Orang Laut Memories of the Premodern States of Melaka and Johor-Riau
Vivienne Wee’s paper discusses how the Orang Laut of the past were part of the premodern kingdoms of Melaka and Johor-Riau. The earliest stone inscriptions containing the term hulun haji were possibly replaced by the 15 th century term, hamba raja (ruler’s slaves). The premodern kingdoms benefitted from the Orang Laut, who supplied valuable trade goods from land and sea, enabling these kingdoms to participate in seaborne trade with China and othe…
Jemberang and Alam Melayu
In this paper, I deal with different modes of population movement, as well as the ethnic ramifications of such movement. The discussion is set in the Straits of Melaka, Singapore and Riau, the waterways separating Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Prior to the formation of these nation-states, the three straits, which flow into one another, provided a unifying focus for successive Malay kingdoms. International boundaries now run through them, bu…
Introduction
Positioning strategies of Southeast Asian Chinese entrepreneurs
Based on recent fieldwork, this article examines the factor of ethnicity in the positioning strategies of ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs in relation to the emergence of China as a land of seemingly great economic potential. The focus is on small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs, rather than highly mobile business conglomerates. The article compares such entrepreneurs in Manado (eastern Indonesia), Singapore and Johor Baru (southern Peninsular Malays…
Ethnicity and capital
This article seeks to debunk the persistent myth of an ethnically-based Chinese capitalism and the culturalist view of an "economic miracle" created by Asians of Chinese descent. This myth claims that Chinese entrepreneurs constitute a closed category with homogenous ethnic attributes and cultural values that have enabled them to achieve economic success. This article disputes such primordialist views and proposes an alternative analysis of the c…

Social Fragmentation in Indonesia
The Asian financial crisis in 1997 led to a crisis of legitimacy, causing President Suharto to resign on 21 May 1998. This resulted in widespread social fragmentation, which has taken the form of massive social unrest, riots, ethnic conflicts, separatist movements, as well as crime and interpersonal violence. Although the fragmentation was catalyzed by the financial crisis, it is actually more deeply rooted in the institutional dysfunctionality b…
Ethno-nationalism in process
Fifty-five years ago the Republic of Indonesia was founded on the motto Bhinneka tunggal ika (unity in diversity). Today unity has all but disintegrated as separatism and ethnic conflict tear at the nation's political and social fabric. This paper explores the historical foundations of ethno-nationalism with reference to the perspectives of Riau Malays. It argues that current conflict is not the result of recent phenomena, as is so often reported…
New geographies and temporalities of power
the papers in this special issue examine the increasingly significant problem of ethically-based separatist movements and ensuing conflicts in three nation-states of Southeast Asia: \n \n-Burma - among the Karens, Karennis, Shans, Mons, and others \n \n-Indonesia - in Acch, Riau, Papua, Sulawesi, Bali, and others, in addition to an already independent East Timor. \n \n-Philippines - among the Bangsamoro in Mindanao
Continuity and discontinuity in the multiple realities of Riau
Processes of globalization impacting on Riau are not a new phenomenon. External agendas have been imposed on Riau since the arrival of European colonizers in the sixteenth century. Thus, current forces of globalization in Riau are part of a continuous historical process that began centuries ago. However, the difference lies in the rate and scale of the changes that Riau inhabitants and their habitats have experienced. Presently, Riau is increasin…
