Abstract

Malaysia is a diverse country and Malay literature is a unique literature with its own irreducible national tones that can be composed of works from multiple perspectives. However, there is some justification for the existence of non-Malay literature, which can also exist as a unique literature that enriches Malaysian literature. This study selected several distinguishing works to discuss this phenomenon in detail: Swordfish+Concubine (2018), The Girl and The Ghost (2020), We, the Survivors (2010) and Without Anchovies (2019). It aims to explore the cultural milieu that is biased against Malay literature as well as its reflection to Malay culture and society. Thus, it could form a complement to Malay literature and an exploration of social phenomena.
