Strangers in the Land of their Birth: Concepts of Social Integration in Portrayals of the Malay in Contemporary Malaysian Novels in English
Abstract
This paper interrogates the positioning of MLE writers as strangers in the land of their birth by taking a sociology-based (as opposed to an ideology-based or ethnocentric) approach to the study of how Malays and the Malay world are portrayed in MLE novels. This approach is part of a larger research project aimed at developing a new, sociology-based paradigm for MLE studies.
