This book is the result of research on the subaltern of Banjar women in the tradition of Kawin Anom (underage marriage). Revealing women’s oppression in the context of local culture experienced from the colonial era to the present (postcolonial). The legacy of underage marriage takes place continuously and becomes a tradition. The transformation of underage marriage culture starts from arranged marriage to free life of young people. Underage marriage is reproduced in social, cultural and economic functions, thus affecting the oppression of young married women. The experience of underage married women (life history) is an important part of feminist ethnography studies in this paper. Patriarchal culture has been instilled since the colonial era and become a picture of their strong lives. The young wives endure the suffering of underage marriage because of shame and maintaining their marriage. In fact, from the beginning of the marriage, they do not understand the meaning of marriage itself. Women become oppressed when religion and culture are linked to their lives without a real foundation. The oppression of women in domestic life since experiencing the underage marriage can have a sociological and psychological impact on them. Women also often become victims of violence, such as domestic violence and reproductive disorders. Even women experience oppression in their relationship with their husbands. 1

The core argument of this book is that citizenship is produced and practiced through movements against injustice. These take the shape of struggles-by people at the grassroots level and middle classes and their representing organisations and activists-for cultural recognition , social and economic justice , and popular representation. Such popular struggles in Indonesia have largely ended up engaging with the state through both discursive and non-discursive processes. While the state is a common focal point, these struggles are fragmented across different sectors and subject positions. Developing chains of solidarity among fragments of struggles is highly important, yet attempts at bridging fragmentation leave much to be desired.1 2

In line with the understanding related to sustainable plantation forestry is a process on forest management that includes economic, social and ecological. In the conceptual operation of ‘sustainable forestry’ means to analyses the stakeholders role (the government, private company, academics, NGOs officer, local communities/farmers) manage and interact among actors to provide timber such as acacia mangium and eucalyptus as raw material of pulp and paper industries among ASEAN countries (Indonesia, , and Vietnam), Japan, France and (USA). The scheme to timber supply could be used as ‘contract farming’ between farmers and private companies. This sense that private sector provides fertilizer, economic incentive and guarantee market in harvesting time for farmers. Besides, the private companies plant trees with their own selves. The theoretical framework of this research used ‘political ecology’ which actively involves actor’s movement from local level, national and international.1

The concept of inheritance and what is actually an inheritance law, especially the inheritance of Islam, gets its examinations in the practice of distributing and solving inherited disputes in society. Concepts and laws that have been deemed raw, in fact can be discussed, liquid, and get a new meaning. The meaning of inheritance varies greatly, not only because the law is diverse, but also the culture, the system, the various classes, as well as the gender perspective. The reality of legal pluralism can be demonstrated not only by the existence of some legal systems in the issue of inheritance, but also of mutual influence, adoption or otherwise contestation, among the various legal systems in the practice of inheritance distribution. Legal pluralism (state law, religion, custom) loses its demarcation line firmly. There is an influence of the highly dynamic practice of inheritance that takes place in the Islamic countries of Southeast Asia, on the practice of inheritance in Indonesia. In this case can be seen the existence of Islamic legal references with customary law and customs, or laws that live in society. 1

New Guinea is not only the largest and highest tropical island but also the last largest wilderness on Earth. The western part of Papua deserves attention because it has equatorial glaciers, vast forest-covered plains, towering central mountains, the charming Raja Ampat archipelago, and several hundred indigenous people living in the forest. Most of Papua area remains natural and the knowledge of its natural environment is extremely limited. As one of the remaining wilderness in the world, Papua has extraordinary biodiversity and culture. At present, the Papuan environment faces a number of threats from outside pressures to exploit forests and to develop oil palm plantations and biofuels on a very large scale. Thus, it is very important for leaders in Papua to balance economic development with the management of resources for the well-being of a diverse cultural population in the long run.1 2 3

Siti was an orphan, living on her own. She was very poor – so poor that her only belongings were a pair of sandals and the blouse and the waist cloth that she wore. But Siti never complain and never lament; she was a cheerful, kind little girl. She also loved beauty. So when others demolished her hut and razed her village to turn it into a beautiful green grass lawn, Siti was very happy. “It is only right that beauty replaces ugliness”, she said. And as she was homeless, she set out wandering, following her skinny little feet.
