James Puthucheary: Writings, Poems,<br />
Commentaries (Second Edition)<br />
Edited by Dominic Puthucheary and Jomo K. S.<br />

contained in time present’, wrote<br />

and provocative letter from prison<br />
more than fifty years ago. Informed<br />
by a profound understanding of<br />
history and convinced by the need<br />
to construct a sustainable future<br />
for his country, Puthucheary spent<br />
a lifetime engaged with the most<br />
pressing problems of the day. The<br />
new edition of No Cowardly Past<br />
brings together some of his most<br />
important essays on political economy, the struggle for<br />
a progressive politics and the character of university<br />
education, as well as his lyrical and pungent poetry.<br />

sebagai Ketua AWAS Pahang,<br />

kerajaan Malaysia dan kerajaan Thailand pada tahun 1989.<br />
Kisah hidup dan perjuangan Siti Norkiah, dari muda hingga<br />

The Fajar Generation<br />
The University Socialist Club and the Politics<br />
of Postwar Malaya and Singapore<br />
Edited by Poh Soo Kai, Tan Jing Quee and Koh Kay Yew<br />
The Fajar Generation tells the<br />
hitherto neglected story of a<br />
remarkable group of men and<br />
women who advanced a radical<br />
agenda of anti-colonialism,<br />
democracy, multiculturalism and<br />
social justice through the agency<br />
of the University of Malaya<br />
Socialist Club. Through personal<br />
memoirs and analytical essays<br />
the contributors to this collection<br />
illuminate their own roles in<br />
that struggle – the hopes and<br />
despairs, the triumphs and<br />
defeats. At the same time they remind us of just how much<br />
of that progressive political agenda is still to be won in<br />
contemporary Malaysia and Singapore.<br />
