Bung Karno and the Fossilization of Soekarno's Thought
Not long after Bung Karno died [June 21, 1970], I received a letter from a friend. He had been enraged with the Great Leader of the Revolution, and had actively resisted Guided Democracy because he felt that both institutions were authoritarian, had ruined the Indonesian economy, had further impoverished the little man, and had given the Indonesian Communist Party the green light. But in the letter he told me how astonished he had been when, watc…
Twilight Dogs: Jangled Nerves
On July 7, 1937, the sun started to dip towards the political horizon for the two most powerful strata in the Netherlands Indies-the Dutch and the "Chinese," both foreign-bom totok and locally bom peranakan.On that day, Japanese generals launched a full-scale invasion of China, and within a year established control over half the country's people and almost all its richest provinces.President Chiang Kai-shek was forced to flee to the remote interi…

Indonesian Nationalism Today and in the Future
In my experience nationalism is frequently misunderstood.For that reason this morning I will begin my remarks by discussing briefly two common kinds of misunderstanding, using Indonesia as an example of a phenomenon almost universal in this century which is now crawling to its end.The first is that nationalism is something very old and is inherited from, of course, "absolutely splendid ancestors."Thus it is something that arises "naturally" in th…

Fantasizing the Feminine in Indonesia
And she the eldest daughter!... life could have been good, waiting for her turn to buy, for so many sarongs and headcloths woven with gold or silver thread and weighed on the scales, a man she liked; waiting to bear children, preferably female children!Listening to the roaring waters, the tall rustling trees, and half an hour after midnight the crackle of blazing torches, and the sound of men's voices coming through the dark, as they climbed down…

Language and Power: Exploring Political Cultures in Indonesia
In this lively book, Benedict R. O'G Anderson explores the cultural and political contradictions that have arisen from two critical facts in Indonesian history—that while the Indonesian nation is young, the Indonesian state is ancient, originating in the early seventeenth-century Dutch conquests; and that contemporary politics are conducted in a new language, Bahasa Indonesia, by peoples (especially the Javanese) whose cultures are rooted in medi…
Old State, New Society: Indonesia's New Order in Comparative Historical Perspective
The author of this article argues that the paradox of postcolonial states pursuing internal and external policies remarkably similar to those of their colonial predecessors, despite the passage from colonialism to independence, is best resolved by focusing on the distinct, long-standing, institutional interests of the state-qua-state. It is these interests that make explicable the key policies of Suharto's New Order toward economic development, t…

Culture and Politics in Indonesia
Java in a Time of Revolution. Occupation and Resistance 1944-1946
With remarkable scope and in scrupulous detail, Professor Anderson analyzes the Indonesian revolution of 1945. Against the background of Javanese culture and the Japanese occupation, he explores the origins of the revolutionary youth groups, the military, and the political parties to challenge conventional interpretations of revolutionary movements in Asia. The author emphasizes that the critical role in the outbreak was played not by the dissati…
