Autofiction, Colonial Massacres and the Politics of Memory by Hywel Dix

“…Drawing on research into the relationship between writing and forms of public commemoration, the article analyses Fred D’Aguiar’s portrayal of the killing of African slaves thrown overboard the slave ship Zong in 1781 in Feeding the Ghosts (1997); Kamila Shamsie’s depiction of the massacre of demonstrators protesting against colonial rule in India in Peshawar in 1930 in A God in Every Stone (2014); and Jackie Kay’s homage to the sinking of the SS Mendi, a ship carrying southern African non-combatant personnel to assist in the British effort in World War One in “Lament for the Mendi Men” (2011).

Emergency in Malaya 1948-1960 - What was the turning point?: The case of election in Selangor by Paidi, Zulhilmi

“…However, this view is debatable as it is believed by the Malays now that the British action was taken deliberately to fulfil the idea of colonialism.When the British claimed the need to retain the Malay status quo, they actually wanted to leave the Malays behind economically.At the same time, the foundation of a new plural society where previously a single community had dominated was a way to hold back any Malays struggle against the colonial power.1 It was clear the new ethnic diversity created tensions that were exacerbated by economic and political inequalities.This environment was conducive to the emergence of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).2 The Communists sought to capitalise on the unrest, in order to fulfil their aim of creating a Communist Republic of Malaya.They terrorised the country and people of Malaya for twelve disastrous years, to achieve their great ambitions.It became the Communist insurrection which was one of the most important events in the history of Malaya under the British colonial rule.The insurrection was one of the toughest threats the British imperial power had ever faced in Malaya since 1824, when they officially started their colonisation of the Malay Peninsula.The insurrection, which resulted in Emergency rule, was the first British communist struggle after the end of the Second World War.One of the Malay states which experienced a severe threat from the MCP was the State of Selangor.Selangor, together with Pahang, Perak, Johor and Negeri Sembilan, were among the worst affected places during the Emergency.…”
