This study is an examination of the portrayal of the Pattani Malay identity in the Pantai Ini Lautnya Dalam anthology by Abdul Razak Panaemalae. Ten short stories by the writer are analysed with specific focus on how this identity is presented or reflected through the characters based on the model of identity advocated by Phinney (1989). Four dimensions of identity - religion, language, economy, and politics - are highlighted in the discussion. Abdul Razak’s stories present the perspective of the Pattani Malay community manifested through the ‘world view’ of youths entrenched in the dominant Thai culture. Analysis of the stories indicated that the Malay identity is still prevalent in the community. The cultural markers of language identity and religion identity are also ascertained. This indicated that the writer subscribed to the tenet of ‘gentem lingua facit’ or ‘language reflects nation’.Â

Kajian ini berkisar kepada pemaparan identiti Melayu Pattani dalam kumpulan cerpen Pantai Ini Lautnya Dalam. Unit analisis kajian ini terdiri daripada sepuluh buah cerpen nukilan Abdul Razak Panaemalae dalam Pantai Ini Lautnya Dalam. Aspek kajian bertumpu kepada citra identiti Melayu Pattani yang digambarkan melalui watak-watak yang menggerakkan cerita dalam rangkaian cerpen tersebut. Penelitian ini disandarkan kepada teori kajian identiti yang disarankan dalam model identiti Phinney (1989). Perbincangan dibahagikan kepada beberapa dimensi identiti iaitu agama, bahasa, budaya, ekonomi dan politik. Tuntasnya, nukilan Abdul Razak memperlihatkan identiti masyarakat Melayu Pattani dari sudut ‘world view’ generasi muda yang kini berada dalam lingkungan budaya Thai yang dominan. Analisis cerpen-cerpen ini menunjukkan bahawa identiti Melayu masih jelas. Selain itu, dua petanda budaya (cultural marker) dikesan iaitu identiti bahasa dan identiti agama. Hal ini membuktikan bahawa penulis berpegang kepada “gentem lingua facitâ€, istilah Latin yang bermaksud “bahasa menunjukkan bangsa.â€
