What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You - The Annexe Lectures Vol 1

by Farish A. Noor
What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You - The Annexe Lectures Vol 1
What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You - The Annexe Lectures Vol 1

Malaysian history unveiled—unorthodox, provocative insights.

If you're thirsty for a less sanitized version of Malaysian history, "What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You" is a refreshing dive into the untold narratives that shaped the nation. Farish A. Noor, a distinctly engaging intellectual, doesn't shy away from controversial topics, offering you a read that's as enlightening as it is titillating. The poignant sepia-toned photographs accompanying the text will transport you as you unravel the tightly held secrets of Malaysia's past.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Farish A. Noor might just be Malaysia's hippest intellectual. His gifts are on full display in these expanded versions of public lectures that he delivered at The Annexe Gallery, Central Market Kuala Lumpur in 2008 and 2009. Find out how 'racial difference' became such a big deal in Malaysia, and contrast this against the way our distant ancestors lived. Discover the hidden stories of the keris, Hang Tuah and PAS. There's also quite a bit of sex. Erudite, impassioned and sometimes plain naughty, What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You is a stimulating plunge into aspects of our past that have been kept from us. There's even a bonus chapter! Illustrated with dozens of sepia-toned photographs, many from the author's collection of antiques.
