AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Melanau people are an indigenous ethnic group living in the coastal wetlands in the southwestern region of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Mukah, famed as the Melanau heartland, is a small town known for its fishing and sago industries. Set in Mukah, this short story tells the tale of two Melanau sisters faced with an unexpected change in their family circumstances leading to a clash of gender, extended family, culture and occupation.'  (Publication abstract)

    'This is the second part of the eTropic special issue theme on Tropical Imaginaries and Living Cities. While the first part of this series concentrated predominately on concrete cities and the material imagination, this second issue explores notions of the tropics and cities through literary and artistic works. Thus in this collection of papers the tropical imaginary comes to the forefront while the metropolis provides the space or canvas for the imagination.' (Anita Lundberg Editorial introduction)
