Memory and Nation-Building: World War II in Malaysian Literature by Vandana Saxe

Description: Memory and Nation-Building by Vandana Saxena Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Memory and Nation-building turns to the contemporary images of World War II in Malaysian literature to explore the way the collective memories of the conflict embody the search for a historical narrative that can accommodate the cultural and ethnic diversity of the country. Publisher Description Nations are built by narrating their past. Threads of common memories weave the fabric of the national culture, integrating the heterogenous communities into the idea of a single nation. In multicultural societies, the process is a messy one. Different communities remember the past from perspectives that often clash with each other. Multiple memories of a multicultural nation challenge the idea of a singular national identity and call for multiple forms of belonging. Memory and Nation-Building explores the contemporary images of World War II in Malaysian literature and the continuing significance of the conflict in the collective memory and nation-building in Malaysia. Given the multicultural nature of the nation, the War memories of Malaysia are multiple and often contradictory. In the contemporary Malaysian literature, these memories embody the search for a historical narrative that would accommodate the cultural and ethnic diversity of the country.
