Discourses, Agency and Identity in Malaysia
This book seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually, in examining discourses of identity formation and the agency of critical social practices in Malaysia.

The Primordial Modernity of Malay Nationality
Humairah and Kamaludeen examine contemporary Malay national identity in Singapore and Malaysia through the lens of ‘primordial modernity’, taking on a comparative transnational perspective. How do Malays in Singapore and Malaysia conceptualise and negotiate their ethnic identity vis-à-vis the state’s construction of Malay national identity? Humairah and Kamaludeen employ discourse analyses of both elite and mass texts that include newspaper editorials, school textbooks, political speeches, novels, movies, and letters in local newspapers. Extending current notions of Malay identity, the authors offer a comprehensive overview of Malay identity that takes into consideration both primordial dimensions and the more modern aspects such as their cosmopolitan sensibilities and their approach to social mobility. A valuable resource for scholars of Southeast Asian culture and society, as well as Sociologists looking at wider issues of ethnic and national identity.

AJAIB
Buku pertama dalam trilogi AJAIB. “Cikgu, masalah saya, saya boleh nampak hantu. Cikgu yakin cikgu boleh tolong saya?” Hidup ni gelap – Walaupun aku dapat melihat lebih daripada manusia lain. Tapi tanpa kegelapan tu, aku tak mungkin nampak bintang yang bercahaya… Selain kita ada ‘mereka’ – yang kebanyakan kita tak nampak. Dalam kita ada ‘itu’ – yang kita simpan sendiri. Nama aku Izaq. Dan ini kisah kami, budak-budak berumur 12 tahun yang terperangkap dalam masalah orang dewasa: ‘mereka’, ‘itu’, dan sedikit yang AJAIB. (Buku Fixi)
AWAN
Buku kedua dalam trilogi AJAIB. Budak ajaib - aku suka panggil Izaq begitu sebab dia ada deria keenam. Dia pernah cakap yang dia bagaikan bintang, aku pula bagaikan awan, kami bersahabat baik, kawan rapat, BFF - labelkan apa saja tentang bersahabatan kami (asalkan bukan gay couple). Namun siapa yang sangka, bintang akan berhenti dari bersinar, sedangkan awan terpaksa berarak lalu membelah waktu? Disebabkan deria specialnya itu, dia terpaksa mengharungi perjalanan hidup yang matang pada usia yang masih muda. Dia perlu kuat untuk melawan segala yang mengganggunya, lebih-lebih lagi apabila entiti itu kerap hadir mengingatkannya supaya 'jangan percaya'. Tapi... jangan percaya kepada siapa? (Buku Fixi)
