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 />
