Creole Identity
Creolization and the emergence of creole identity have occurred on a global scale and are distinct in structural and historical rather than regional terms, involving specific forms and practices of interaction, exchange, and mixture. To study their historical and contemporary relevance and meanings in a globally interconnected world, we need to tap the creole terminology's heuristic potential and apply it as a comparative tool. A historical persp…
Creole Identity in Postcolonial Indonesia
Contributing to identity formation in ethnically and religiously diverse postcolonial societies, this book examines the role played by creole identity in Indonesia, and in particular its capital, Jakarta. While, on the one hand, it facilitates transethnic integration and promotes a specifically postcolonial sense of common nationhood due to its heterogeneous origins, creole groups of people are often perceived ambivalently in the wake of colonial…
Global and local models of governance in interaction: Configurations of power in Upper Guinea Coast societies
This paper studies emerging power configurations in Upper Guinea Coast societies which result from contemporary interactions of global and local models of governance. With empirical data on shifting meanings of chieftaincy and control of land, changing tax regimes and the rising importance of youth in domestic politics, modifications of legitimate authority across time are contrasted with the effects of international interventions and global disc…
Creolization and Pidginization in Contexts of Postcolonial Diversity: Language, Culture, Identity
This book deals with creolization and pidginization of language, culture and identity and makes use of interdisciplinary approaches developed in the study of the latter. Creolization and pidginization are conceptualized and investigated as specific social processes in the course of which new common languages, socio-cultural practices and identifications are developed under distinct social and political conditions and in different historical and l…
Transnationalism
Transnationalism as a concept serves as an analytical tool to grasp and differentiate a wide range of phenomena classified as transnational—that is, social, economic, political, and cultural processes that extend beyond the boundaries of nation‐states. Transnationalism understood as a descriptive term refers to those same processes (i.e., conceptualizes as transnationalism the social, economic, political, and cultural processes) that transnationa…
Creolization and Pidginization in Contexts of Postcolonial Diversity: Context, Content, Structure
Introduction: Deconstructing Tropes of Politics and Policies in Upper Guinea Coast Societies
The editors, Højbjerg, Knörr, and Murphy, summarize and reevaluate key explanatory themes in the broad research program on Upper Guinea Coast ethnography and history in light of contemporary changes, crises, and continuities. Intense sociopolitical transformations in this West African region—for example, civil war, refugees, regional insecurity, postconflict nation-building, and transnational epidemics—challenge the standard research paradigms fo…
The Upper Guinea Coast in Global Perspective
For centuries, Africa's Upper Guinea Coast region has been the site of regional and global interactions, with societies from different parts of the African continent and beyond engaging in economic trade, cultural exchange, and various forms of conflict. This book provides a wide-ranging look at how such encounters have continued into the present day, identifying the disruptions and continuities in religion, language, economics, and various other…

Out Of Hiding? Strategies Of Empowering The Past In The Reconstruction Of Krio Identity
The Krio are the descendants of liberated slaves in Sierra Leone who, on the background of heterogenous origins, developed and maintained a new common ethnic identity. However, in recent years, since the end of the civil war, an increasing number of Krio have become more engaged in public discourse and involved in political activities on the national level. The historical dimension of diaspora in Krio identity is, of course, particularly obvious …

Contemporary Creoleness; or, The World in Pidginization
Creolization" has often been terminologically equated with "hybridization," "syncretization," and other terms referring to processes of mixture. Normative assumptions concerning categories of race, origin, and culture as well as emic labeling have had a strong impact on who and what was labeled as creole. I argue for a more concise and contextualized understanding of the term "creole" to warrant its usefulness for comparative cultural analysis. E…
Free the dragon’ versus ‘Becoming Betawi: Chinese identity in contemporary Jakarta 1
The Chinese in Indonesia suffered considerable discrimination particularly during Suharto's rule (1967–1998). They were considered a foreign threat that needed to be kept under state control. Since the end of Suharto's regime and as a result of liberalisasi, demokratisasi and desentralisasi a revival of Chinese identity has set in, initiating a public discourse on the compatability of Chinese and Indonesian identity. This discourse refers to diff…
