Contemplating Sufism
A pioneering study on Islamic spirituality in Southeast Asia, presenting a fresh approach to the longevity of the Sufi dialogical tradition Contemplating Sufism explores the factors and forces that have enabled Islam to assert and embed itself in Southeast Asia. Using a unique “contemplative histories” methodology, Khairudin Aljunied reveals the multiple undercurrents that continue to influence Sufi thought and practices. The book argues that the Sufis employed creative and spirited dialogues with themselves and those they encountered to sustain their importance in Southeast Asia for many centuries. Engaging and highly readable, Contemplating Sufism is filled with vignettes and anecdotes...
Radicals
Radicals tells the story of a group of radical Malay men and women from ordinary social backgrounds who chose to oppose foreign rule of their homeland, knowing full well that by embarking on this path of resistance, they would risk imprisonment or death. Their ranks included teachers, journalists, intellectuals, housewives, peasants, preachers, and youths. They formed, led, and contributed to the founding of political parties, grassroots organizations, unions, newspapers, periodicals, and schools that spread their ideas across the country in the aftermath of the Great Depression, when colonialism was at its height and evident in all areas of life in their country. But when their efforts to u...
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.
Islam, Politics and Youth in Malaysia
Providing an ethnographic account of the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) and its Youth Wing (Dewan Pemuda PAS), this book analyses the genesis and role of Islamic movements in terms of their engagement in mainstream politics. It explores the party’s changing approach towards popular culture and critically investigates whether the narrative of a post-Islamist turn can be applied to the PAS Youth. The book shows that in contrast to the assumption that Islamic marketization and post-Islamism are reinforcing each other, the PAS Youth has strategically appropriated and integrated Islamic consumerism to pursue a decidedly Islamist – or ‘pop-Islamist’ – political agenda. The media-savvy P...
Mat Indera
‘Persoalan wira atau pejuang bukanlah sekadar melayani emosi atau citarasa sewenang, menurut tuntutan prasangka...Ia menuntut pengamatan halus soal-soal nilai, ideologi, konteks sejarah, pergolakan siasah semasa dan persoalan falsafah kayu ukur moralitas...bukan cuma moralitas tokoh-tokoh yang dijulang, tetapi juga mereka yang mendukung tokoh-tokoh berkenaan.’ – Shaharuddin Maaruf Asas kepada penerbitan buku ini untuk edisi kedua adalah daripada Mat Indera: Petualang atau Pejuang? yang diterbitkan lebih sedekad lalu. Sebahagiannya adalah hasil daripada rujukan rekod-rekod perbicaraan antara Pendakwaraya lawan Mohamad Sabu antara tahun 2011 hingga 2015. Perbicaraan itu telah menarik min...
