Asian Studies<br />
New New<br />
Minorities at Large<br />
New Approaches to Minority Ethnicity in<br />
Vietnam<br />
Edited by Philip Taylor<br />
This collection represents a new approach<br />
to minority ethnicity in Vietnam. Drawing<br />
on ethnographic and historical research in<br />
the highlands and lowlands, eight essays<br />
provide rich descriptions of a wide variety<br />
of ethnic minority experiences. They<br />
offer provocative analyses that challenge<br />
stereotypes about minority groups in<br />
scholarship and official development<br />
policy. While powerful forces such as warring armies, the<br />
socialist state, or the market economy often are said to<br />
have undermined the livelihoods and identities of onceautonomous<br />
peoples, these studies reveal how people<br />
at the periphery of the modern nation-state nonetheless<br />
have been active in the transformation and redefinition of<br />
their worlds. The chapters situate contemporary minority<br />
transnational networks in the context of older translocal<br />
affiliations, identities, and livelihood strategies. In contrast<br />
with the attention devoted in previous studies to the state<br />
ethnic classification project, the studies shed light on<br />
popular identifications in circulation, and transition, among<br />
ethnic minorities themselves.<br />

John R.W. Smail<br />
Bandung Awal Revolusi adalah penelitian<br />
pertama mengenai sejarah lokal dalam<br />
period revolusi Indonesia. Kisahnya<br />
mengenai peristiwa-peristiwa di dalam dan<br />
sekitar Bandung selama period Agustus<br />
1945 - Maret 1946 sangat menarik dan<br />
mengungkap berbagai aspek dalam<br />
sejarah revolusi Indonesia yang sampai<br />
sekarang hanya sedikit diperhatikan.<br />
Dalam Bandung Awal Revolusi kita akan menemukan<br />
cerita-cerita unik pada awal masa Revolusi di Bnadung<br />
mulai dari rivalitas orang Sunda dan orang non-Sunda,<br />
"camat perjuangan" yang berambut panjang dan selalu<br />
berpakaian santai, hingga bungkusan-bungkusan dari daun<br />
yang dibawa berperang untuk menyimpan mayat-mayat<br />
prajurit Gurkha.<br />

Decentring & Diversifying Southeast<br />
Asian Studies<br />
Perspectives from the Region<br />
Edited by Goh Beng-Lan<br />
This admirable book contains fascinating<br />
autobiographical accounts, by some of<br />
Southeast Asia’s most eminent scholars,<br />
concerning their struggle to find their own<br />
voices in interpreting the region to which they<br />
belong. The book should be indispensable<br />
to anyone interested in thinking about<br />
knowledge production and its politics in a<br />
postcolonial world. In the views of these scholarly Southeast<br />
Asians, we are made to see, in very personal terms, the link<br />
between the global crisis in the social sciences and the need to<br />
find remedies for it that are neither Eurocentric nor parochially<br />
anti-Western. – Professor Alexander Woodside, Professor of<br />
Chinese and Southeast Asian History University of British<br />
Columbia, Vancouver, Canada<br />

Peradaban Jawa<br />
Dari Mataram Kuno Sampai Majapahit Akhir<br />
Supratikno Rabardja<br />
Karya ini patut mendapat penyimakan<br />
dari siapa pun yang mempunyai perhatian<br />
kepada sejarah dan sejarah kebudayaan<br />
Jawa, malah lebih jauh lagi sejarah dan<br />
sejarah kebudayaan Indonesia. Sebab<br />
kajian ini menggambarkan hampir secara<br />
holistik peradaban masyarakat Jawa Kuno<br />
yang memainkan posisi penting di<br />
Nusantara selama delapan abad, mulai adab ke-8 sampai<br />
abad ke-15. Dengan ketekunan seorang sejarawan dan<br />
ketelitian seorang arkeolog, Supratikno telah menghimpun<br />
ribuan data, termasuk hal-ihwal 'remeh' kehidupan seharihari<br />
pada masa Jawa kuno. Hasilnya adalah mosaik kaya<br />
warna yang menghimpun data delapan abad tentang<br />
peradaban Jawa Kuno. Memang tidak banyak ide teoretik<br />
cemerlang dalam buku ini, tapi banyak sorotannya yang<br />
bisa membuka cakrawala baru tentang kebudayaan dan<br />
masyarakat Jawa Kuno. Supratikno dengan bukunya ini<br />
telah masuk dalam bagian dari sedikit ilmuwan Indonesia<br />
yang mengupas secara menyeluruh dan terpadu sejarah<br />
kebudayaan Jawa dalam arti luas.<br />
