This book consists of nine chapters, each an in-depth case study
into a specific non-mainstream or marginalized online community in
Malaysia. The authors come from diverse backgrounds to talk about
how new media can both assist and hinder maligned minorities,
ignored ethnicities or the often attacked migrants in their day to
day lives. The book makes a strong contribution to Malaysian
studies which highlights the other and represents minority
viewpoints to challenge the belief that Malaysia's online space is
monolithic and limited to several mainstream discourses in
Malaysian scholarship.
Sabah's 2020 election was Malaysia's pandemic election. While
attention has centred on the impact the election had on the
increase of COVID-19, this collection brings together scholars,
journalists and social scientists who were on the ground on Sabah
to analyse what happened, why, and the broader implications of the
outcome for Sabah and Malaysian politics. The book is the first
in-depth study of a Sabah election. It is multidisciplinary, with
authors from different perspectives, and the majority of the
authors are from Sabah. Traditional explanations prioritize the
federal-state relationship in shaping Sabah politics. This
collection challenges this paradigm, suggesting that politics in
Sabah should be better understood as a reflection of conditions
within Sabah-as Sabahans struggle to navigate and survive on
Malaysia's periphery.
