Post-colonial Chinese Literatures in Singapore and Malaysia
This is the first book to present in English a history of post-colonial and diasporic Chinese literatures in Singapore and Malaysia. The 12 essays collected in it provide an in-depth study of the emergence of the new Chinese literatures by looking at the origins, the themes, the major authors and their works, and how the creativity is closely connected with the experience of immigration and colonialization and the challenge of the post-colonial world. In examining a wide range of post-colonial texts and their relation to the cultures of diasporic Chinese and post-colonial society, the author shows that each of the new literatures has its own traditions which reflect local social, political and cultural history. The essays also show that the literature of Singapore or Malaysia has a tradition of its own, and writers of world class. Besides the Chinese literary tradition, a native literary tradition has been created successfully.

Antara China dengan Tanah Tempatan: Satu Kajian Pemikiran Dwipusat di kalangan Penulis Cina di Tanah Melayu 1919-1957 (Penerbit USM)
Dengan menggunakan 'konsep dwipusat,' buku ini merekonstruksi kedudukan China dan tanah tempatan sebagai pusat pemikiran penulis Cina dari tahun 1919 hingga 1957. China mendominasi hingga tahun 1925 apabila tanah tempatan, dengan gelaran Nanyang, muncul dalam karya dan kritikan satera. Kemelesetan ekonomi dunia pada tahun 1929 menjadikan tanah tempatan sebagai pusat keprihatinan, tetapi China memuncak sebagai fokus semasa perang China-Jepun sekitar tahun 1937-1945. Walaupun istilah Malaiya (Malaya) dan Mahua buat kali pertama digunakan, penulis menganggap 'sastera Malaiya' seharusnya berkhidmat untuk China. Selepas Perang Dunia Kedua, Kontroversi Sastera Mahua 1947-1948 mengasingkan orientasi China daripada orientasi tempatan. Malaiya menjelma sebagai kampung halaman baru dan pusat ketaatan pada tahun 1950-an. Pergerakan Sastera Patriotik 1956 tepat sekali membayangkan peralihan pemikiran kepada Persekutuan Tanah Melayu yang diisytiharkan merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1957 Keywords: Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penerbit Universiti Sains Malayia, Penerbit USM Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia
