Detention Camps in Asia
Why have Asian states – colonial and independent – imprisoned people on a massive scale in detention camps? How have detainees experienced the long months and years of captivity? And what does the creation of camps and the segregation of people in them mean for society as a whole? This ambitious book surveys the systems of detention camps set up in Asia from the beginning of the 20th century in The Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Malaya, Myanmar (…

Introduction Japan and the Transformation of National Identities in Asia in the Imperial Era
When Tokugawa Japan opened its doors to the West after 1854, Asia was a world of empires in flux. The ailing Chinese empire still dominated East Asia but was already feeling the intrusion of Western powers, while Western colonial empires were taking shape in South and Southeast Asia. Japan's influence on national identities in Asia both fell far short of its intentions and was much more far-reaching. Its influence fell short of its intentions par…
Atrocity and the Limits of Historical Guilt
Developing a quality ranking for history journals in Australia
In 2010, the Excellence in Research for Australia assessment programme developed a controversial ranking of journals that was used as a proxy for the quality of the articles in those journals. The ranking was later abandoned because of serious practical and principled problems. The demand for ranking continues, however, from researchers and university managers. For Humanities disciplines, ranking has advantages over citation analysis, especially …
Wild Man from Borneo
Wild Man from Borneo offers the first comprehensive history of the human-orangutan encounter. Arguably the most humanlike of all the great apes, particularly in intelligence and behavior, the orangutan has been cherished, used, and abused ever since it was first brought to the attention of Europeans in the seventeenth century. The red ape has engaged the interest of scientists, philosophers, artists, and the public at large in a bewildering array…

Convict Exile and Penal Settlement in Colonial Indonesia
In an age when other colonial powers made extensive use of penal transportation to solve metropolitan prison problems, stake claim to new territory and accelerate economic development in distant possessions, the Netherlands was sparing in its use of convict exile in colonial Indonesia. Through an examination of three Dutch ventures into penal transportation—Karimun Jawa, Banjuwangi and Boven Digul—this paper argues that abundance of local labour,…

Historical Atlas of Northeast Asia, 1590-2010
Four hundred years ago, indigenous peoples occupied the vast region that today encompasses Korea, Manchuria, the Mongolian Plateau, and Eastern Siberia. Over time, these populations struggled to maintain autonomy as Russia, China, and Japan sought hegemony over the region. Especially from the turn of the twentieth century onward, indigenous peoples pursued self-determination in a number of ways, and new states, many of them now largely forgotten,…

Political Genocides in Postcolonial Asia
This article discusses political genocide in postcolonial Asia, looking at Indonesia, Cambodia, and China. Mass political killing presents a special problem in genocide studies. The slaughter of human beings because of the political beliefs and attitudes they held, or were presumed to have held, cost millions of lives during the twentieth century. The Indonesian killings of 1965–6 cost half a million lives and the killings during the Cultural Rev…
Avoiding Clemency
Like other Allied powers in Asia, the Netherlands Indies government embarked on the trial of Japanese military personnel accused of war crimes during the occupation of the Indonesian archipelago. Although calls for clemency towards convicted war criminals were heard as early as 1947, the Dutch authorities resisted the suggestion that prisoners be released or repatriated. Many Dutch residents of the former colony remained bitter about Japanese cri…

Indonesia as an Archipelago
Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state. By the latest official count, the archipelago consists of 18,108 islands, which lie scattered between the mountainous island of Breueh in the west and tiny Sibir Island in Humboldt Bay (Teluk Yos Sudarso) in the east, and between Miangas in the north and Dana in the south. Indonesia's islands range in size from New Guinea, Borneo and Sumatra, respectively the second, third and sixth largest isl…
A genocide that never was
Many publications refer incorrectly to extensive massacres of Chinese in Indonesia in 1965–66. Approximately half a million people were killed in this period, but the victims were overwhelmingly members and associates of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Chinese Indonesians experienced serious harassment but relatively few were killed. The persistence of this myth is attributed to a trope dating back to the seventeenth century which equates t…

Conservation in Colonial Indonesia
Conservationist thinking in colonial Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) developed in the late nineteenth century from awareness of the importance of birds in controlling agricultural pests. In the early twentieth century, the Netherlands also felt pressure to live up to ‘international obligations’ in nature preservation. Colonial paternalism fuelled fears of the damaging social consequences of the presence of rough bird-of-paradise hunters in We…

Orphans of Empire
The break-up of empires was the most profound geo-political phenomenon of the twentieth century. In 1900, except in the Western Hemisphere, most of the world's people lived in polities which readily described themselves as empires. These polities were territorially vast, or at least far-flung, and each of them ruled a multitude of peoples who differed enormously in the usual markers of ethnicity such as language, religion, and culture. Over the c…

Unresolved Problems in the Indonesian Killings of 1965–1966

The origin of Anadara shell mounds at Weipa, North Queensland, Australia
We examine the criteria for distingishing middens from natural shell accumulations, in the light of the Stone's (1992, 1993) hypothesis that large shell mounds, dominated by the bivalve Anadara, in the Weipa area are scrub fowl nests built from shelly chenier ridge deposits that formed by natural geomorphologic processes. Several previous investigators have considered that the same mounds were humanly made. We present fresh field observations fro…
A preliminary report on archaeological findings in Aurukun Shire, western Cape York
The following is a preliminary report on archaeological work undertaken in September and October 1985 in conjunction with an ethnographic mapping project carried out by the South Australian Museum and Arukun Shire Council. The mapping project, which has continued in some form for the past 15 years, was set up by anthropologists Peter Sutton and John von Sturmer along with the traditional owners of clan estates. As this work, and similar work in e…

Opium and the Indonesian Revolution
The Indonesian revolution was a costly affair. Not only was it accompanied by the extensive destruction of life and property, but the actual logistics of fighting a protracted revolution placed enormous financial demands on the new Indonesian Republic, founded on 17 August 1945, three days after the Japanese surrendered, at a time when the revolutionary government was decidedly ill-equipped to meet them. The Republic was unable to take over immed…

Burma’s Entry into Asean
The decision by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to admit Burma (Myanmar) as a member in mid-1997 seriously strained the association’s relations with its dialogue partners in the West. Both European countries and the United States urged that Burma be excluded from ASEAN because of its record of suppressing democracy. ASEAN persisted with Burma’s admission, however for several reasons. The association, formed in 1967 to limit out…
Elections in Jakarta
The PPP victory in 1977 focused attention on electoral politics in the capital, in the search for clues to the direction of events in Indonesia. Attention was drawn in particular to the possibility of extraconstitutional mass opposition to the Suharto government. Golkar's recovery in 1982 suggested in turn that waves of opposition were either abating or being quelled. A closer investigation of the 1982 election suggests rather that Golkar and the…

A Comment on Eugene L. Sterud's “Changing Aims in Americanist Archaeology
It is argued that the citation analysis of changing aims in archaeology by Sterud (1978) may not reflect the only or the most significant developments over the period studied. There is still considerable disagreement on the aims of archaeology, and there remains a tendency for archaeologists to split into competing schools. The interactions of these schools provide much of the impetus to growth and change in the discipline and are themselves pote…

An introduction to the articles on Indonesia
In May 1987, general elections will be held in Indonesia. These will be the fifth such elections since the country's independence in 1945, and the contesting parties will be the government electoral organization, GOLKAR, which convincingly won the last elections, the largely Muslim PPP (Unity Development party), and the small Christian and nationalist PDI (Indonesian Democratic party). After the previous elections in 1982, the Indonesian governme…

Nomads in Archaeology
Nomads in Archaeology addresses the problem of how to study mobile peoples using archaeological techniques. It therefore deals not only with the prehistory and archaeology of nomads but also with current issues in theory and methodology, particularly the concept of 'site structure'. This is the first volume to be devoted exclusively to nomad archaeology. It includes sections on the history and origins of pastoral nomad societies, the economics of…
