AKU, BUKU & KOTA KAHERAH
Aku, Buku & Kota Kaherah adalah himpunan memoir penulis yang penuh dimaknai dengan buku, sebagai seorang mahasiswa pada era 90-an di Kaherah – sebuah kota yang menyimpan kisah para anbia. Di antara bau buku-buku lama dan debu-debu bertebaran, kota ini juga menyaksikan pahit getir kehidupan penulis dalam mengharungi zaman belajarnya di sana. Semangat cintakan ilmu dan buku membawa beliau menerokasi pesta-pesta buku sehingga ke pasar-pasar buku di jalanan. Begitu gigih memburu buku-buku langka – hinggakan terpaksa berebut dengan si penggila buku! Penulis menceritakan pengalaman beliau tentang dunia buku yang dilaluinya. Ada apa dengan buku? Objek yang tak bernyawa itu? Tapi ia punya aura yang memikat hingga beliau memburu buku-buku lama, terpakai dan nadir. Asyiknya mencium bau buku-buku lama begitu mengujakan. Kita? Pasti merasai pengalaman yang sama juga. Hanya pencinta buku tahu apa perasaannya. “Apa yang tertulis akan terus abadi. Apa yang terucap akan berlalu – bersama angin.” Satu rangkap kata-kata yang dipegang penulis supaya terus menulis dan berkarya, lalu meninggalkan sesuatu yang bermakna, iaitu “buku”.

Lat
Mohammad Nor Khalid, far better known as Lat, is Malaysia's top cartoonist. In Lat: My Life and Cartoons he tells for the first time the story of his life. From his childhood in the idyllic village atmosphere so evocatively captured by him in his bestselling book Kampung Boy, through his years as a crime reporter in 1970s Kuala Lumpur, and several decades as an editorial and freelance cartoonist, Lat has achieved celebrity status and won the hearts and attention of millions with his inimitable style and perceptive insights. Respected by cartoonists around the world and venerated by the Malaysian public, his cartoons have been translated into nine languages and his animated series Kampung Boy has been broadcast in many countries including Canada. This treasure trove of memories tells the story of a man whose cartoons have come to represent the collective memories of an entire country. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs, memorabilia and carefully selected cartoons.
THE LONG SHADOW OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Stamford Raffles, James Brooke, John Crawfurd and Anna Leonowens were some of those who came from Europe or the United States to Southeast Asia in the nineteenth century — and then wrote about what they saw. Their writings deserve to be read now for what they truly were: Not objective accounts of a Southeast Asia frozen in imperial time but rather as culturally myopic and perspectivist works that betray the subject-positions of the authors themselves. Reading them would allow us to write the history of the East-West encounter through critical lenses that demonstrate the workings of power-knowledge in the elaborate war-economy of racialised colonial-capitalism. Many of the tropes used by these colonial-era scholars and travellers, such as the indolence or savagery of the native population, are still very much in use today — which means we still live in the long shadow of the 19th century.
