This week, we dive into Malaysian literature in Chinese, or Mahua literature, by talking about how it originated, the way it's evolved, and its complex place within both Malaysian and global literatures. We close off the conversation with a series of recommendations from our guest, Dr Florence Kuek of the Chinese Studies Department at Universiti Malaya.
