An Idea Away: The Humanist Politics of A. Samad Ismail captures a renowned Malay journalist-litterateur, profound conviction that humanistic ideas—rooted in social justice and equality—are always within reach. This book meticulously charts his courageous navigation of journalism, politics, and literature where he explored the inspiring bays of thought and capes of hope even amidst challenging tides marked by escalating racial and religious bigotry. It serves as a vital guide to his creative and discursive expressions for imagining a better, peaceful future. In studying Samad Ismail’s ideas, the reader is also given a glimpse on the ideological trajectory of the Malay-language press within the context of social and political issues of the day.
