N2  - This essay examines the role of the dominant Malay intelligentsia in imagining Malaysia, using as platform for discussion two contemporary teen novels by Gunawan Mahmood: This Land (originally published in Malay as Tanah Ini in 1996; out in English translation in 2002) and Namaku Ayoko (My Name is Ayoko; 1994). The chosen author and texts are little known outside of the Malay literary world, which alters not the fact that Gunawan is a multiple award-winning, state-affiliated writer who, like many of his Malay-Muslim contemporaries and predecessors, believes that ?those with knowledge ought to write? and ?literature should educate, awaken and inspire society? (in Mahmood, 1993:x). Gunawan is an ?intellectual? insofar as he participates in the production and distribution of knowledge, as someone who professes a vocation for the art of ?representing, embodying, articulating a message, a view, an attitude, philosophy or opinion to, as well as for, a public? (Said, 1996:11). (Text by author)
