Malaysian marginalized literature
First of all, thank you Ms Dzeelfa for all your comments-I know you are a very busy woman!!In the Marginalized Literature post you commented about Malaysian marginalized literature. Honestly,I am not very familiar with Malaysian English literary works. I hope that i haven't lost interest in reading story books. I used to have collection of Nancy Drew, Francine Pascal and Christopher Pike's books during my school days, but they weren't returned back to me everytime I lend them to someone. So after that I have stopped buying books, and since then I realized that I haven't read as much as I used to. Back to marginalized literature in our country, the only writer that I am familiar with is Muhamamad Haji Salleh, and we know that Malaysian do not have the habit of reading. Perhaps in Bahasa Melayu, the marginalized literature is more voiced compared to the Malaysian English literature. But I am not familiar with any of the Malaysian minority ethnic groups literary works. I would love to read their work. They are often discriminated, and I would like to know how they express themselves in a literary work.If you knew any of their works, do let me know!
