Blogging and Democratization in Malaysia:

Membina dan Meruntuh Malaysia:

A New Civil Society in the Making

Sebuah Imbasan Orang Dalam Tentang Umno, Razak dan Mahathir

Jun-E Tan and Zawawi Ibrahim

Ahmad Mustapha Hassan

Before the 12th Malaysian General Election, bloggers were called numerous, often unflattering, names by Malaysian government officials and other unsavoury characters. Virtually immediately after the election results, they were hailed by many, including the same unsavoury characters, as “key players” and “prime movers”. Some have even gone so far as to blame the dismal election performance of the Barisan Nasional on bloggers and blogging. Amidst all this, and the post-March 8 hype, this original, well-researched and very readable volume, provides a necessary resource for those who wish to understand Malaysian blogging more comprehensively within a wider socio-political context. This volume is certainly necessary reading for Malaysians who wish to understand how the new media may or may not be able to contribute to the expansion of democratic space. And it really ought to be compulsory reading for the unsavoury characters who still refuse to understand where Malaysia is heading.

Apakah yang telah dicapai oleh dua orang Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang lalu, dan apakah warisan yang mereka tinggalkan? Buku ini merupakan pengkisahan orang dalam pertama tentang pentadbiran Malaysia selepas kemerdekaan, iaitu pada tahun 1970-an dan 1980-an, daripada perspektif pemerhati di tepi gelanggang. Pengarang, Ahmad Mustapha Hasan, bukan hanya seorang nasionalis dan sosialis pada zaman mudanya, beliau juga aktif dalam pergerakan pelajar dan pemuda UMNO. Beliau telah menerapkan pengalaman beliau yang kaya dan pelbagai pada huraian tentang keadaan komuniti Melayu ini. Mustapha membawa pembaca melalui beberapa fasa penglibatan beliau dalam pentadbiran negara dan politik UMNO pada tahun-tahun pembentukannya.

The Memoirs of a Malayan Communist Revolutionary Fong Chong Pik

Fong Chong Pik, or Fang Chuang Pi or Lee Ping, or “The Plen” as he variously known, spent his twilight years, post 1989 Peace Accord, contemplating and writing about his life on the flipside of Malayan history. Longing to return home at last but never allowed to, he was acutely aware of how he, and the Left, had been written out, or excoriated, in the official accounts of Singapore’s independence struggles. The vividly told episodes of courage, treachery, honour, and loss will leave you wanting to know more about the true history of Singapore as part of Malaya, and the men and women who have been forgotten.

Sharing the Nation:

Faith, Difference and the State 50 Years After Merdeka Norani Othman, Mavis C. Puthucheary & Clive S. Kessler

Malaysia’s independence and its Constitution are grounded upon the political bargaining process and ensuing “social contract” that made them possible. Yet two major questions central to the “Merdeka process” persist. Recent controversies now pose the question whether there has been any change in the nation’s formative “social contract” and, if so, whether it has been openly negotiated and imposed? These issues are addressed in this collection of essays. Together they clarify the origins in political philosophy of the term “social contract”, trace its largely unacknowledged modification as it was imported into and adapted to the Malaysian context, and explore the uses to which in its refashioned form it has been put in Malaysian politics.

Failed Nation?

The Singapore Judiciary Francis T. Seow

“Once again, Francis Seow has revealed, with his usual rigour and attention to detail, a vital part of Singapore’s repressive machinery, this time by placing his spotlight on its judiciary. Beyond Suspicion? The Singapore Judiciary is essential to understanding the true nature of human rights abuses in that country. Particularly thorough are the chapters dealing with the use of civil defamation suits through the courts by ruling party leaders against political critics. Seow’s meticulous treatment of these suits clearly illustrates that in politically sensitive cases, the Singapore judiciary has not moved to check the Executive’s misuse of the law. Human rights campaigners now and the historians of the future will regard it as required reading”. Publisher: SIRD 2008: 405 pp ISBN: 9789833782482: RM50.00 / US$19.00 NEW

This is an essential book by one of Malaysia’s most courageous and important public intellectuals and writers.

Beyond Suspicion?

Fax: 603 - 7954 9202

This is a study of the Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM)—the first Malay political party, established in 1938 and led by Ibrahim Yaacob. KMM is often regarded as the precursor of the ‘Malay Left’ Modern Malay politics is said to have divided into a ‘left’ and a ‘right’ stream from the 1930s. This book makes this largely academic debate available to a wider public, contextualising KMM’s founding within early 20th century transformations of Malay and Malayan society—especially the emergence of an elite alienated from, and dissatisfied with, traditional court-based power. It argues that the Malay Left emerged within the new elite’s two-pronged struggle: against colonialism and against the traditional rulers who were the only ones allowed a ‘voice’. A good read for anyone wishing to go beyond the generally airbrushed and bland versions of Malay, Malayan, and Malaysian history. Publisher: SIRD 2008: 78 pp ISBN: 9789833782444: RM18.00 / US$7.00

The Malaysian Indians:

Speaking Out Loud For National Unity:

History, Problems and Future

Social Change and Nation-Building in Contemporary Malaysia

Desmond Tate

Collin Abraham

This book is a welcome compilation of short but thoughtful pieces by a prominent sociologist, Collin Abraham, which indicate his concerns over issues of everyday manifestations of social life in Malaysia ranging from business and economic structures to the hardships of ordinary workers What I find to be most moving and intellectually satisfying here is that they are the empathic observations of a truly concerned social scientist who has undergone the rigorous “training” of a social welfare officer and has also been an academic social activist.

Abu Samah Mohd Kassim:

Pejuang Kiri Kemerdekaan Zuriat Datuk Bahaman

A much-needed introduction to the history of a significant minority community in Malaysia, the Indians, this book was written several years before the Hindraf rallies of 2007. It is a balanced, scholarly yet readable account of the origins, contributions, and continuing divisions and problems faced by this diverse community. The focus is on those who migrated or were brought to work in colonial plantations and the civil service in the late 19th and early 20th century. Both educated and poor labouring classes came to this nation, and were part and parcel of its growth, prosperity and political upheavals. Readers are also reminded of the important, centuries-old, precolonial ties between India and Southeast Asia—links that deeply influenced religion, culture and trade, including in the Malay peninsula. It is hoped that this book will be the springboard for more rational discussion, and informed public debates and policies about the Malaysian Indians, including its poorest, most marginalized, sections.

For many people, history is often a boring flurry of dates, treaties and pompous princes. In Where Monsoons Meet, Malaysian history is re-presented as a series of amusing (yet painlessly instructive) cartoons. Stretching from the Malacca Sultanate in 1400s to the granting of Merdeka and the Federation of Malaya in 1957. Some notable highlights include the squabble of colonial powers over Malacca, the fierce rebellion of the Malayan people against the establishment of British indirect rule, the gallant resistance against the Japanese occupation, the drastic British measures taken to suppress the anticolonial struggle during the ‘Emergency’ and the formation of the various political parties forces of the period before ‘independence’. Available in English and Bahasa Malaysia, a book for all Malaysian homes and a must read for anyone aged 12 to 100.

This book explores issues, raises questions and illuminates the complexities involved in developing an indigenous, culturally appropriate, social work practice in a culturally diverse region in Sarawak. Using border crossings as the central metaphor, the author explores the local help-seeking and help-giving experiences which provides insightful data leading to clear articulation of the way forward to indigenising social work. The implications raised by this book are not only relevant to Sarawak, but also to the social work profession’s grappling with the issue of appropriate practice in multicultural settings anywhere. The exploration of culture, research and ways of knowing will also be of great interest to students and scholars in Social Sciences. The themes of searching from within, of uplifting indigenous knowledge, of decolonising research methodologies within the lines of this book will strike a chord among all those who have traversed, or are exploring this journey.

The Unmaking of Malaysia Ahmad Mustapha Hassan

This book represents the first insider account of the post-independence administrations of Malaysia in the 1970s and 1980s. The author, Ahmad Mustapha Hassan, was a nationalist and socialist in his youth as well as an active member of the student movement and UMNO youth. Mustapha takes the reader through the various phases of his involvement in the country’s administration and in UMNO politics during the country’s formative years. In particular, he focuses on the various facets of the administration of Tun Razak and that of Dr Mahathir. The author believes that Dr Mahathir has sown the seeds of hatred and disunity among the Malays by clinging stubbornly to his perceived vision and dealing ruthlessly with his opposition during his 22-year tenure.

Towards a Competitive Malaysia:

Development Challenges in the 21st Century M. Bakri Musa

Malaysia’s foremost challenges are the fragmentation of its society and the deterioration of its institutions. Social stability is a prerequisite for economic growth, and effective institutions are needed for optimizing it. The deepening polarization of the Malays poses a far greater threat than the more readily recognized divisions between the races, and Malaysian institutions are fast losing their integrity and effectiveness through the twin blights of corruption and incompetence. The author argues that Malaysia should integrate its economy with those of Brunei and Indonesia (IMB) instead of the ambitious and unattainable ASEAN common market.

Frontier Encounters:

Indigenous Communities and Settlers in Asia and Latin America Danilo Geiger

Poverty and the maldistribution of land in core areas of developing countries, together with state schemes for the colonization of unruly frontiers, have forced indigenous peoples and settlers into an uneasy co-existence. Presenting material from various Asian and Latin American countries, Frontier Encounters examines factors that make for conflict and accommodation, studies the role of policy frames. Danilo Geiger has an M. A. in social anthropology from the University of Zürich, Switzerland and is a lecturer in political anthropology. His experience includes fieldwork in the Philippines and Indonesia and he is currently coordinating a four-year comparative research project on conflicts between indigenous communities and settlers in South and Southeast Asia.

Economic Liberalization, Globalization, Poverty & Inequality Edited by Jomo K.S. with Jacques Baudot

Many mainstream economists have claimed that globalization creates worldwide growth, and that economic liberalization will lead to economic convergence and lower inequality. It is now clear that since the 1980s the world economy has experienced slower growth as well as greater inequalities at the national level. The research in this volume provides rigorous empirical analyses of how economic liberalization has actually affected inequality, poverty and development in recent decades. This book provides a balanced account of recent trends, the effects of globalization and liberalization, and the comparative experiences of countries that have pursued different economic policies and trajectories.

Beyond Chinatown:

The Resistible Rise of Market Fundamentalism:

New Chinese Migration & the Global Expansion of China

Rethinking Development Policy in an Unbalanced World

Mette Thuno

Richard Kozul-Wright and Paul Rayment

Chinese migration no longer has the exceptional and ambivalent nature of earlier times when virtual slaves dreamed of returning home to China as rich men but instead settled in Chinatowns across the globe. The products of economic liberalization, most migrants now leave China for a more promising future and often find ways to bring their families with them. The rise of China in a globalizing world is having a major impact on Chinese migrant communities. Today, China matters—all around the world. Both its insatiable demand for raw materials and its flood of exported manufactures affect everyone; distant corners of the Third World that once had never heard of China now have a thriving Chinese presence. And third-generation Chinese living outside China now proudly proclaim their ethnic identity. A fresh look at Chinese migration and required reading for anyone interested in today’s changing global landscapes.

"Stablise, liberalise and privatise" has, since the debt crisis of the early 1980s, been the mantra chanted at developing countries with quasi-religious conviction by international financial institutions, donor countries and newspaper columnists. Policy debate has increasingly polarised into the rhetoric of extremes: trade liberalisers versus protectionists, cosmopolitan versus nationalist, the right-thinking versus the wrong -headed, and so on. In The Resistible Rise of Market Fundamentalism Richard Kozul-Wright and Paul Rayment expose the mix of selective evidence, mythical economic history, simplistic assumptions and opportunistic bias which comprise this prescription for economic development.

Edited by Kazuki Iwanaga

Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book seeks to examine the following questions in each of the chapters: (i) How do we distinguish between a formal community with the big ‘C’ and an informal community with a small ‘c’? ; (ii) What are the forces that are driving both the formal community and the informal community? In particular what are the signs that an ASEAN community is both developing and strengthening? ; and (iii) Is there a need for an ASEAN Community? Should we not look to ways of strengthening the ASEAN Community instead? This book is recommended for students, researchers and the general public who are intereted in ASEAN and Malaysia’s role in enhancing the ASEAN Community.

Continuity & Change

This edited volume, including contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field, addresses the challenges, obstacles and opportunities for increased women’s political representation in Thailand. Will Thai politics be different with an increase in the number of women politicians? What are the possibilities for Thai women to take proactive initiatives that aim to transform Thai politics into being more gender aware and equal? In seeking to address these and related issues, the analysis brings together a complex interplay of factors, such as traditional Thai views of gender and politics; the national and local political context of the new Thai constitution of 1997; and recent experiences of selected women politicians in the legislative and executive branches of Thai government.

Creating Laos:

The Making of a Lao Space Between Indochina & Siam, 1860 - 1945 Soren Ivarsson

The existence of Laos today is taken for granted. But the crystallization of a Lao national idea and ultimate independence for the country was a long and uncertain process. This book examines the process through which Laos came into existence under French colonial rule through to the end of World War II. Rather than assuming that the Laos we see today was an historical given, the book looks at how Laos's position at the intersection of two conflicting spatial layouts of ‘Thailand’ and ‘Indochina’ made its national form a particularly contested process.

Income Distribution & Sustainable Economic Development in East Asia:

Power, Resistance & Women Politicians in Cambodia:

Ragayah Hj. Mat Zin & Medhi Krongkaew

Mona Lilja

The East Asian region has experienced high economic growth for several decades. While this rapid growth has managed to bring down poverty incidence in all the eight countries studied (China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), income inequality in these countries seems to be widening. Each chapter concludes with several policy recommendations to improve income distribution and achieve sustainable growth.

This book focuses on Cambodian female politicians and the strategies they deploy in their attempts to destabilize the cultural boundaries and hierarchies that restrain them. In particular, the book focuses on how women use discourses and identities as means of resistance, a concept only recently of wide interest among scholars studying power. The value of this book is thus twofold: not only does it give a unique insight into the struggles of Cambodian women but also offers new insights to studies of power.

The Sociology of Southeast Asia:

Lost Goddesses:

Transformation in a Developing Region Victor T. King

One of the main problems faced by teachers and students who have a scholarly interest in Southeast Asia is the lack of general, userfriendly texts in the social sciences. The absence of an introduction to the sociology of Southeast Asia is especially unfortunate. It is the aim of this volume to meet these needs. This is, then, the first soleauthored introductory sociology text on Southeast Asia that focuses on change and development in the region, provides an overview of the important sociological and political economy writings, and considers the key concepts and themes in the field since 1945. Some multiauthored works do exist but these either are outdated or focus on specialized topics. Aimed primarily at undergraduates up to the final year, it will also be a useful reference work for postgraduates and researchers who lack such a general work.

In so doing, the book examines the relationship between women and power and analyses the extent of female political and economic participation as revealed in historical sources, including the ways in which women were represented in art and literature. This study will be of interest to scholars working in history, anthropology, gender studies, politics, religion, Cambodian/ Khmer studies, and Southeast Asian studies.

Women’s Political Participation and Representation in Asia: Obstacles and Challenges

This book attempts to engage the problematic of ethnicity and nation-building by using both historical and comparative perspectives. Taking the three former British colonies in the Asia-Pacific region—Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Fiji— which have their own specific problems and challenges in managing ethnic diversity and nation-building, this book addresses three inter-related questions. First, what was the nature of the envisioning of the nation at the time of independence? What were the forces and thinking behind such envisioning, and their implications for the postindependence era? Second, what are the implications of various public policies that have been put in place in crafting the nation and building the state during the postindependence era? Third, what are the new re-imaginings of the nation among various groups, expressed in various forms of contestations and attempts at accommodation or reconciliation? What are their possible impacts upon the future of these nations?

Asia Media Report: A Crisis Within



Pesticides & Breast Cancer: A Wake up Call

Have the Internet and new technologies brought about a more informative, independent or socially responsible media, or helped create more space to push for human rights and democracy? How are the pressures from the oftinvoked ‘market’ shaping trends in reporting and ownership of media in Asia? Barring a few gems here and there, the product of those transformative years has been anything but desirable. In many countries in Asia, the sacred walls of separation between editorial and marketing functions are breaking down, making way for the commercialisation of media and concentration of media ownership. These, in turn, raise questions about whether media have become just another business product, and how media can keep to their function of being watchdogs. Be it in Pakistan or China, Indonesia, Thailand or India, many among the region’s dominant media have metamorphosed into advertisement delivery vehicles for ever-hungry corporate masters.

Sebagai warga institusi yang komited terhadap misi membangun umat seluruhnya dan membina insan seutuhnya, para ilmuwan Dar al-Hikmah cuba menangani isu pembangunan insan, terutama dalam kaitannya dengan idea human capital yang ketika ini menjadi tema pembicaraan yang cukup meluas. Makalah-makalah yang termuat dalam buku ini mengangkat semula tema pembangunan insan, meliputi perbahasan tentang idealisme yang diaspirasikan dan reality yang harus ditangani.

Many would blame Malaysia's current political upheaval on decades of ineptitude, abuse, and race-based politics. Although the electoral "tsunami" suggest a rejection of past methods, an alignment on the way forward remains in doubt. RESET examines the fundamentals of Malaysia's socio-political fabric and delivers an uncompromising analysis of the underlying causes of the nation's current political crisis. It reveals our collective complicity and explains how, together, we might break the impasse. RESET is meant for all Malaysians (no matter their political allegiance) who are courageous, willing to call a spade, and want true effective and lasting change, in the name of their children, and those of their fellow countrymen.

Primer tentang hak (asasi) manusia migran

New Malaysian Essays 1

Terdapat banyak badan undangundang dan standard hak (asasi) manusia antarabangsa yang menjamin hak (asasi) manusia migrant. Walaubagaimanapun, masalahnya ialah bahawa kerajaan dan yang lain tidak punya kemahuan untuk menjadikan jaminan ini langkah yang praktikal dan bermakna. Tindakan diperlukan untuk menjadikan hak yang disediakan mengikut standard antarabangsa suatu realiti kepada migrant individu.Tumpuan utama saranan agenda Amnesty International untuk berkempen bagi hak migran ialah seruan untuk melayan semua migrant dengan penuh hormat bagi hak (asasi) manusia mereka dan maruah manusia.

New Malaysian Essays 1 is the first of a planned annual series concentrating on local non-fiction writing. From polemic to ode to memoir, this series invites Malaysian readers - and writers to notice, analyse and interpret the living, throbbing, squelching vitality around them. Multi-disciplinary, multi-tasking and best appreciated on multi-vitamins, this first collection takes us from Brian Yap’s election-era critique to Amir Muhammad’s alternative lexicon by way of Burhan Baki’s elegant deconstructions, Aminuddin Mahmud’s seminar on branding and Saharil Hasnin Sanin’s knockabout ruminations on language [in Malay] before rounding off with Sonia Randhawa’s stirring call for national (and therefore personal) self-realisation.

Journey Towards Clean and Fair Elections Only when elections are clean and fair, can citizens be real masters of their own destiny and expect holders of public office to act accountably and effectively. As long as citizens do not have the power to ‘throw the rascals out’, the hope for rule of law, human rights protection, good governance and sustainable development will be at the mercy of selfinterested politicians. Series of meetings were organized by BERSIH since then until BERSIH decided to organized The People’s Gathering at the heart of Kuala Lumpur on 10 November 2007.

The Malays:

Malaysia Human Rights Report 2007:

Their Problems and Future Syed Husin Ali

Civil and Political Rights

The Malays as an ethnic group has been defined on the basis of both legal-constitutional and historical-cultural factors. While it is difficult to speculate or visualise correctly the future of any country or people, it is possible to provide a general outline of the trends of the past and present, and probably attempt to at least indicate what should be avoided and promoted to ensure a better future. This is what Dr Syed Husin Ali attempts in this book. In nine chapters, he discusses the Malays and their origin, history, religion, economy, politics and development up to the present day. He connects all of these to the various changes in the forms of modernisation and development programmes which affected, and continue to impact upon, the Malays. Three decades have passed since the book was first published. During that time many changes have taken place in the country. But the basic problems facing the Malays, contends the writer, have remained the same. The current controversies on the declining power of the Malays, as perceived by some, affirm these problems, and make the book more relevant.

SUARAM’s annual report is the most objective, comprehensive and dependable source of information on the state of human rights in Malaysia. This edition reports on various areas and cases of the failure of state institutions to safeguard human rights. In 2007 the government continued to drag its feet on the most crucial of 125 recommendations by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police. Draconian laws, such as the Internal Security Act, were used to detain individuals without trial. Other laws, including the Printing Presses and Publications Act and the Sedition Act were invoked to curb basic freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. The politicisation of Islam in recent years has also resulted in violations of human rights. 2007 saw cases of persecution of Muslims who chose to renounce Islam or practice religious teachings other than Sunni Islam. We also document cases in which the rights of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants in Malaysia were violated, in particular by the empowering of RELA volunteers as bounty hunters to round up “illegal immigrants”.

MAY 13:

Declassified Documents on the Malaysian Riots of 1969 Kua Kia Soong

This is the first credible account of the May 13, 1969 racial riots in Malaysia, using recently declassified documents at the Public Records Office, London. These documents provide the only available confidential observations and memoranda by British and other foreign embassy operatives based on their intelligence and contacts with local officials and politicians. Kua Kia Soong argues that the “May 13 incident” was by no means a spontaneous outburst of violence between Malays and Chinese but rather a planned coup d’etat by the ascendant state capitalist class against the Tunku-led aristocracy. He discusses the contradictions of the post-Independence Alliance racial formula and traces the rise of this new Malay capitalist class which has ruled Malaysia since 1969. These documents clearly show who were responsible for the violence and pose the question why the security forces allowed the violence to go on. With this publication, it is hoped that the frequently raised “spectre of May 13” by the Barisan Nasional government will be forever put to rest.

Religion under Siege:

Social Science & Malaysian National Development

Lina Joy, the Islamic State and Freedom of Faith


Edited by Nathaniel Tan and John Lee

Malaysia’s religious diversity is both a treasured element of its nationhood and a powder keg. This book traces recent events in Malaysia that have been lightning rods for contention over the question of freedom of religion. The book deals with the conversion of Lina Joy/Azlina Jailani and the question of whether Malaysia is an Islamic state, as are issues such as the Moorthy burial and the demolition of places of worship. The entire spectrum of opinion and passions with regard to religion in Malaysia has been gathered in one book, ranging from religious fundamentalists and conservatives to liberal progressives and, most importantly, the majority that lies in between. The picture that they paint together reflect the true breadth and width of feelings surrounding the relationship between Malaysians, their faiths, and the faiths of their neighbours.

Before Merdeka and Fifty Years After (Volume 1) This book focuses on the ethnic Chinese contribution to Malaysia. The areas and extent of Chinese contributions are multi-faceted. The present study deals with the more crucial areas that determine the vigour and durability of the Malaysian nation-state. These are identified as the economic, political and cultural aspects of life that combine to make what it is today and that will have a profound influence on its future prospects.

This volume addresses critical issues arising from social transformation in Malaysia during the past half century. The challenge for Malaysia today is to what extent it can move forward by strengthening socio-cultural resources, preserving natural resources, especially the environment, raising the quality of education, enhancing human capital and utilising all talents fairly and judiciously. This is the crux of sustainable human development, of which social development is a major component. The role of social science research to monitor social transformation and promote sustainable human development thus becomes all the more crucial. This volume is an important publication which should be a companion for researchers, policymakers, students, NGOs and the general public concerned with sustainable human development.

Public Policy & marginalized Groups Edited by Phua Kai Lit

Malaysian society has undergone significant transformation. Social change, often directly spurred by new directions in public policy, have been especially noticeable after the unfortunate events of May 1969 and after the ascendancy of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister. Malaysia’s recent economic success has been accompanied by social, cultural and environmental problems as well as those of Marginalized groups. These have given rise to the necessity of managing them through public policy responses, e.g. government action to deal with demographic change such as heavy undocumented immigration of foreigners, significant environmental deterioration, higher crime rates and changing concepts of identity as examplified by debates over Islamisation and the role of women (especially Muslim women) in Malaysian society.

Teachers against Colonialism in Post-war Singapore and Malaya Kua Busan

The education services in Singapore and Malaya after the Japanese Occupation was plagued by low morale, racial discrimination, social inequalities and a deeply segmented and divisive hierarchy, ridden with serious anomalies and wage injustices. This study recounts the struggle by early teacher unionists, led by P.V. Sarma, Yap Thean-chye and H.N. Balhetchet, to form the Singapore Teachers’ Union (STU) in September 1946. Despite strong opposition by the colonial government, the STU succeded in getting teachers in peninsular Malaya to replace their effete teachers’ associations with unions within a year. Teachers unionists soon became part of the anti-colonial struggle, and fought for a politcally free, united, fair, progressive and democratic nation, viewing education as a vital force in its making. An ispirational book dismantling the myth of passivity prevalent in today’s Malaysian education system.

Recollections of past events can be blurred by the passage of time, making them unreliable and/or incomplete in many instances.

Land & Longhouse:

Agrarian Transformation in the Uplands of Sarawak R.A. Cramb

This book examines the role of community, market and state in the historic transformation of upland livelihoods in Southeast Asia. Focusing on the Saribas Iban of Sarawak, the book combines in-depth, generation-long village case studies with an account of changes in land use and tenure at the regional level spanning a century and a half. This analysis demonstrates that, far from being passive victims of globalization, the Iban have been active agents in their own transformation, engaging with both market and state while retaining community values and governance. The book offers a fascinating, empirically rich account of interest to scholars, development practitioners and the general reader alike

When the rights of several groups intersect, whose rights are to be upheld? Who makes the decision to privilege the rights of some people over the other? Is it possible to reach a consensus or compromise where everybody feels their rights have been respected? These are but some of the important questions and contested issues this book seeks to raise for public discourse.

Who Needs An Islamic State? (2nd Ed.)

The Meaning of The Holy Qur’an Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Abdelwahab El-Affendi

A critique of modern Islamic political thought on the ‘state’, this book takes the form of a three-part dialogue with the West, with Islamic tradition and with 20th-century Muslim thinkers. The author discusses the divide between Islamic values and the basic principles which guide Western political thought. He traces the development of Muslim constitutional practice and considers the current debate on the nature of and desirability for an ‘Islamic state’. He separates the problems that are internally derived from by-products of Western culture. Dr El-Affendi argues that if Islamic values were brought to bear internationally, the entrenched dogmas of Western political thought as much as both the tradition-bound and modernist trends of Muslim thinking would have to be revised. A must-read for those interested in the theory of the Islamic State. This second editions contains a Foreword by Professor Ziauddin Sardar, a new Introduction by the author, and two new sections as appendices.

This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah. Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them. And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper. Publisher: IBT 2008: 566 pp ISBN: 9789839154962: RM20.00 / US$7.00 NEW

Pergolakan Pemikiran Islam

Pesan-Pesan Terbesar Al-Quran

Ahmad Wahid

Fazlur Rahman

Ahmad Wahib (1942-1973) wartawan, budayawan dan pemikir Indonesia yang konsisten merakam pergelutan pemikirannya atas meja di sebuah bilik sewa kecil; di dalam beberapa lembar buku tulis lusuh persis diari. Beliau mengikuti secara dekat perdebatan para ilmuwan dan intelektual era Orba. Meninggal dunia digilis sepeda pada Mac malam, ketika pulang kerja. Seorang teman bergegas ke bilik sewa Wahib; menyelamatkan buku-buku catatan yang kemudiannya terjilid sepertimana yang ditatap ini.

Buku ini membincangkan tematema terbesar dalam Quran sebagai sebuah kesatuan, berbeza dengan kebanyakan buku lain yang membincangkan hanya aspek tertentu dari Quran. Pengarang Fazlur Rahman, seorang sarjana Muslim terkemuka di abad moden, banyak menggunakan pendekatan “Quran menjelaskan Quran” untuk membincangkan tematema tentang Tuhan, manusia, masyarakat, alam, kenabian, wahyu dan akhirat. Menerusi pembicaraannya, kita dapat menanggapi isyarat dari pengarang bahawa tema-tema terbesar ini mengatasi topik-topik yang lebih kecil, atau hukum-hukum khusus, yang turut disebutkan dalam Quran. Buku ini merupakan antara karya terbaik dalam bidang kajian Quran dan merupakan salah satu adikarya Falur Rahman yang wajib dibaca oleh setipa mereka yang ingin mendalami pemahaman tentang Kitab induk tersebut.

The first sight of the majestic Ka’abah located in the centre of the mosque involuntarily moved her to tears. It was also in this mosque while performing her tawaf that she had a déjà vu experience. This and many other experiences and encounters during her journey are vividly recalled, accompanied by photographs throughout the book. More like a journal, the book also serves as a valuable guide to those who are planning to visit the Holy Land; as for others, it offers an insight into the Muslim state of mind.

Moses & Pharaoh in The Bible, Qur’an & History

Islam in Southest Asia Hussin Mutalib

Maurice Bucaille

The holy scriptures of the three Abrahamic religions share some of the main aspects of historical events which happened after Prophet Abraham. One topic which reveals many such shared aspects is the story of Moses who rose up against the despotic Pharaoh. The events during the period are important to the Muslims, Jews and Christians, and in many cases form the basis of the history and rituals of the three religions. This work is a comparative study of the Biblical and Qur’anic narrations of the story of Moses and Pharaoh. In doing so, Dr Maurice Bucaille, author of the bestselling 1976 treatise, The Bible, The Qur’an and Science, carefully avoids theoretical and speculative views in an attempt to cope only with facts.

Islam, Islamization & Democratization:

A Young Muslim’s Guide to the Modern World

Challenges and Prospects

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Norani Othman

Dominant patterns of Islamic thought and the widely prevailing practices of Muslim governance and statehood, as well as popular religious education and training, do not inspire any great confidence in the inclination or sensitivity of most mainstream Muslims and the dominant institutions of contemporary Islamic states and societies toward the prerequisites and processes of democratization. These include the pursuit of, and achieving of, an internal or Muslim cultural and intellectual renewal, education reform particularly religious schools and higher education, and a basic shift in the Muslim worldview enabling Muslim to come to terms with their own civilizational heritage. In this rethinking and democratic renovation of Islamic civilization Muslim women and the movements of Islamic feminism have an important role to play. Publisher: IKMAS, UKM 2007: 37 pp ISBN: 9789834344313: RM10.00 / US$4.00

The philosophical, cultural, political, economic and social impact of the domination of the modern West continues in one way or another through the width and breadth of the Muslim world, threatening not only the traditional institutions of Islamic society, but Islamic religion itself. Many are alienated from Islam as a result of the crushing influence of alien ideologies, whilst others react mostly with emotional outbursts and occasional violence. This book, written by one of contemporary Islamic scholarship’s best minds, addresses primarily Muslim youths in a language which is fairly simple rather than being excessively scholarly, to be able to respond to the challenges posed by the modern world and its current ideologies.

The Counsel

Originally written in Arabic, this little work has remained unknown to the English-language reader. A collection of sayings and admonitions by Prophet Muhammad, other prophets of Islam, companions and great scholars of Islam, this book serves as an added reminder to the reader of his/her responsibilities as a Muslim. Each chapter is arranged in such a way that the number of the chapter determines how many sentences are given in the paragraphs.

This is a compilation of the author’s articles which appeared in his column “First Things First” in Muslim current affairs magazine Impact International. Covering a wide spectrum of Islamic topics of contemporary relevance, they aim at providing reflection, exposition, and inspiration. Inspired by renowned scholars such as Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, Taqi Usmani, among others, the author makes the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet as a guide to observe contemporary issues facing Muslims, both individually and collectively as an Ummah.

European Integration:

Indonesian Syariah:

J Oerstroem Moeller

M. B. Hooker

A clear guide to current EU institutions, practices, and policies, this is also an informed insider’s account of how they have emerged in their present form, with clues on future change. The mixture of analysis and history, description and prescription, works well, because the author has had a ringside seat, but retains a cool Nordic non-partisan detachment. The hints he offers to those, for example in Asia, considering following a similar path to regional integration, represent the distilled wisdom of a career in balancing economic benefits and national sensitivities. As his story shows, it can be done. - Lord Kerr, Former Head of the UK Diplomatic Service, now Chairman of Imperial College, London and Deputy Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell.

The creation of a national school of Islamic law in Indonesia has been on the legal agenda for the past fifty years. This book is a summary of what has been achieved. The material shows us a complex range of references for syariah. These include the formal structures of a “new fiqh”, philosophies of law, transmissions of syariah through tertiary curricula and the Friday sermon in mosques, a bureaucratic form for conducting the Hajj, and contemporary debates on syariah values as expressions of public morality. Together these references indicate just how elusive the meaning of syariah has become in contemporary Indonesia.

Dr. Maung Maung:

Integrating Economies in Southest Asia

Gentleman, Scholar, Patriot

Ikuo Kuroiwa & Toh Mun Heng

Robert H. Taylor

Dr Maung Maung (1925-94) was a man of many parts: scholar, soldier, nationalist, internationalist, parliamentarian, and public servant. His life spanned seven decades of political, economic and social turbulence in the country he loved and served, Myanmar. A pioneer amongst post-colonial journalists in Southeast Asia, he was equally at home in the libraries and seminars of universities in the United States, Europe and Australia during the Cold War. As a jurist, Dr Maung Maung knew the law must remain relevant to changing societal requirements.

In this book, the focus is on how developing economies in Southeast Asia ride on the wave of globalization that brings about benefits and economic growth with expanding trade and investment linkages. The central concept used in this study is production networks and industrial clusters. With examples from Indonesia and Malaysia (electronics industry), Singapore (biomedical science industry), and Thailand (automotive industry), the book explains how production networks and industrial clusters have played crucial roles in their industrial development.

Creating “Greater Malaysia”:

Thai Capital After The 1997 Crisis

Tan Tai Yong

Pasuk Phongpaichit & Chris Baker

This book offers an in-depth and detailed analysis of the political processes that led to formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. It argues that the Malaysia that came into being following the amalgamation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo was a political creation whose only rationale was that it served a convergence of political and economic expediency for the departing colonial power, the Malayan leadership and the ruling party of self-governing Singapore.

The 1997 crisis was not only a massive shock but also a major turning point for Asian economies. In Thailand, it marked the end of an era when the economy was powered by local entrepreneurship. Around a quarter of major business groups were wrecked. Foreign capital poured in. The engine of growth is now an export economy dominated by multinationals, while domestic capital is confined to service and rentier activities. This book also discusses the political consequences and policy implications of this major change, and questions whether domestic capital in countries like Thailand has any future in a globalized world economy.

This study analyses the various types and stages of conflict that have been experienced by diverse groups and generations of Karen over the six decades of armed conflict between the Karen National Union (KNU) and successive Burmese governments. Instead of focusing on those who are internally displaced, those in the refugee camps on the ThaiBurma border or living abroad, or those in the KNU, it places particular emphasis on the “other” Karen, or the majority segment of the Karen population living inside Burma, a population that has hitherto received little scholarly and journalistic attention. It also assesses the Karen people’s varied attitudes toward a number of political organizations that claim to represent their interests, toward successive Burmese military regimes, and toward the political issues that led to the original divide between “accommodators” and “rebels.”

Ageing in Southest & East Asia:

Regional Outlook Forum 2008:

Lee Hock Guan

Institute of Southest Asian Studies Singapore

Southeast and East Asian countries are undergoing varying stages of population ageing. The social, economic and political implications of population ageing will be enormous, and because of the fast speed of ageing in the region, the countries cannot afford the luxury of time for the gradual evolution of social and structural support systems and networks for the older population. The essays in this volume critically examine national ageing policies and programmes, the sustainability of existing pension systems, housing and living arrangements, inter-generational transfer, and aspects of quality of life of the elderly population. While the findings show that most Southeast Asian countries have started to formulate and implement national ageing policies, they also indicate that the existing policies are by and large inadequate and underdeveloped in serving the needs of the older population and indeed much more must be done to prepare for the future.

The Regional Outlook Forum 2008: Summary Report provides the geostrategic outlook for Asia in the coming year. It examines the rise of China, India, and the role of the United States in order to understand how the power game in Asia will play out. The Report also focuses on Southeast Asia as the ASEAN Charter seeks to institutionalize regionalism, while the forces of environmentalism, economic integration and politicalreligious conflict underpin the politics of the region.

While this strategy proved effective when developmental growth was high during the first.

Agenda for the East Asia Summit

The Role of the Special Branch in the Malayan Emergency

Edited by Nagesh Kumar, K Kesavapany, Yao Chaocheng

Leon Comber

The Malayan Emergency lasted from 1948 to 1960. During these tumultuous years, following so soon after the Japanese surrender at the end of the Second World War, the whole country was once more turned upside down. Dr Comber analyses the pivotal role of the Malayan Police’s Special Branch, in defeating the communist uprising.

One of the most important developments of the past decade has been the emergence of Asia as the most dynamic region of the world with the rise of China and India as engines of growth, the recovery of Japan from a decade-old recession, and the emergence of Asian middle class. Recognizing the potential of regional cooperation over the past decade ASEAN countries are now building a complex web of free trade arrangements. Against that backdrop, leading experts of the region in their contributions to this volume examine the case for broader regionalism in Asia, its potential, challenges, and possible approaches.

Modernity & Re-enchantment:

Religion in Post-revolutionary Vietnam

ASEAN

edited by Philip Taylor

Rodolfo C Severino

Written by one of ASEAN’s exSecretary Generals, this is an essential, and accessible, guide to the labyrinthine moves of ASEAN since its founding in 1967. It has successfully engaged the world's major powers, in East Asia and beyond. ASEAN has taken steps to integrate the regional economy as an important means of cooperatively improving the region's competitiveness, attracting investments, generating jobs, raising incomes, and lowering costs and prices. ASEAN has also formed networks for dealing with regional problems like communicable diseases, environmental degradation, and transnational crime.

The richness and vibrancy of Vietnamese spirituality are vividly portrayed in these twelve essays that shed light on the remarkable reflorescence of religion in this communist country. Ancestor worship, mediumship, sacrifies, and communal rituals have not only survived Vietnam’s reintegration into the capitalist world; they are intrinsic to the dramatic reshaping of its contemporary social and cultural life. Transnational Buddhism and Christianity challenge the political status quo as they answer conflicting aspirations for enlightenment, justice, national development and cultural identity. Making conceptual contributions to anthropology and comparative religion, this book provides insights fromm post-revolutionary Vietnam into the diverse passages to re-enchantment in the modern world.

Divinity and Diversity:

A Hindu Revitalization Movement in Malaysia

Legacies of World War II in South and East Asia

Alexandra Kent

edited by David Koh Wee Hock

This book looks closely at the Malaysian following of the contemporary Indian godman, Sathya Sai Baba, a neo-Hindu guru famed for his miracle-working. The “911” attacks on the United States and subsequent “war on terrorism” have brought a discussion of transnational “religious” networks onto centrestage. While the Sai Baba movement has no militaristic ideology, it may ---- like any other such movement ---- ultimately call into question the sovereignty of the nation state. Today, then, issues of faith and devotion are more urgent than ever in the interfaces between diverse world-views, not only at local and national levels but, increasingly, at the global level as well.

Sixty years after the end of World War II, the political and social fallout from the War is alive and divisive, as scholars in this volume show. One example is how former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine prevented China, Japan and South Korea from sitting down together to talk about Northeast Asian integration, and wider Asian integration. Another example is the question of comfort women. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s statement—that there is no evidence that Japan’s government or army forced women to work in military brothels during the War—appeared to go back on a 1993 apology for the comfort women. How such issues of history are dealt with by countries of this region has an effect on contemporary relations among the major powers contending for leadership in East Asia.

The Indonesian Parliament and Democratization Patrick Ziegenhain

Democratization in Indonesia has altered the political decisionmaking processes in many ways. It has also brought about tremendous change to the role of the Indonesian parliament in the country’s political system. Once characterized as a powerless rubber stamp, the parliament has developed into a comprehensive and more representative body able to fulfil its functions more adequately. The author analyses the parliament’s contribution towards the process of democratization. Thus, this book contributes not only to research on the Indonesian democratization process, but also to the comparative research on parliaments in transition processes in general.

Shari’a & Constitutional Reform in Indonesia Nadirsyah Hosen

This book focuses on constitutional reform in Indonesia (1999-- 2002) from the perspective of shari’a. Since the end of Soeharto’s New Order government in 1998, Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, has amended the 1945 Constitution four times. Soeharto’s departure also opened the way for several Muslim groups and political parties to propose the introduction of shari’a into the Constitution. This book poses the crucial question implicit in the amendments to the 1945 Constitution: can shari’a and democratic constitutionalism be fused without compromising on human rights, the rule of law, and religious liberty? The contributions of Islamic political parties in Indonesia to the process and the outcome of the amendments, by adopting a substantive shari’a approach, reflect the ability to deal with a modern Constitution without abandoning the principles and the objectives of shari’a.

Language, Nation and Development in Southeast Asia

Whither the Philippines in the 21st Century?

Edited by Lee Hock Guan and Leo Suryadinata

Edited by Rodolfo C Severino, Lorraine Carlos Salazar

Language policies in Southeast Asia have been shaped by nationbuilding and political and economic forces. In the immediate postcolonial years, new Southeast Asian nations endeavoured to coopt, ignore or dissolve the troubling multitudes of ethnic identities within their borders by imposing national languages and veritable monolingualism. In recent years, national language policies have been increasingly influenced by pragmatism: many Southeast Asian states have become less insistent on promoting monolingualism in recognition of the need for populations which are bilingual in the major languages of commerce, especially English and Chinese.

Reassessing the fascinating and puzzling “Philippines conundrum” from various angles, the analyses contribute sharp and fresh insights into a variety of areas including: the presidency and political parties; constitutional change and federalism; the roles of the military, religion, and the media in politics; the conflict in Mindanao; the communist insurgency; macroeconomic developments, issues, and trends; the investment climate and business opportunities; poverty, unemployment, and income inequality; migration and remittances; and the Philippine development record in comparative perspective.

An evaluation of the successes and drawbacks of language policies in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar, this book is an invaluable primer on this linguistically complex region and a resource for scholars, policy-makers, and civil society activists.

God Dies by the Nile Nawal El Saadawi

Nawal el Saadawi’s classic tale attempts to square Islam with a society in which women are respected as equals is as relevant today as ever. ‘People have become corrupt everywhere. You can search in vain for Islam, or a devout Muslim. They no longer exist.’

This powerful account of the oppression of women in the Muslim world remains as shocking today as when it was first published, more than a quarter of a century ago. Nawal El Saadawi writes out of a powerful sense of the violence and injustice which permeated her society. Her experiences working as a doctor in villages around Egypt, witnessing prostitution, honour killings and sexual abuse, including female circumcision, drove her to give voice to this suffering. She goes on explore the causes of the situation through a discussion of the historical role of Arab women in religion and literature. Saadawi argues that the veil, polygamy and legal inequality are incompatible with the essence of Islam or any human faith. This edition, complete with a new foreword, lays claim to The Hidden Face of Eve’s status as a classic of modern Arab writing.

Exploited:

Afghan Women:

Toby Shelley

Elaheh Rostami-Povey

Migrant Labour in the New Global Economy From cleaning to construction, from agriculture to domestic work, every day migrant labourers are exploited and enslaved. Extra hours are squeezed out of Polish food packers, and trafficked African children are used for forced labour. Low wages are used to drive down prices from the oil industry to airport services.

33

Identity and Invasion Through years of Taliban oppression, during the US-led invasion and the current insurgency, women in Afghanistan have played a hugely symbolic role.

In this book, Toby Shelley shows that current unprecedented flows of migrant workers are a direct result of economic liberalization. The appalling conditions and legal abuses which confront these workers are not a premodern aberration, but an integral part of the global economy. Shelley argues that even governments, keen to protect big business, are complicit in this exploitation; their ‘law and order’ approach on immigration being part of this complicity. Based on interviews and investigations with workers, unionists and activists, Exploited is a powerful and shocking read.

This book looks at how women have fought repression and challenged stereotypes, both within Afghanistan and in diasporas in Iran, Pakistan, the US and the UK. Looking at issues from violence under the Taliban and the impact of 9/11 to the role of NGOs and the growth in the opium economy, Rostami-Povey gets behind the media hype and presents a vibrant and diverse picture of these women’s lives. The future of women’s rights in Afghanistan, she argues, depends not only on overcoming local male domination, but also on challenging imperial domination and blurring the growing divide between the West and the Muslim world. Ultimately, these global dynamics may pose a greater threat to the freedom and autonomy of women in Afghanistan and throughout the world.



Rebuilding the Left

Sexualities

Marta Harnecker

Nivedita Menon

Based on a lifetime’s experience in politics, this book is a critique of social democratic realpolitik. It studies the challenges faced by the left now, and suggests ways to move forward to build a different world. The author looks to the social experiments being carried out in Latin America today: they are essentially socialist, democratic projects in which the people are the driving force. Rebuilding the Left offers real hope to those who believe that an alternative to capitalism is necessary and possible.

While sexual violence is an area that is well mapped by feminist scholarship, this volume will focus on transgressive and/or marginalized sexualities. It will bring together writings on India that have highlighted the transgression of norms—of heterosexuality, of feminine and masculine behaviour, of recognizably gendered bodies, that declare ungoverned desire to be illegitimate. Also included is a section of select documents from different sexuality movements in India. This book is part of the series of Contemporary Indian Feminism.

Building Feminist Movements and Organizations:

On the Move:

The Caribbean since 1989

Global Perspectives

Alejandra Bronfman

Edited by Lydia Alpzar

The Caribbean stands out in the popular imagination as a ‘place without history’, a place which has somehow eluded modernity. Haiti is envisioned as being trapped in an endless cycle of violence and instability, Cuba as a 1950s time warp, Jamaicans as ganja-smoking Rastafarians, while numerous pristine, anonymous islands are simply peaceful idylls. The notion of ‘getting away from it all’ lures countless visitors, offering the possibility of total disconnect for the world-weary.

Women’s organizations and movements must be stronger than ever to be able to hold the line and continue moving forward the women’s rights agenda. The many threats to women’s rights—armed conflicts, the advance of HIV/ AIDS, rising fundamentalisms and scarce resources for research— make a study of the work and internal dynamics of women’s and feminist organizations and movements essential in order to meet these challenges effectively. Building Feminist Movements is an international collection of essays and case studies which explores diverse ways in which women and feminist organizations and movements are organizing and it also analyses the important lessons learned in the process.

This work looks at how contemporary global economic policies are made: by which institutions, under what ideologies, and how they are enforced. The author reveals the central roles played by organizations such as the IMF and the World Bank in supervising the livelihoods of over 2.5 billion people. He shows that neoliberal economic policy is enforced by a few thousand experts in the North and has failed to deliver tolerable living conditions for the poor. The conclusion makes a positive contribution by exploring policy alternatives that point the way forward. Publisher: Zed Books 2007: 248 pp ISBN: 9781842777114: RM115.00 / US$42.00

The Enemy of Nature Joel Kovel

We live in and from nature, but the way we have evolved of doing this is about to destroy us. Capitalism and its by-products—imperialism, war, neoliberal globalization, racism, poverty and the destruction of community—are all playing a part in the destruction of our ecosystem. Only now are we beginning to realise the depth of the crisis and the kind of transformation which will have to occur to ensure our survival. This second, thoroughly updated, edition of The Enemy of Nature speaks to this new environmental awareness. Joel Kovel argues against claims that we can achieve a better environment through the current Western ‘way of being’. By suggesting a radical new way forward, a new kind of ‘ecosocialism’, Joel Kovel offers real hope and vision for a more sustainable future.

Feminisms in Development:

From Where We Stand:

Contradictions, Contestations and Challenges

War, Women’s Activism and Feminist Analysis Cynthia Cockburn

Edited by Andrea Cornwall and Elizabeth Harrison

This collection of essays by leading feminist thinkers from North and South constitutes a major new attempt to reposition feminism within development studies. Feminism’s emphasis on social transformation makes it fundamental to development studies. Yet the relationship between the two disciplines has frequently been a troubled one. At present, the way in which many development institutions function often undermines feminist intent through bureaucratic structures and unequal power quotients. Moreover, the seeming intractability of inequalities and injustice in developing countries have presented feminists with some enormous challenges. Confronting the enormous challenges for feminisms in development studies, this book provides real hope for dialogue and exchange between feminisms and development.

Gender, Race and War in Imperial Democracy Zillah Eisenstein

In this book, Zillah Eisenstein continues her unforgiving indictment of neoliberal imperial politics. She charts its most recent militarist and masculinist configurations through discussions of the Afghan and Iraq wars, violations at Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the 2004 US Presidential election, and Hurricane Katrina. She warns that women’s rights rhetoric is being manipulated, particularly by Condoleeza Rice and other women in the Bush administration, as a ploy for global dominance and a misogynistic capture of democratic discourse. However, Eisenstein also believes that the plural and diverse lives of women will lay the basis for an assault on these fascistic elements. This new politics will both confound and clarify feminisms, and reconfigure democracy across the globe.

Why do so many women organize against militarism and war? And why, very often, do they choose to do so in women-only groups? This original study, the product of 80,000 miles of travel by the author over a two-year period, examines women‘s activism against wars as far apart as Sierra Leone, Colombia and India. It shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Israel refusing enmity, and cooperating for peace. It describes transnational networks of women opposing US and Western European militarism and the so-called ‘war on terror‘. Women are often motivated by adverse experiences in the male-led anti-war movements, preferring to choose different methods of protest and remain in control of their own actions. But like the mainstream movements, women‘s groups differ. Publisher: Zed Books 2007: 286 pp ISBN: 9781842778210: RM110.00 / US$40.00

China in Africa Chris Alden

Sexual Decoys:


35

Nowhere in the world is China’s rapid rise to power more evident than in Africa. From multi-billion dollar investments in oil and minerals to the influx of thousands of merchants, labourers and cheap consumer goods, China’s economic and political reach is redefining Africa’s traditional ties with the international community. This book investigates the emerging relationship between China and Africa to determine whether this engagement will be that of a development partner, economic competitor or new hegemon. Alden argues that in order to understand Chinese involvement on the continent, we need to recognize the range of economic, diplomatic and security rationales behind Beijing’s Africa policy as well as the response of African elites to China’s entreaties. Only then can the new challenges and opportunities for Africa and the West be accurately assessed. Publisher: Zed Books 2007: 157 pp ISBN: 9781842778647: RM70.00 / US$26.00

Global Political Parties

Where Now for Palestine?

Katarina Sehm Patomki and Marko Ulvila

Political space seems to be shrinking, yet the term ‘globalization’ is seldom mentioned in connection with political parties. This book asks whether the time is now ripe for global political parties. Though global civil society is a buzzword, activists seem to reject the idea of global political parties as irrelevant. Yet political parties remain the formal basis for government both nationally and in the current international system. Looking to the future, will existing political parties democratize international governance, or will new political parties emerge to fill this vacuum? Is this a role that the World Social Forum can play? Featuring contributions from major figures from Samir Amin to Jan Aart Scholte, Global Political Parties is an exciting analysis of what the globalization of party politics would mean for the nation state, global governance and democracy worldwide.

This collection critically revisits the concept of the ‘two-state solution’ and maps the effects of local and global political changes on both Palestinian people and politics. The authors discuss the changing face of Fateh, Israeli perceptions of Palestine, and the influence of the Palestinian diaspora. The book also the analyzes the environmental destruction of Gaza and West bank, the economic viability of a Palestinian state and the impact of US foreign policy in the region. This authoritative and up-to-date guide to the impasse facing the region is required reading for anyone wishing to understand a conflict entrenched at the heart of global politics.

Spaces For Change?

The Bible and Zionism:

Invented Traditions, Archaeology and PostColonialism in Palestine-Israel Nur Masalha

Does the Bible justify Zionism? Since the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, Torah and tank have been inseparable, resulting in the forced expulsion and subjugation of millions of indigenous Palestinians. Nur Masalha‘s groundbreaking new book traces Zionism’s evolution from a European secular settler movement in the late 19th century to the messianic faith it has become today. Analysing Zionism’s multiple inventions of tradition, he shows how the Bible and Biblical archaeology have been used by many Christian and Jewish Zionists as ‘title deeds’ for the land of Palestine, justifying an apartheid system and legitimising war crime. With Edward Said, Masalha argues that a new politics of peace can only be developed through the advocacy of a single, democratic state, which would replace religious zealotry with secular equality.

The Politics of Citizen Participation in New Democratic Arenas Edited by Andrea Cornwall

This book studies one of the greatest challenges of our age: building democratic polities where all can realize their rights and claim substantive citizenship. In recent years, innovations in governance have created a plethora of new democratic spaces in many countries. Yet there remains a gap between the intention to institutionalize participation and the reality of exclusion of poorer and marginalized citizens. Through case studies of a diversity of institutions—hospital facility boards in South Africa, a national-level deliberative process in Canada, sectoral management councils and community groups in Brazil, India, Mexico and Bangladesh, budgeting processes in Argentina, NGO-created forums in Angola and Bangladesh, community forums in the UK, and new intermediary spaces created by social movements in South Africa—contributors examine how the democratic potential of these new spaces might be enhanced.

Sex at the Margins:

Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry

Participation:

The New Tyranny? Edited by Bill Cooke and Uma Kothari

Laura Maria Agustín

Laura Agustín makes a passionate case against these stereotypes, arguing that the label ‘trafficked’ does not accurately describe migrants’ lives and that the ‘rescue industry’ disempowers them. Based on extensive research amongst migrants who sell sex and social helpers, Sex at the Margins provides a radically different analysis. Frequently, says Agustín, migrants make rational choices to travel and work in the sex industry. Although they are treated like a marginalised group they form part of the dynamic global economy. Both powerful and controversial, this book is essential reading for all those who want to understand the increasingly important relationship between sex markets, migration and the desire for social justice. This groundbreaking book explodes several myths: that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work; that migrants who sell sex are passive victims; and that the multitude of people out to save them are without self-interest.

The State of Resistance:

Popular Struggles in the Global South Francois Polet

This indispensable book offers a panorama of social resistances to neoliberal globalization in the South. Writers and activists from forty different countries or regions offer snapshots of the latest mobilizations, from the antiprivatization groups in South Africa and the anti-WTO campaign of peasants in India, to the indigenous movement behind Evo Morales in Bolivia. The book focuses on a range of diverse popular struggles that impact on democratic and development process, yet receive little public attention or are caricatured by mainstream media. It reveals collective tensions throughout those societies whose material bases have been profoundly shaken by a series of adjustments dictated by the canons of the globalized economy. It is an essential guide to the latest developments in social movements. Edited by Francois Polet of the Tricontinental Centre, it includes contributions from key activists and scholars such as Vinod Raina, Michel Warschawski, Maristella Svampa and Mahaman Tidjani.

Who Are We?

What Do We Do?

Gerakbudaya (GB) was founded in 1998 and is currently based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Gerakbudaya distributes books that embody social awareness, critical and alternative perspectives, and the hidden histories of Malaysia, Southeast Asia and the wider world we live in.

GB titles are found in bookshops large and small throughout Malaysia and in Singapore, in all good chain bookstores as well as independent bookshops and campus bookstores. In an era where books and publishing are becoming endangered species, GB is dedicated to the idea that books really matter and that they play a key role in the building of a creative, thoughtful, useful and progressive life.

We are the sole distributor for the alternative London-based publishing house, Zedbooks Publications (Zed) in Malaysia. GB also distributes books by many important Malaysian institutes and international NGOs: • Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore (ISEAS) • Third World Network (TWN) • Forum • INSAN • Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Press • Perak Academy Press • University Putra of Malaysia (UPM) Press • International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) • Institut Kajian Dasar (IKD) • The Other Press (TOP) • Islamic Book Trust (IBT) • Pesticides Action Network—Asia Pacific (PANAP) • Centre for Orang Asli Concerns (COAC) • Social Science Association of Malaysia (PSSM) • Suaram Komunikasi (SUARAM) • Sisters in Islam (SIS)

Books bring to light or keep focus on issues silenced, forgotten or deemed too boring by today’s mass media and culture of apathy, shopping and forgetting. GB is dedicated to circulating timely and important books, breaking down artificial barriers between writers/thinkers in institutions and everyone else, and generating informed discussions of important issues in our lives by providing different views and fresh insights. We at GB are also working to expand links between Malaysian and regional and international publishers, thus making nonmainstream writers more accessible to a local audience and vice versa.
