For the Philipines and Malaysia, the establishement of a literary domain (to be occupied by highly valued modern masterpieces) which complements and legitimises their recent status as an indpendent political and culture entity is a complicated, and at times controversial process. The culture formations, as those found in various areas of national life, have been inherited from the coloniser's prescriptions are being reversed, or even subverted, can be witnessed through the constructions of themes and images in the novels that were produced during the post-independence phase. But while these novels question the percepts inherited from the colonial period they are in turn being interrogated within the critical discourse of their own time, a critical discourse that is preoccupied with the revaluation and expansion of the existing literary domain so that it shall be complementary to the information of a modern and independent state. This conjuncture of past (colonial) and present (post-colonial) responses, in both the narrative structures of the novels and the crirical texts that these novels generated. Makes possible a discussion of the relations of post-independence literary production, particularly those that configure the literary domain and grant it its legitimising function. Five novels from each country have bene chosen since the analysis is set within the context of the writers' literary career and the critical reception to their novels. The Tagalog novels are: Maganda pa ang daigdig, Mga ibong mandaragit, Ang Tundo man may langit din, Dugo sa bukang liwayway, and Sa mga kuko ng liwanag. The Malay novels are Salina, Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan, Garis Hitam Membelah Langit, Kail Panjang Sejengkal, dan Interlok.
