This book explores issues shaping and defining modern Bruneian
identity. It addresses the research gap regarding Brunei studies in
terms of the language, literature, and culture of Brunei which,
with its bilingual education, is uniquely positioned at the
intersection of the Malay and western worlds. The book
analyses the linguistic, literary, and cultural modes that provide
the backdrop for modern-day instantiations of local identity, as
expressed through printed and online materials, film, art, and
social practices. It compares Brunei English and Brunei Malay in
the context of the literature and culture of Brunei. Readers will
find it useful as an essential resource for academic scholars,
university students, and others interested in the study of Brunei
Darussalam's language, literature, and culture. It provides
critical insights from an insiders' perspective into the local
identity of the culturally diverse Bruneian society.
