Balik-Tanaw: The Road Taken
Balik-Tanaw: The Road Taken is the memoir of the distinguished Filipino critic, Soledad S. Reyes. This book is a record of Reyess journey of more than seven decades where personal narrative intertwines with people and events, with social and political movements with which the country sought to negotiate the treacherous shoals in the postwar years. The account carries a fair amount of biographical data (as lodged in the critics memory in the absence of diaries), from her childhood into her college years. But as the context becomes wider and more complex, the narrative takes on a more analytical frame as she tries to make sense of disparate experiences whirling about her in the tumult of the 1970s and beyond, and in the startling changes in the political landscape, local and global, that now grip the Filipino nation. This account, according to the author, is a story of an individual constructing a narrative that seeks to impose order upon chaos by retrieving aspects of the past and weaving a series of recalcitrant experiences into a coherent whole.

State Terrorism and Political Identity in Indonesia
Approximately one million innocent Indonesians were killed by their fellow nationals, neighbours and kin at the height of an anti-communist campaign in the mid-1960s. This book investigates the profound political consequences of these mass killings in Indonesia upon public life, highlighting the historical specificities of the violence and comparable incidents of identity politics in more recent times. Mixing theory with empirically based analysis, the book examines how the spectre of communism and the trauma experienced in the latter half of the 1960s remain critical in understanding the dynamics of terror, coercion and consent today. Heryanto challenges the general belief that the periodic anti-communist witch-hunts of recent Indonesian history are largely a political tool used by a powerful military elite and authoritarian government. Despite the profound importance of the 1965-6 events it remains one of most difficult and sensitive topics for public discussion in Indonesia today. State Terrorism and Political Identity in Indonesia is one of the first books to fully discuss the mass killings, shedding new light on a largely unspoken and unknown part of Indonesia’s history.

MERAMBAH MATAHARI, PENGANTAR SASTRA BANDINGAN
Sejumlah karangan yang dimuat dalam buku kecil ini bukanlah karangan ilmiah sernata dan bukan pula buku teks untuk keperluan dosen pembina matakuliah saistra bandingan. Oleh karena itu, yang diharapkan dari buku ini adalah, ia dapat mengilhami para dosen atau peminat telah sastra untuk mengembangkan wawasan sastranya, khususnya, dalam kaitan sastra bandingan. Jika harapan ini terpenuhi, maka jelaslah, para dosen dan para penelaah sastra (ditingkat awal) masih membara jiwanya untuk mencuci hidup, merambah matahari kehidupan yang luas tak bertepi.
