| Summary: | Independent book publishing in Malaysia has presented typically younger readers with
a popular platform for connecting with familiar realities and lived social situations. At
the same time, there is resistance to the success of these “indie books” on political,
economic, and social fronts by groups that are entrenched in the normative order. At
the titular level, Muhammad Atiullah Othman, Nadarajan Thambu, and Siti
Noranizahhafizah Boyman’s study, “Elemen dalam Buku Indie: Satu Kajian Grounded
Theory Terhadap Mahasiswa Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris,” appears to offer a case
study on the perceptions of university students toward the various elements found
within some indie books. Upon closer examination, however, their study largely ignores
student responses and criticizes the entire industry for the perceived and projected
negative impact it will have on the nation. The disconnect between the data and their
claims is compounded by the authors’ unsupported and highly subjective moral
judgments, despite multiple instances of their own unethical academic writing
practices. |
