into account the broader 

environment, social relations, economic practices and 

formations of power. The book reveals how the study of 

international politics is transformed by the understanding 

that we have never been exclusively human. An original work 

that is sure to provoke heated debate within the discipline, 

Posthuman International Relations provides a radical new 

agenda for a progressive, twenty-first century international 

relations.

From Global Network to Local Franchise 

Christina Hellmich 

Since 9/11, al-Qaeda has dominated 

discussions of national and 

international security. Yet conflicting 

assumptions about the nature of the 

group and the implications of bin 

Ladin’s death abound. Rather than 

just providing yet another biography 

of al-Qaeda, Christina Hellmich 

forensically examines the most 

authoritative sources on which the 

present understanding of al-Qaeda 

relies, examining the discrepancies between what is 

reported and what can realistically be known. The result 

is a penetrating insight into an organization that for all its 

notoriety is one of the least understood of our time.

Established in 1971 by Singapore, 

Malaysia, Britain, Australia and New

Arrangements (FPDA) has proved to 

be one of Asia’s most enduring military 

pacts. Since its foundation, the FPDA has

building measure between its two 

Southeast Asian members, and has 

facilitated interoperability, 

professionalization and cooperation among the armed forced 

of the five countries. Crucially, its inherent flexibility and 

adaptability has enabled it to respond effectively to changes 

in the geopolitical environment as well as the emergence 

of new security threats. Now in its fortieth year, the FPDA 

remains a valuable component of Asia’s security architecture 

in a time of change and uncertainty. This volume marks the 

fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the FPDA.

Jewish Identity & Palestinian Rights 

Diaspora Jewish Opposition to Israel 

David Landy 

Diaspora Jews are increasingly likely to 

criticise Israel and support Palestinian 

rights. In the USA, Europe and elsewhere, 

Jewish organisations have sprung up to 

oppose Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, 

facing harsh criticism from fellow Jews 

for their actions. Why and how has this 

movement come about? What does it 

mean for Palestinians and for diaspora 

Jews? Jewish Identity and Palestinian 

Rights is a groundbreaking study of this vital and growing 

worldwide social movement, examining in depth how it 

challenges traditional diasporic Jewish representations 

of itself. It looks at why people join this movement and 

how they relate to the Palestinians and their struggle, 

asking searching questions about transnational solidarity 

movements. This book makes an important contribution to 

Israel/Palestine and Jewish studies and responds to urgent 

questions in social movement theory.

The Palestinian Right of Return 

under International Law 

Francis A. Boyle 

The just resolution of the Palestinian right 

of return is at the very heart of the Middle 

East peace process. Nonetheless, the 

Obama administration intends to impose 

a comprehensive peace settlement upon 

the Palestinians that will force them to 

give up their well-recognized right of return 

under United Nations General Assembly 

Resolution 194 (III) of 1948; accept a 

Bantustan of disjointed and surrounded chunks of territory 

on the West Bank in Gaza; and even expressly recognize 

Israel as “the Jewish State”, as newly demanded by 

Benjamin Netanyahu. All this will fail for the reasons so 

powerfully and eloquently stated in this book. For the 

past three decades, Francis A. Boyle has provided the 

leadership of the Palestinian people with advice, counsel, 

and representation at all stages of the Middle East Peace 

Process. Here, he elaborates what the Palestinians must 

now do to realize their international legal right of return, in 

keeping with his startling perception of Israel as itself nothing 

more than a US-dependent Jewish Bantustan bound for 

failure. While an enormous amount of scholarly literature has 

been generated affirming the Palestinian right of return under 

international law, none is as authentic, powerful, personal, or 

convincing. Boyle has gone to the heart of the solution.

Confronting Global Neoliberalism 

Third World Resistance and Development 

Strategies 

Edited by Richard Westra 



13 

This collection is a tour de force, an 

effective counter to the neoliberal 

ideology of development. It addresses 

both the monstrous misallocation of 

global resources wrought by the so-called 

"Washington Consensus" and the suffering 

and destruction this has wreaked on third 

world peoples and economies. Questioning 

potential pitfalls in the neoliberal policy 

package - which the third world (unlike 

Western Europe and Japan) was largely forced to adopt 

- has never been countenanced, whether by international 

institutions or by mainstream crisis discourse. These specially 

commissioned and peer reviewed chapters on key states 

such as Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Mexico, Southeast 

Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam), South Africa, South 

Korea, Syria, Thailand and Venezuela shed light on both the 

failures of global neoliberalism and on the strategies some 

third world countries have developed to manage or resist it.

Politicized Society 

The Long Shadow of Taiwan’s One-Party 

Legacy 

Mikael Mattlin 

This book explores a relatively uncharted 

area of democratic transitions: the 

empirical study of intensely politicized 

transitional societies. In particular, it 

addresses the problems of prolonged 

democratic transitions that occur when 

a one-party state has been incompletely 

dismantled. Taiwan’s gradual process of 

democratization has been celebrated 

as one of the most successful cases of political 

transformation. However, the process was not completed 

after political liberalization, the advent of multi-party politics 

and peaceful handover of power. Since 2000, when the first 

non-Kuomintang president was elected, Taiwan has been 

marked by protracted political struggles together with an 

intense politicization of society.

The Delusions of Economics 

The Misguided Certainties of a Hazardous 

Science 

Gilbert Rist 

The Delusions of Economics 

presents a radical critique of 

neoclassical economics. Rather 

than entering into existing debates 

between different orthodoxies, 

Gilbert Rist explores the 

circumstances that prevailed when 

economics was ‘invented’ and that 

helped to construct it as a science. 

Rist demonstrates how these 

presuppositions are either obsolete 

or just plain wrong, and that traditional economics is 

largely based on irrational convictions. Provocative and 

original, this essential book provides incontrovertible 

proof that the construction of a new economic paradigm – 

pluralistic, ecologically compatible, and grounded in reality 

– is now a necessity.

Debunking Economics 

The Naked Emperor Dethroned? 

Steve Keen 




Debunking Economics exposes what a 

minority of economist have long known 

and many of the rest of us have long 

suspected: that economic theory is not 

only unpalatable, but also plain wrong. 

When the first edition was published in 

2001, economists basked in the limelight 

of a seemingly invincible market economy. 

But the economy’s performance, as Steve Keen argued, 

had nothing to do with neoclassical economic theory 

and gave policy-makers the false confidence to begin to 

dismantle the very institutions designed to limit market 

instability. That instability exploded with the devastating 

financial crisis of 2007, and now haunts the global economy 

with the prospect of another Depression. In this updated 

and expanded edition, Keen builds on his scathing critique 

of conventional economic theory whilst explaining what 

mainstream economists cannot: why the crisis occurred, why 

it is proving to be done to end it. Essential for anyone who 

has ever doubted the advice or reasoning of economists, 

Debunking Economics is a signpost to a better future.

Confronting Managerialism

Robert R. Locke & J.-C. Spender 

Confronting Managerialism offers 

a scathing critique of the crippling

shows how business managers, once 

well regarded as custodians of the 

economic engine driving growth and 

social progress, now seem more like the 

rapacious “robber barons” of the 1880s. In effect, 

responsible management has given way to managerialism, 

whereby an elite caste of businessmen disconnected from 

any ethical considerations now call the shots, throwing 

the lives of the rest of us out of balance. Confronting 

Managerialism is a unique, topical, and controversial look 

at a subject that impacts us all.

Poverty and Global Recession in 

Southeast Asia 

Edited by Aris Ananta and Richard Barichello 

Financial crises after financial crises 

have occurred, with widening impact and 

deepening severity. This book started 

with an objective to understand the 

impact of high inflation on poverty in 

Southeast Asia. However, global inflation 

moved quickly into recession in 2008. 

Southeast was not an exception. The 

book then refocused the title to Poverty 

and Global Recession in Southeast Asia. It is a modest 

attempt to contribute a better understanding of poverty and 

food security in Southeast Asia during the 2008-09 global 

recessions, considering both recent developments and the 

previous major crisis of 1997-98. The book may also help to 

anticipate some possible impacts of future global recession 

on food and poverty, not only in Southeast Asia, but also in 

many other countries in the world.

Economic Policy and Human Rights 

Holding Governments to Account 

Edited by Radhika Balakrishnan and Diane Elson 

Economic Policy and Human Rights 

present a powerful critique of 

neoliberal economic policies, assessed 

from the perspective of human rights 

norms. In doing so, it brings together 

two areas of thought and action 

that have hitherto been separate: 

progressive economics and human 

rights advocacy. Focusing on 

in-depth comparative case studies 

of the United States and Mexico and looking at issues 

such as public expenditure, taxation and international 

trade, the book shows that heterodox economic analysis 

benefits greatly from a deeper understanding of a human 

rights framework, challenging a narrow focus on efficiency 

and growth. Economic Policy and Human Rights is a 

vital book for anyone interested in human rights and in 

harnessing economics to create a better world.

Ippei Yamazawa is one of the 

fathers to the study of Asia-Pacific 

regional cooperation in Japan 

and has contributed hugely to the 

development and work of APEC 

over many years. APEC is a crucial 

trans-regional arrangement that 

draws the United States into 

constructive economic engagement 

with East Asia. This book makes 

it clear why APEC remains such a 

crucial element of regional 

economic architecture and defines an agenda going 

forward to which regional leaders should aspire. Here 

is a first rate exposition of the priorities for regional 

cooperation in Asia and the Pacific. – Peter Drysdale,

Economics 

New New 

Postcolonial Economies 

Edited by Jane Pollard, Cherly McEwan & Alex Hughes 

Postcolonial approaches to understanding 

economies are of increasing significance 

as questions about the nature of 

globalisation, transnational flows of capital 

and workers, and the making and remaking 

of territorial borders assume centre stage 

in debates about contemporary economics. 

Yet, despite the growing academic and 

political urgency in understanding how ‘other’ cultures 

encounter ‘the West’, economics has been slow to engage 

with the ideas and challenges posed by postcolonial 

critiques. In turn, postcolonial approaches have been 

criticised for their simplistic treatment of the economic 

and for not engaging with existing economic analyses 

of poverty and wealth creation. Utilising examples 

drawn from India to Latin America, and bringing 

together scholars from a range of disciplines, including 

Geography, Economics, Development Studies, History and 

Women’s Studies, Postcolonial Economies breaks new 

ground in providing a space for nascent debates about 

postcolonialism and its treatment of the economic.

The Financial Crisis and Asian 

Developing Countries 

Edited by Yilmaz Akyuz 

The world was plunged into the most 

severe economic and financial crisis of 

post-war times in 2008-09, and even the 

most dynamic growth region, Asia, was 

not spared from its effects. This book 

examines how the developing economies 

of Asia were hit by the turmoil, the 

measures they look in response and the 

policy lessons to be drawn from this experience. From 

its epicentre in the major advanced economies, the 

shockwaves of the crisis were transmitted to Asia via trade 

and finance. To deal with these damaging effects, most of 

the regional economies adopted expansionary fiscal and 

monetary policies, which have largely proved effective in 

stabilizing conditions and promoting recovery. Whether 

this recovery will be sustainable, however, will depend on 

how the developing countries of Asia address the structural 

fragilities the crisis has exposed in their economies.

The U.S.–Singapore Free Trade 

Agreement 

An American Perspective on Power, Trade, 

and Security in the Asia Pacific 

Eul-Soo Pang 

Free trade has become the mantra of 

development strategy for many countries 

in the world, especially those in the Asia 

Pacific. This book delves into the American 

side of the story. It is about how Singapore 

and the United States came to sign the 

agreement in 2003 (taking effect from 

1 January 2004). The United States – 

Singapore Free Trade Agreement 

(USSFTA) is the first FTA that America signed with an 

Asian country and the second such agreement with a fully 

developed country, after Canada. The city-state has used 

a free trade agreement as a national survival and growth 

strategy, first forging such FTA ties with its major trading 

partners and then expanding its strategic link to such 

extra-regional great powers as the United States, Japan, 

Australia, China, India, and the European Union. Both 

Singapore and the United States saw in FTAs something 

more than just merchandise trade.

Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank 

Sixty Questions, Sixty Answers 

Eric Toussaint and Damien Millet 

Many countries in the South possess vast 

natural and human resources, yet since 

the debt crisis in 1982 they have been 

bled dry. Repaying an ever-increasing 

debt makes it impossible to meet even 

the most basic human needs. The debt 

has become a subtle instrument of 

domination, casting the net of a new form 

of colonization. The latest initiative, 

announced with much fanfare at the Gleneagles G8 

meeting in 2005, does not alter the situation. A radically 

different approach must be considered: the cancellation - no 

more and no less - of an immoral and often odious debt. 

The present book shows that cancellation of the debt is a necessary 

but not a sufficient condition, that it must go hand-in-hand with other 

measures such as the recovery of ill-acquired goods, fair distribution of 

wealth on a global level, and alternative financing approaches.

Portuguese and Luso-Asian Legacies 

in Southeast Asia, 1511-2011, Vol. 1 

The Making of the Luso-Asian World 

Intricacies of Engagement 

Edited by Laura Jarnagin 

In 1511, a Portuguese expedition 

under the command of Alfonso de 

Albuquerque arrived on the shores of 

Malacca, taking control of the prosperous 

Malayan port-city after a swift military 

campaign. Portugal, a peripheral but 

then technologically advanced country in 

southwestern Europe since the latter 

fifteenth century, had been in the process of establishing 

solid outposts all along Asia’s littoral in order to 

participate in the most active and profitable maritime 

trading routes of the day. As it turned out, the Portuguese 

presence and influence in the Malayan Peninsula and 

elsewhere in continental and insular Asia expanded far 

beyond the sphere of commerce and extended over time 

well into the twenty-first century. – Rui M. Loureiro,

Early Interactions between South 

and Southeast Asia 

Reflections on Cross-Cultural Exchange 

Edited by Pierre-Yves Manguin, A.Mani and Geoff Wade 

The unilateral concept of “Indianisation 

of Southeast Asia” advocated by the 

earlier scholars since the 1930s has 

been challenged in various ways over the 

last forty years. Recent archaeological 

discoveries in Southeast Asia and South 

Asia have revealed the interactions 

between these two regions extending to 

even before the so-called Indianisation of Southeast 

Asia began. This volume, aproduct of an international 

conference on the interactions of these teo regions, 

provides us with a good picture of the present state 

of studies through an elaborate Introduction which 

assesses the past and present research and twenty-three 

specialized papers divided into two broad sections – the 

archaeological evidence for interactions and localization 

in Southeast Asia. This book is a great contribution not 

only to the study of early Southeast Asian history, but 

also to the history of Asia and the world in general by 

reappraising the concept of “Indianisation”. – Noboru

Labour in Vietnam 

Edited by Anita Chan 

Two decades after Vietnam introduced 

a programme of economic renovation 

commonly known as Doi Moi, the 

country today allows market competition 

in industry, and a new working class 

has been created. This is the first book 

to focus on the role and conditions of 

workers in the new economic regime. Ten 

of the world’s leading scholars on 

Vietnamese industrial relations trace Vietnam’s labour 

history and the circumstances today of state-sector 

workers and of migrant workers in both the cities and rural 

industries. While some authors explore the impact of the 

socialist legacy, others examine the reasons for the large 

number of recent strikes. The book provides insights into 

the workforce of one of Asia’s most rapidly developing 

industrial economies.

Minorities at Large 

New Approaches to Minority Ethnicity in 

Vietnam 

Edited by Philip Taylor 

This collection represents a new approach 

to minority ethnicity in Vietnam. Drawing 

on ethnographic and historical research in 

the highlands and lowlands, eight essays 

provide rich descriptions of a wide variety 

of ethnic minority experiences. They 

offer provocative analyses that challenge 

stereotypes about minority groups in 

scholarship and official development 

policy. While powerful forces such as warring armies, the 

socialist state, or the market economy often are said to 

have undermined the livelihoods and identities of onceautonomous 

peoples, these studies reveal how people 

at the periphery of the modern nation-state nonetheless 

have been active in the transformation and redefinition of 

their worlds. The chapters situate contemporary minority 

transnational networks in the context of older translocal 

affiliations, identities, and livelihood strategies. In contrast 

with the attention devoted in previous studies to the state 

ethnic classification project, the studies shed light on 

popular identifications in circulation, and transition, among 

ethnic minorities themselves.

Domestic Tourism in Asia 

Diversity and Divergence 

Edited by Shalini Singh 

Many countries have a rich tradition 

of domestic travel and holidaying that 

not only pre-dates but exceeds mass 

international travel. This is particularly 

the case in Asia, where recent economic 

prosperity and trends in globalization 

have continued to shape traditions in 

domestic tourism. This book is the first 

to address specifically the continuities 

and changes in domestic tourism in Asia. It explores the 

ethos of domestic travel and holiday-making in order to 

understand the distinctive common strands that underlie 

conventional and contemporary tourism practices, against 

the local and global backdrop. A considerable range of 

countries is covered in the case studies, including those 

with patrimonial histories (namely China and India), 

the economically developed nation-state of Japan, the 

microstates of Taiwan, Singapore, Macao and Hong Kong, 

the coastal countries of Malaysia, Philippines, Laos and 

Vietnam, and the land-locked countries of Kyrgyzstan and 

Mongolia.

Sikhs in Southeast Asia 

Negotiating an Identity 

Edited by Shamsul AB & Arunajeet Kaur 



19 

Sikhs arrived and settled in 

Southeast Asia during the arrival 

of Western colonial powers in the 

region. They came primarily as 

auxiliaries of the British and many 

took the opportunity to travel into 

and explore the region. As prospects 

for prosperity became clear to the 

early Sikh migrants they brought 

their families and encouraged 

relatives and friends to migrate to 

Southeast Asia. Sikhs in Southeast Asia are currently 

into their fifth generation; they settled into Southeast 

Asia much earlier than the Sikhs settled in Britain, 

Europe, or America, yet very little remains researched 

or written about them. This volume attempts to fill the 

niche and hopefully entice researchers to further explore 

possibilities of taking up research in the area of Sikh 

Studies in Southeast Asia. Historians, sociologists, 

anthropologists as well as economists have contributed to 

this volume, each attempting to highlight their fragment 

of understanding of Sikh communities in Southeast Asia 

spanning from the colonial to the contemporary era.

The End of Barisan Nasional? 

Malaysian Political Issues 

Kua Kia Soong 

These recent writings by Dr Kua Kia 

Soong reveal one stark reality, namely 

that the Barisan National coalition that 

has ruled Malaysia since Independence 

in 1957 seems incapable of reform. In 

its 54 year rule, it has destroyed many 

of the democratic institutions that 

existed at Independence in 1957. Other 

institutions such as Royal Commissions 

of Inquiry have been systematically debased. Malaysia 

was in fact freer at independence than it is today. In 

his unique polemical style, Kua applies his knowledge, 

training and experience over the years to a kaleidoscope 

of Malaysian political issues: democracy, freedoms, 

human rights, laws, police, detention without trial, racism, 

environment, arms spending, energy, politics, reform, 

and more. He urges Malaysians to think beyond the two 

front political systems toward a third political force that 

calls for democratic planning, direct action and popular 

participation on the reform of Malaysian society.

The Malayan Peoples’ Independence 

Struggle 

Kua Kia Soong 

Patriots & Pretenders is the peoples’ 

history of the Malayan Independence 

struggle, which challenges the ‘official’ 

version of how ‘Merdeka’ was won. 

Following on from his 2007 best-selling 

May 13: Declassified Documents on

Kia Soong here attempts to put the 

record straight on another important 

episode in Malaysian history. As in

Archives which reveal the thinking behind British colonial 

strategy during the Emergency, especially for post-colonial 

Malaya. These documents also reveal the efforts of the 

British High Commissioner at the time, in the formation of 

the Alliance. 

While this country remains stuck in a racialist rut after 

54 years on Independence, Patriots & Pretenders calls on 

Malaysian to break through to a people-centred non-racial 

agenda for change. From the lessons of the past, Kua 

outlines some pointers to the future which could form 

the Malaysian peoples’ demands for the next general 

elections.

What Really Happened 

Edited by Nathaniel Tan 

“Three things cannot long remain hidden: 

the sun, the moon and the truth.” What 

really happened at the Bersih 2.0 peaceful 

rally in Kuala Lumpur on the 9th of 

July, 2011? This bilingual book features 

eyewitness accounts from Malaysians who 

were there, selected from Malaysiakini, 

Loyarburok, Facebook, blogs and Twitter. 

The writers were patriotic enough to 

brave severe warnings and a heavy clampdown by a 

government that did not seem to want to hear them – 

Malaysians who answered the call of duty to our future 

generations, and risked their comfort and well being so 

that they could tell their children and grandchildren: when 

it mattered the most, we stood up and were counted. In 

their stories, we see Malaysians transcend politics to unite 

for a cause that is the right of every single Malaysian, 

regardless of their ideology or background – a right to 

clean and fair elections. As these stories tell, something 

beautiful was born on that 9th of July.

Declassified Documents on the Malaysian 

Riots of 1969 (New Edition) 

Kua Kia Soong 

This is the first credible account of the 

May 13, 1969 racial riots/program in 

Malaysia using documents recently 

declassified at the Public Records 

Office, London after the lapse of

sources remain classified or have been 

destroyed, these documents provide the 

only available confidential observations 

and memoranda by British and other 

foreign embassy operative. They include dispatches by 

correspondents which were not available to Malaysians at 

the time. A social scientist, Kua Kia Soong provides a fresh 

political analysis of this “May 13 Incident”. In his view, the 

riots were by no means a spontaneous of violence between 

Malays and Chinese but rather an orchestrated coup d’etat 

by the ascendant state capitalist class against the Tunkuled 

aristocracy. He discusses the contradictions of the 

post-independence Alliance racial formula and traces the 

rise of the Malay state capitalist class in UMNO which has 

ruled Malaysia since 1969.

The Tiger That Lost its Roar 

A Tale of Malaysia's Political Economy 

Tony Pua 

Tony Pua was elected as the Member 

of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara in 

March 2008. He's currently the National 

Publicity Secretary of the Democratic 

Action Party (DAP). Tony has played a 

leading role in exposing the scandals of 

the Barisan Nasional government. For 

proposing to improve the current housing 

discount scheme for bumiputeras to 

better benefit the poor, Tony received a death threat 

in the form of an M-16 live bullet. For questioning the 

multi-billion ringgit deals by the Ministry of Defence, he 

was accused as being a foreign spy. For fighting political 

cronyism, he was sued for defamation by SYABAS. Tony's 

first English book tells the tale of Malaysia's politics 

is deeply intertwined with our economy. He backs his 

thesis that corruption, cronyism and abuse of power are 

crippling our ability to compete in the global economy with 

facts and figures. His insights tell of how Malaysians can 

fulfill our potential and make a difference for our future 

generations.

Striving for Change 

Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad 

‘Striving for Change’ is more than just a 

cliché and surely not an over worked one. 

‘Striving for Change’ intends to depict the 

struggle of a nation and of a people, who 

after the watershed 12th GE, suddenly 

regaining both psychological strength and 

intellectual confidence that ‘Change’ is 

after all, not only plausible but mandatory. 

The decades of unbridled arrogance of the BN’s 

government and ruling with impunity have to come to an 

end. Otherwise, this resource-rich nation would be ruined 

beyond redemption. This author representing the Islamist 

party of Malaysia, PAS, passionately advocates Change 

and Reform, whose benefits would go beyond the divides 

of race, culture and religion. This book is also a modest 

attempt at putting Political Islam as advocated by PAS, 

within the context and challenges of the 21st century 

contemporary politics.

An Inclusive Society 

Edited by Centre for Malaysian Chinese Studies 

The papers in this publication are studies 

on the Chinese community in Malaysia in 

relation to development in Southeast Asia. 

The formation of Chinese communities 

in the region was established by waves 

of migration into the region over periods 

of time. However, given the proximity to 

China, there has been and there will 

always be the reminder of an exogenous influence, the 

China factor, on the Chinese communities in the region. In 

fact the Xinhua News Agency from the People’s Republic 

of China reported recently, with pride, that there are now 

an estimated forty five million Overseas Chinese all over 

the world. Studies as presented by the authors indicate the 

diversity of the Chinese community in Malaysia. Often the 

community is mistakenly perceived as a monolithic entity. 

The truth could not be more different. The community 

comprise minority groups such as Chinese Muslims, 

Chinese Christians and Peranakans, besides the common 

perception of only Buddhists and Taoists. All are Malaysian 

Chinese but different in their faiths and worldviews.

Someone Had To Say It... 

Tunku Abdul Aziz 

These articles cover a wide range 

of topics; social, economic, political 

and ethical issues that I felt to be in 

need of ventilating in a responsible, 

open and direct manner. The 

overwhelming majority of our 

people, of all age groups, having 

lived under an authoritarian, albeit 

benign, regime for close to three 

decades, unfortunately, do not even 

realise the extent to which their 

constitutional rights have been eroded. It was, I thought, 

about time they confronted these issues and reclaimed 

their rights as Malaysians, rights that have been 

systematically denied them – Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim,

The Palestine Nakba 

Decolonising History, Narrating the 

Subaltern, Reclaiming Memory 

Nur Masalha 

2012 marks the 64 th anniversary of the 

Nakba-the most traumatic catastrophe 

that ever befell Palestinians. This book 

explores new ways of remembering and 

commemorating the Nakba. In the context 

of Palestinian oral history, it explores 

‘social history from below’, subaltern 

narratives of memory and the formation 

of collective identity. Masalha argues that to write 

more truthfully about the Nakba is not just to practice 

a professional historiography but an ethical imperative. 

The struggles of ordinary refugees to recover and 

publicly assert the truth about the Nakba is a vital way 

of protecting their rights and keeping the hope for peace 

with justice alive. This book is essential for understanding 

the place of the Palestine Nakba at the heart of the 

Israel-Palestine conflict and the vital role of memory in 

narratives of narratives of truth and reconciliation.

Palestinian Women 

Narrative Histories and Gendered Memory 

Fatma Kassem 

Palestinian Women is the first book to 

examine and document the experiences 

and historical narrative of ordinary 

Palestinian women who witnessed the 

events of 1948 and became involuntary 

citizens of the State of Israel. Known in 

Palestinian discourse as the Nakba, or 

the Catastrophe, these events of sixty 

years ago still powerfully resonate 

in contemporary Palestinian-Jewish relations. Told in 

their own words, the women’s experiences serve as 

a window for examining the complex intersections of 

gender, nationalism and citizenship amidst ongoing violent 

political conflict. In narrating these stories, Palastinian 

Women argues that the realm of memory is a site of 

commemoration and resistance.

Sun Yat-Sen 

Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution

In view of the 100 th anniversary of the 

1911 Revolution and Sun Yat-Sen’s 

relations with the Nanyang communities, 

the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies 

and the Chinese Heritage Centre 

came together to host a two-day 

bilingual conference on the three-way 

relationships between Sun Yat-Sen, 

Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution in 

October 2010 in Singapore. This volume is a collection 

of papers in English presented at the conference. While 

there are extensive research and voluminous publications 

on Sun Yat-Sen and the 1911 Revolution, it was felt that 

less had been done on the Southeast Asian connections. 

Thus this volume offers not only some original and at 

times provocative analysis on Sun Yat-Sen and the 1911 

Revolution but also contributions from selected Southeast 

Asian countries.

Revolutionary Spirit 

Jose Rizal in Southeast Asia 

John Nery 

Like his great contemporaries Sun 

Yat-sen and Mohandas K. Gandhi, 

the Philippine patriot and polymath 

Jose Rizal (1861-1896) helped 

write the history of freedom in Asia. 

His two subversive novels and an 

immortal last poem helped inspire 

the first nationalist revolution on the 

continent and led to the founding of 

the first Asian republic. 

But what was Rizal's impact on the nationalist awakening 

in Southeast Asia? This book argues that by infusing 

a revolutionary spirit into the struggle to create a 

Philippine nation in the late 19th century, Rizal ended up 

helping invigorate Indonesian nationalism and Malaysian 

scholarship, regional political discourse and world 

literature, in the 20th - and remains must reading in the 

21st.

Women, Violence and Tradition 

Taking FGM and Other Practices to a Secular 

State 

Edited by Tamsin Bradley 

Women, Violence and Tradition is a 

fascinating look into the life histories of 

women from ethnic minority communities 

in the West, focusing specifically on their 

experiences of under researched cultural 

practices. It illuminates areas of tension 

and difficulty when women actively try 

to reform aspects of their tradition whilst 

remaining fiercely loyal to their cultural 

identity. Other examples highlight how young women 

choose to endorse traditional practices as a way of 

legitimizing their religion and culture in the face of 

increasing hostility. This brave and original book tackles 

the sensitive and controversial issue of female genital 

mutilation, as well as surveying changing attitudes 

and practices around marriage and divorce. Using 

a cross-cultural perspective, Women, Violence and 

Tradition draws on the views of activists and community 

organizations that work with women to confront injustice.

The writings of Nawal El Saadawi are 

essential to anyone wishing to understand

Egypt and in the wider world. Saadawi is 

a figure of international significance, and her work has 

a central place in Arabic history and culture of the last 

half century. Featuring work never before translated into 

English, The Essential Nawal El Saadawi gathers together 

a wide range of Saadawi’s writing. From novellas and short 

stories to essays on politics, culture, religion and sex; 

from extensive interviews to her work as a dramatist; from 

poetry to autobiography, this book is essential for anyone 

wishing to gain a sense of the breadth of Saadawi’s work.

Edited by Aisha K. Gill and Sundari Anitha 

Forced Marriage brings together 

leading practitioners and

characterises efforts to explain, 

and even justify, this violation of women’s rights. By 

locating forced marriage within broader debates on 

violence against women, social justice and human rights, 

the authors offer an intersectional perspective that can 

be used to inform both theory and practice, making 

this unique book essential reading for practitioners and 

students alike.

Menopausal Palestine 

Women at the Edge 

Suad Amiry 

Palestine, menopausal? Can a 

women’s condition called ‘change 

of life’ afflict a state-in-the-making? 

Suad Amiry’s wacky, irreverent, 

unmistakably political account links 

the state of Palestine to the lives of 

ten women for whom Palestine – or 

its absence – was the centrifugal 

force around which their lives 

revolved. For 40 years, from the 1967 

war till Hamas’ victory in 2006, the 

women in this book shared a past and unfulfilled dreams 

and aspirations. With that victory, however, they now 

mourn the loss of a diverse Arab culture, of secularism and 

pluralism, and their replacement by what Amiry calls “local 

nationalism” and “global religious fundamentalism”. She 

recalls the social and political history of Palestine “through 

the lives of my PLO women’s generation”, in what can only 

be called a personal-political tour de force.

A Chinese Life of Islam 

The Search for Identity 

Yamin Cheng 

Most Malaysian Muslims of Chinese 

descent today are converts to Islam. 

They are a legacy of their own, having 

no ancestral links to any Islamic roots 

in China. Malaysian Chinese who 

come to Islam are from all kinds of 

backgrounds. Some received their 

education in Chinese, some in Malay, 

and some in English. Some have 

lifestyles influenced by their Chinese 

heritage, while some lean more towards the Malay culture, 

and some towards the Western way of life. It is therefore 

hard to characterize their Chinese Muslim identity. They 

want to be Muslim, remain Chinese, appear Malaysian, 

and accept what may best contribute to the well-being 

of their Muslim identity, including from the West. Being 

a group of Muslims who are Chinese yet Malaysian but 

with no ancestral roots of Islam in China, the Malaysian 

Chinese Muslims are faced with the task of carving their 

identity in this country. They are faced with this question: 

How am I a Muslim, yet Chinese and appear Malaysian?

Capital and Profit Sharing in Islamic 

Equity Financing 

Issues and Prospects 

Muhammad Abdurrahman Sadique 

Due to significant changes that have taken 

place in the nature and essence of money 

and monetary value, and the dominance of 

interest-based debt financing, the nature 

of capital and sharing of profit and loss 

have become complex issues. The book 

analyses in detail the practical relevance of 

these in the operation of Islamic financial 

institutions, and attempts to provide some new insight on 

the relevant Shari’ah regulations. The book studies capital 

in joint ventures financed by Islamic banks, examining the 

Shari’ah requirement regarding existence and presence 

of capital at the outset of the venture in the context 

of modern money, and exploring the admissibility of 

converting debt into capital and equity ventures based on 

non-monetary capital. It scrutinizes the method currently 

used by Islamic banks for determining the profit sharing 

ratio between the bank and the client, and suggests 

possible alternatives in line with Shari’ah objectives. 

The author also discusses at length various clauses 

incorporated to modern equity financing agreements.

dengan musuh. Sebab itulah musuh sentiasa mengintai 

peluang untuk memukul mereka sehingga rebah 

tersungkur diulit dengan arus deras hedonism dan 

penyembahan ideology manusia yang sesat. Matlamat 

buku ini adalah untuk menyuntik energy yang berterusan 

untuk anak muda dengan pil-pil kesedaran bertunjang 

ilmu, kerana ledakan semangat tanpa ilmu dan pencerahan 

adalah fatamorgana di Sahara yang kontang.

An Introduction to the History of 

Sufism 

The Four Pillars of Islam 

Arthur J. Arberry 

This work is made up of lectures 

in memory of the Indian Muslim 

scholar Abdullah Suhrawardy (d. 

1935), delivered by the author at 

the University of Calcutta in 1942. 

In three lectures, Arberry provides 

an introduction to the history of 

mysticism in Islam. He begins by 

reviewing the work of past scholars 

and researches conducted by his 

contemporaries. He traces the early 

interest of Sufism in Europe as well 

as the Orientalist approach to the subject, and suggests a 

skeletal outline of any future work in studying the history 

of Sufism.

Dr. Abdullah Nasih Ulwan 

Buku ini dihadirkan ke tengah medan 

masyarakat dengan citra untuk 

menyuburkan energy perjuangan 

anak muda dan juga mengutarakan 

apakah peranan mereka sebagai 

khalifah Allah di atas muka bumi. 

Pemuda adalah tembok agama, 

dibahu mereka ummah meletakkan 

harapan untuk menjulang dan 

membentengi agama ini. Jika anak 

muda diselimuti kebobrokan dan 

kebejatan akhlak maka agama ini akan kehilangan 

pembenteng yang akan berdada dengan musuh. Nabi 

SAW sangat menjaga dan memberikan perhatian kepada 

kelompok anak muda, sejak daripada zaman awal dakwah 

sehinggalah sebelum Baginda SAW menutup mata. Anak 

muda didakap erat direlung hati baginda, anak muda 

dihantar menjadi barisan hadapan medan tempur, bahkan 

sang pencerah yang dihantar untuk menyebarkan ilmuilmu 

Islam.

Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi 

In this work by one of twentieth 

century’s greatest exponents of 

Islam, the place of Prayer, Zakat, 

Fasting and Hajj are explained 

at length in the context of the 

Shari’ah their legal position, 

worth and importance in the 

religious structure, as well as 

in the individual and collective 

spheres of existence. The 

author describes this work, first 

published in Arabic in 1968, as 

“the fruits of both ancient and modern scholarly 

endeavour”, and represents the rich Islamic literature 

on the subject of worship by scholars of the past. A 

comparative study is also undertaken in order to shed 

light on how each of these pillars is represented in other 

religions.

Ecology & Environment

Weathering the Climate Crisis 

The Way of Ecological Agriculture 

Climate crisis has become the scourge 

of the past several decades, threatening 

our lives and livelihoods in the most 

devastating ways. And its most serious 

impacts are being felt on the food and 

agriculture and food security of the world 

and on its majority practitioners – the 

small food producers, fishers and herders 

and, particularly the indigenous peoples and the women. 

But this climate change is no longer the natural 

phenomenon that it once used to be. In fact, today most 

of the otherwise called ‘natural disasters’ like floods, 

typhoons, hurricanes, drought and famine are found to be 

consequences of the climate change and global warming. 

This climate change – more rapid, more uncertain, more 

recurrent with more wide-ranging impacts and more 

catastrophic – is almost entirely man-made. Yet at the 

global level, governments and international agencies 

continue to evade addressing its deep rooted causes. On 

the contrary, the international discourse on climate change 

converted an essentially justice issue into one of trading 

options and opportunities.

Common Ground 

The Sharing of Land and Landscapes for 

Sustainability 

Mark Everard 

The relationship between humanity 

and the land has shifted significantly 

and frequently throughout our tenure. 

Appropriating increasing proportions of 

nature’s resources to meet our shifting 

and growing demands, we have been 

degrading the quality and extent of 

ecosystems, perilously undermining their 

capacities to meet the needs of a burgeoning population. 

Common Ground explores this shifting relationship, 

examining the changing understandings of the natural 

world and its management and exploitation. Environmental 

activist Mark Everard presents solutions from the 

perspective of ecosystem services and looks ahead to 

what is required to live sustainably, respecting the central 

role of landscapes in supporting human well-being into the 

long-term future.

Dateline Earth 

Journalism as if the Planet Mattered (2nd 

Edition) 

Kunda Dixit 

The Internet has transformed journalism, 

changed the way we find out what is 

happening around us. But information 

overload means that attention spans 

are getting shorter. Journalism content, 

globally and within countries, is still 

preoccupied with what is important for the 

rich and the powerful. This second 

edition of Dateline Earth: Journalism as if the Planet 

Mattered, first published in 1997, looks at how to cover 

stories on environment and development, on poverty 

and injustice, with professionalism, depth and authority. 

Nepali journalist Kunda Dixit has devoted his career to 

gaining space for alternative issues in the mainstream 

press. Drawing from three decades of experience, he 

explores and analyses the links between environment and 

development, between the ecology and the economy.

An Upland Community in Transition 

Institutional Innovations for Sustainable 

Development in Rural Philippines 

Agnes C. Rola 

All over Southeast Asia, rural communities 

are in transition to a sustainable status. 

This book explores how an environmentally 

fragile upland community in rural 

Philippines coped with and responded 

to economic and environmental tensions 

brought about by a globalized economy 

and decentralization. This in turn gave 

rise to local power especially in the management of natural 

resources. Time-series farm and household-level data of 

the study community characterized upland development 

in the Philippines during the turn of the 21st century. 

Farmer stories on how land-use decisions were affected 

were by economic policies and environmental stresses 

were told and documented. As the tension between the 

economy and the environment exhibit both predicted 

and unforeseen changes, this book suggests institutional 

innovations, promoting a greater understanding of 

sustainable rural development in the developing world.

King of the Sea 

Dina Zaman 

So much of what has 

appeared in the media about 

Muslims in the last few years 

is alarmingly negative. Due 

to political developments 

in the Middle East, many 

Muslims feel that they are 

being typecast either as 

“good moderates” or “evil 

fundamentalists”. Ms Dina 

very clearly demonstrates 

that there are many different 

shades and types of 

Malaysian Muslims, and helps 

to break the bounds of such 

binary thinking – (I Am

The Beruas Prophecy 

Iskandar Al-Bakri 




20 Aug 1824, Robert Fullerton has just 

been appointed the Governor of the Prince 

of Wales Island (Penang) under the British 

administration in India. He is intent on 

intervening in the affairs of Perak, which 

is under the influence of Siam, despite 

reservations of the Colonial Office in 

London. To achieve his end of persuading 

Perak to accept a British Resident for ‘protection’, but 

primarily to gain access to its riches, Fullerton condones 

privateering, the escalation of piracy in the waters 

of the state. The story trails the dark of the Malay 

Peninsula involving, politically influential, Malay secret 

societies during this period. Indera Sakti was formed in 

the sixteenth century, after the defeat of the Malaccan 

army by the Portuguese, by soldiers who vowed to 

take back the entire peninsula, but currently consists of 

“sadistic reptiles who are assassins, pirates and other 

undesirables”. Darul Kubra, the other society, was 

formed to protect the treasures of Malik Al-Mansur, the 

ruler of Beruas who abandoned the city and fled from 

the advancing Portuguese. This is historical fiction, a 

swashbuckling tale of silat and sorcery, piracy and plunder 

and magic.

Malacca 

A Romance 

Kamsiah M Bostock 

This fascinating novella is a farrago of 

tales, of forbidden love in the palace, 

spice gardens, aphrodisiac recipes, 

secret trysts, lovemaking in the woods, 

and the culinary skills of a celebrated 

beauty with a super startle. Set in 

exotic, cosmopolitan old Melaka, with 

an offshore brothel, after its fall in 

1511 to the Portuguese forces, the 

author’s fecund and lively historical 

imagination recreates the role of the 

famed Portuguese apothecary Tome Pires (author of 

Suma Oriental) as a coign of vantage. While collecting 

indigenous knowledge on the fabled and fallen kingdom 

and on spices, herbs, common cures and love potions, 

he listens in to these marvellous tales from a couple of 

colourful local characters. The author’s descriptive power 

skilfully evokes nostalgia of a bygone age and impresses 

with her rich knowledge of Melaka’s history.

GB titles are found in bookshops large and small throughout Malaysia and in Singapore, in all good 

chain bookstores as well as independent bookshops and campus bookstores. In an era where books 

and publishing are becoming endangered species, GB is dedicated to the idea that books really matter 

and that they play a key role in the building of a creative, thoughtful, useful and progressive life. 

Books bring to light or keep focus on issues silenced, forgotten or deemed too boring by today’s 

mass media and culture of apathy, shopping and forgetting. GB is dedicated to circulating timely 

and important books, breaking down artificial barriers between writers/thinkers in institutions and 

everyone else, and generating informed discussions of important issues in our lives by providing 

different views and fresh insights. 

We at GB are also working to expand links between Malaysian and regional and international 

publishers, thus making non-mainstream writers more accessible to a local audience and vice versa.

We supply books nationwide to: 

• Popular Book Company (all outlets) 

• MPH Bookstore (all outlets) 

• Borders Bookstore (all outlets) 

• Times The Bookshop (all outlets) 

• Kinokuniya Book Store

About SIRD 

SIRD (Strategic Information and Research Development Centre) was founded 

as an independent publishing imprint in 2000. SIRD books are distributed 

by its sister organization, GB, and aim to contribute to the development of an 

intelligent, dynamic, diverse, and democratic Malaysian society. 

We also hope to help increase the range of books published locally in both 

English and Bahasa Malaysia. 

Writing is an art as well as a craft. We are always open to original ideas for 

books in our subject areas, but please do contact us to obtain a copy of our 

book proposal template first. Guidelines for prospective authors are available 

on our website (www.gerakbudaya.com).
