CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN MALAYSIAN TOURISM
by Nurhazani Mohd Shariff, Jasmine Zea Raziah Radha Rashid Radha, Roshita Abdul Razak, Grafik UUM Press
Contemporary Issues in Malaysian Tourism is a book that aims to present a new and refreshing approach to the study of tourism. It highlights significant issues in the Malaysian context, ranging from tourism education to e-tourism, as well as challenges in sustaining tourism destinations and managing hospitality operations during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. As the scope of the content is wide-ranging, this book provides an overview of how Malaysia’s tourism industry operates and would benefit destination managers, marketers, policymakers and other stakeholders. Divided into three sections, this book is a collection of both empirical and theoretical research, covering several topics such as community-based ecotourism, Islamic tourism, sports tourism, food tourism and green tourism. It is suitable for students, academicians, and practitioners alike as it introduces key ideas and presents several perspectives on how stakeholders in the industry understand the issues, the challenges being faced, and the necessary measures taken to meet the ever-growing demand for travelling.

EducationCensorship!... or… Selection?
Confronting a Curriculum of Orthodoxy through Pluralistic Models
by Shariff, S.
This book is a must read for academics, policy-makers and teachers who grapple with policy and pedagogical decisions about what to include or exclude in schools that cater to diverse stakeholders. Much has been written about controversial, litigious school censorship controversies relating to text and library books. Post-September 11th, these have expanded to banning of religious clothing and symbols. Court challenges emerge in the context of a global and political media backdrop that consistently reinforces anti-Muslim sentiment. The re-emergence of an extreme right-wing religious backlash against liberal civil liberties that endorse homosexuality, feminism, religious and racial equality create formidable dilemmas for educators, further complicated by the blurred boundaries of free expression, safety and privacy in cyber-space, as students increasingly communicate on-line. Shariff and Johnny argue that censorship is deeply rooted in hegemonic perspectives that sustain neo-colonial privilege and silence the social, historical and intellectual contributions of some students. This “curriculum of orthodoxy” supports discriminatory political/media stereotypes of non-Caucasian ethnic groups through “selection” that is in fact “censorship.” The authors introduce a Critical Legal Literacy model for teacher education that combines legal and digital literacies with critical educational pedagogy to help educators meet contemporary challenges through pluralistic, ethical and educational decisions.
