Book Description
Care Relations in Southeast Asia: The Family and Beyond, edited by Patcharawalai Wongboonsin and Jo-Pei Tan, examines the care relations and transactions within and beyond the family network across three middle-income Southeast Asian countries, namely the Federation of Malaysia, the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the national and sub-national level. On the national level, changes and continuity in care relations along the changing demographic, socio-economic and political contexts of each country are addressed. On the sub-national level, the complex dimensions of care relations are analyzed by looking at the attitude towards and practice of elderly and child care within, between and beyond the family system. These regional analyses are based on merged data of three most recent family surveys in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok Metropolis, and Hanoi. Alternative and innovative policy recommendations for current and future challenges are also offered. Contains contributions by: Asmidawati Ashari, Ki Soo Eun, Tengku Aizan Hamid, Rahimah Ibrahim, Thuttai Keeratipongpaiboon, Nguyen Huu Minh, Pataporn Sukontamarn, Jo-Pei Tan, Tran Thi Minh Thi, Kua Wongboonsin and Patcharawalai Wongboonsin
Literacy Brokering Among International Students of a Malaysian University

Book Description
Literacy, particularly English language literacy has embraced all the multimodal and socio-cultural nuances of the 21st century and transformed text-based meaning-making activity into a complex process. For meaning-makers, surviving the new literacy challenges means using their linguistic abilities to mediate the changes embedded within their context of living. Conflict however would occur when they are taken out of their original context and placed in a new one. This is because they would have more elements in need of mediating. International students exemplify these meaning-makers; they moved out of their country and left their usual literacy practices to be at another new reality; one which has already established its own literacy practices.
