Black and Whites is the fifth volume in CCCP's World Englishes Literature series. This anthology of new short stories shows how Malaysian writing in English has reached a stage of considerable advancement and independence. It explodes the official government ideology of "One Malaysia" from almost every perspective conceivable, be it familial, racial, religious, cultural, economic, or generational. These narratives explore experiences of disenchantment, hope, struggle, the possibility and impossibility of achieving dreams, cultural differences and social change. As a whole the collection demonstrated an extraordinary linguistic self-confidence and defines the themes of twenty-first century Malaysia.
