An Emerald Hill by The Sea: Nature Poems of USM (Penerbit USM)
“This collection of nature poems is resonant and appealing. They record lyrically the beauty of the landscape of USM campus that is just an emerald at the edge of the straits, with dense trees hundreds of years old, little enchanting slopes, and valleys adorned with plants, as well as clear, clean lakes and flowing waters. Most interestingly this is expressed through moods of the months and seasons of an equatorial climate. All the more so, when these poems are accompanied by sketches which are also captivating.” Priv.-Doz. Dr. Arndt Graf Department of the Languages and Cultures of Southeast Asia Asia-Africa-Institute University of Hamburg “Such magnificent poems that make one want to stay in this campus! Such a rich nature that can be nothing else than an invitation to study and to find the multitude of ideas.” Monique Lajoubert Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris “… translators … let the poets’ words bloom and sing. My good friends, Md. Salleh Yaapar and Lalita Sinha, have lent their exceptional talents to these poems. I am sure the beauty of their rendering will carry these poems beyond the shores of Penang and Malaysia.” Muhammad Haji Salleh
Songs of Memory in Islands of Southeast Asia
Twenty-three years of joint endeavors and extensive field collecting of the narratives referred to in the present volume have resulted in the availability of a multimedia archive of Philippine epics, ballads and rituals both at the Pardo de Tavera collection of the Rizal Library, Ateneo de Manila University, and online. The linguists, anthropologists, and ethno-musicologists who have contributed to this book have long been conscious of the close links between ‘Intangible Heritage’ and ‘Tangible Heritage’. In the Philippines, sung narratives have been recorded in situ (through both audio and audio-video media), transcribed, translated, digitized, and analyzed by scholars and knowledge...
The Avatar of 1786: Decolonizing the Penang Story
There must be a closure to the history of Pulau Pinang (and Kedah). There was no 1786 treaty - no agreement, no document, no signatories. The narrative continues independent of each other, representing an uncomfortable conscience glancing at each as two separate polities of Penang and Kedah, socially and intellectually structured by the year 1786. This book makes a strange revisit to pretension of a fact/event. And it counters the terra nullius doctrine. It also establishes that the lex loci was the Adat Temenggong (customary law) modified by the Qanun (laws) of Kedah. Malay collective memory maintains that Pulau Pinang is integral to the Kedah Sultanate. The island has law, order and society before the presence of the Europeans; not a "band of natives and fishermen" as stereotyped by the colonial narrative, even in the colonial courts. The Malays in Pulau Pinang in recent decades have become 'beggars' to their own history. This book contests that history through moral and legal arguments, as well as raising the themes and issues of representation and redemption.
Hang Tuah di Lautan Ceritera

Jiwa ini terbelah, terseksa dan dirundung perbalahan yang tidak pernah selesai. Nilai-nilai dipertentangkan – di antara kesetiaan tanpa soalan dan perlawanan yang ingin menyatakan bantahan terhadap raja yang zalim.
