Roots Living Heritage presents a collection of narratives about Malaysia and its son and daughters, who in their own unique way, have achieved much in their lives and contributed in no small way to the nation’s heritage. Their stories are told from the perspective chosen by the writers, thus displaying an array of personal insights which are captivatingly rich and interesting. Of considerable historical value are the episodes and events arising out of the diverse socio-cultural and political life of the nation.
These essays reminisce about personal and intimate contacts by a group of Malaysians who are concerned with the need to present the past in a more personal and intimate manner. It opens up the prospect of rerouting the production of historical knowledge and memory-making away from ‘archives’ and ‘libraries’ toward the more personal ‘experience’ of historical witnesses. It explores the manner people outside academia think about history as an analytical tool to develop historical knowledge of their own roots and those of others who may deserve a spot in history.
