II, p, 102 f£); and Reid and Castles, Pre-colonial state systems; 310 NOTES AND REFERENCES 311 see also Gullick, Indigenous political systems of western Malaya. Fisher, South-East Asia; and Pelzer, 'Physical and human resource patterns', describe the geography ofthe archipelago. Particularly valuable studies of economic (and other) affairs are to be found in Reid, 'Pre-colonial economy ofIndonesia' and Southeast Asia in the age of commerce. The standard historical description of Majapahit, now rather out of date, is Krom, Hindoe-Javaansche geschiedenis. This is the main source for the discussion in Coedes, Les etats hindouises, which has been translated into English as Indianised states of Southeast Asia. Slametmuljana, Stary of Majapahit, contains much useful material, but some of the suggestions seem inadequately documented. For the fif- teenth century, all of these works have been superseded by Noorduyn, 'Majapahit in the fifteenth century'. A text and English translation of the Nrigarakertrigama, and much other useful information, is given in Pigeaud,java in the 14th century. The Pararaton is in Brandes, Pararaton (Ken Arok); there is an Indonesian translation in Padmapuspita, Pararaton. C. C. Berg has published his arguments in several books and articles; see especially his Rijk van de vijfuoudige Buddha. On Malacca, see Wang, 'First three rulers of Malacca'; Wake, 'Malacca's early kings and the reception ofIslam'; and the early chapters of Meilink-Roelofsz, Asian trade and European influence. An attempt to reconstruct Malacca's origins is Wolters, Fall of Srivijaya. The major source for its trade is Cortesao, Suma Oriental. Chapter 3: The Arrival of the Europeans in Indonesia, c. 1509-1620 The background and development of Portuguese overseas expansion are de- scribed in Boxer, Prmuguese seaborne empire; and in Diffie and Winius, Foundations of the Prmuguese empire (this, however, has some errors of detail concerning the Malay-Indonesian area). An excellent analysis of Dutch overseas activities is in Boxer, Dutch seaborne empire. See also Parry, Europe and a wider world, reprinted as f-'stablishment of the European hegemony; and Masselman, Cradle of colonialism. An examination of Portuguese and early English and Dutch activities in Indo- nesia is to be found in Meilink-Roelofsz, Asian trade and European influence. Much material is also included in Tiele, 'Europeers in den Maleischen archipel'. A Malay chronicler's view of the conquest of Malacca is given in Brown, Sijarah Mi'layu. Portuguese and Dutch activities in Maluku are analysed in de Graa( Ambon en de Zuid-Molukken. On sixteenth-century Maluku see also Abdurachman, 'Moluccan responses to the first intrusions of the West'. Abdurachman et al., Bunga rampai sejarah Maluku (I), covers the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. There is also interesting material collected in da Fran<;:a, Prmuguese influence in Indonesia. On Solor, see Abdurachman, 'Atakiwan, casados and tupassi' and Barnes, 'Avarice and iniquity at the Solor fort'; on Banda, see Villiers, 'Trade and society in the Banda islands'. Documents concerning Coen's period are in Colenbrander and Coolhaas,jan Pietersz. Coen. The events surrounding the conquest of Batavia are described in Ricklefs, 'Banten and the Dutch in 1619'; and Abeyasekere, jakarta. An authori- tative analysis of VOC financial records is to be found in de Korte, Financiifte verantwoording. For the social history of Batavia under the VOC, see Blusse, Strange company; and Jean Taylor, Social world. 312 A HISTORY OF MODERN INDONESIA SINCE 1300 Chapter 4: The Rise of New States, c. 1500-1650 There is much miscellaneous material on the states discussed above in Meilink- Roe!ofsz, Asian trade and European influence. Important and stimulating analysis of the economic setting of these new states is contained in Reid's articles 'Age of commerce' and 'Seventeenth-century crisis'. On Aceh and the states of the western archipelago, see Djajadiningrat, 'Geschiedenis van het Soeltanaat van A~eh'; and Lombard, Iskandar Muda; see also the earlier parts of Andaya, Kingdom ofJohar. On Java, see de Graaf and Pigeaud, Eerste Moslimse vOTstendommen op Java; de GraaI; Senapati Ingalaga; and de GraaI; Sultan Agung. The first of these books lacks an index, which is to be found along with English summaries of the other books listed here and other of de Graaf's writings in Pigeaud and de GraaI; Islamic states. On the later years of Majapahit see Noorduyn, 'Majahapit in the fifteenth century'. The establishment ofIslamic rule in West Java and the role of the Portuguese are discussed in Guillot, 'L'accord luso-soundanais de 1522'. The earliest Javanese chronicle so far discovered is published in Ricklefs, Modern Javanese historical tradition. Some Javanese chronicle views on the fall of Majapahit are also published in Ricklefs, 'Consideration of three versions of the Babad Tanah Djawi'. The Cirebon manuscript is published and translated into Indonesian in A~a, Carita Purwaka Caruban Nagari; its authenticity is doubtful: its paleography and use of Western rather than Javanese dates suggest in fact a twentieth-century origin for the text. See also the Indonesian translation in Sulendraningrat, Purwaka Tjaruban Nagari. For sixteenth-century Java, of course Cortesao, Suma Oriental, is a major source. From the seventeenth century onwards, important VOC documents are published in de Jonge and van Deventer, Opkomst van het Nederlandsch gezag, and Coolhaas and van GOOf, Generate missiven. Van Goens's reports are in de Graat; VijJ gezantschapsreizen van Rijklof van Goens. C. C. Berg's arguments concerning Senapati are found in several of his publications, of which the most important for this purpose is 'Twee nieuwe publicaties betreffende de geschiedenis en de geschiedschrijving van Mataram'. A reply is found in de GriaI; 'Historische betrouwbaarheid der Javaanse over- levering'. On Makasar see Pelras, 'Religion, tradition and the dynamics of Islamization' and 'Les premieres donnees occidentales concernant Celebes-Sud'; Noorduyn, 'Islamisering van Makasar'; Reid, 'Rise of Makasar'; Noorduyn, Kroniek van Wadjo'; and Stapel, Bonggaais verdrag. On the Makasarese and Balinese in the Lombok- Sumbawa area see de Graat; 'Lombok in de 17e eeuw'. Bali in the golden age of Ge!ge! is discussed in Vickers, Bali; and Creese, 'Balinese babad'. Chapter 5: Literary, Religious and Cultural Legacies There is a vast literature on the subjects covered in this chapter. Excellent, but already rather out of date, introductions to the scholarship on Malay and Javanese are in Teeuw and Emanuels, Studies on Malay and Bahasa Indonesia; and Uhlenbeck, Studies on the languages ofJava and Madura. Religious mdtters are discussed in Stohr and Zoetmulder, Religionen Indonesiens (also available in a French edition). NOTES AND REFERENCES 313 The best introduction to classical Malay literature is Winstedt, History oj classical Malay literature. On the seventeenth-century Acehnese mystics and their doctrines much has been written; see Lombard, Iskandar Muda;Johns, 'Malay Sufism', 'Islam in Southeast Asia' and 'Quranic exegesis'; Riddell, 'Earliest Quranic exegetical activity'; van Nieuwenhuijze,

  • A Review of Thee Kian Wie's Major
    Economics and Finance in Indonesia Vol. 61 No. 1, 2015 : 41-52 p-ISSN 0126-155X; e-ISSN 2442-9260 41 The Indonesian Economy from the Colonial Extraction Period until the Post-New Order Period: A Review of Thee Kian Wie’s Major Works Maria Monica Wihardjaa,∗, Siwage Dharma Negarab,∗∗ aWorld Bank Office Jakarta bIndonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Abstract This paper reviews some major works of Thee Kian Wie, one of Indonesia’s most distinguished economic historians, that spans from the Colonial period until the post-New Order period. His works emphasize that economic history can guide future economic policy. Current problems in Indonesia were resulted from past policy failures. Indonesia needs to consistently embark on open economic policies, free itself from "colonial period mentality". Investment should be made in rebuilding crumbling infrastructure, improving the quality of health and education services, and addressing poor law enforcement. If current corruption persists, Indone- sia could not hope to become a dynamic and prosperous country. Keywords: Economic History; Colonial Period; Industrialization; Thee Kian Wie Abstrak Tulisan ini menelaah beberapakarya besar Thee Kian Wie, salah satu sejarawan ekonomi paling terhormat di Indonesia, mulai dari periode penjajahan hingga periode pasca-Orde Baru. Karya Beliau menekankan bahwa sejarah ekonomi dapat memberikan arahan dalam perumusan kebijakan ekonomi mendatang. Permasalahan yang dihadapi Indonesia dewasa ini merupakan akibat kegagalan kebijakan masa lalu. In- donesia perlu secara konsisten menerapkan kebijakan ekonomi terbuka, membebaskan diri dari "mentalitas periode penjajahan". Investasi perlu ditingkatkan untuk pembangunan kembali infrastruktur, peningkatan kualitas layanan kesehatan dan pendidikan, serta pembenahan penegakan hukum. Jika korupsi saat ini berlanjut, Indonesia tidak dapat berharap untuk menjadi negara yang dinamis dan sejahtera.

  • Susan Blackburn and Sharon Bessell
    M arriageable Ag e : Political Debates on Early Marriage in Twentieth- C entury Indonesia Susan Blackburn and Sharon Bessell The purpose of this article is to show how the age of marriage, especially for girls, became a political issue in twentieth century Indonesia, and to investigate the changing intensity, focus, and participation in the debate over the issue. Compared with India, the incidence of very early marriage among Indonesian girls appears never to have been exceptionally high, yet among those trying to "modernize" Indonesia the fact that parents married off their daughters at or before the onset of puberty was considered a "social evil." Social reformers differed as to the reasons for their concern and as to what action should be taken and by whom. In particular there were strong disagreements about whether government intervention was either desirable or effective in raising the age of marriage. The age at which it is appropriate for girls to marry has been a contentious matter in many countries in recent centuries. In societies where marriage was considered to be the prerogative of families, the children themselves were rarely consulted and the age of marriage, or at least of betrothal, was likely to be quite young, before children could exert their own will. Although physical readiness for sexual intercourse and child­ bearing was a consideration, this was a matter to be supervised by adult kin, and the wedding could, if necessary, be timed so that it occurred separately from the consummation of marriage. Apart from families, the only other institutions directly concerned with marriage were likely to be religious ones.

  • From Paradise Lost to Promised Land: Christianity and the Rise of West
    School of History & Politics & Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) University of Wollongong From Paradise Lost to Promised Land Christianity and the Rise of West Papuan Nationalism Susanna Grazia Rizzo A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) of the University of Wollongong 2004 “Religion (…) constitutes the universal horizon and foundation of the nation’s existence. It is in terms of religion that a nation defines what it considers to be true”. G. W. F. Hegel, Lectures on the of Philosophy of World History. Abstract In 1953 Aarne Koskinen’s book, The Missionary Influence as a Political Factor in the Pacific Islands, appeared on the shelves of the academic world, adding further fuel to the longstanding debate in anthropological and historical studies regarding the role and effects of missionary activity in colonial settings. Koskinen’s finding supported the general view amongst anthropologists and historians that missionary activity had a negative impact on non-Western populations, wiping away their cultural templates and disrupting their socio-economic and political systems. This attitude towards mission activity assumes that the contemporary non-Western world is the product of the ‘West’, and that what the ‘Rest’ believes and how it lives, its social, economic and political systems, as well as its values and beliefs, have derived from or have been implanted by the ‘West’. This postulate has led to the denial of the agency of non-Western or colonial people, deeming them as ‘history-less’ and ‘nation-less’: as an entity devoid of identity. But is this postulate true? Have the non-Western populations really been passive recipients of Western commodities, ideas and values? This dissertation examines the role that Christianity, the ideology of the West, the religion whose values underlies the semantics and structures of modernisation, has played in the genesis and rise of West Papuan nationalism.

  • J. Noorduyn Bujangga Maniks Journeys Through Java; Topographical Data from an Old Sundanese Source
    J. Noorduyn Bujangga Maniks journeys through Java; topographical data from an old Sundanese source In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 138 (1982), no: 4, Leiden, 413-442 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com10/04/2021 01:16:49AM via free access J. NOORDUYN BUJANGGA MANIK'S JOURNEYS THROUGH JAVA: TOPOGRAPHICAL DATA FROM AN OLD SUNDANESE SOURCE One of the precious remnants of Old Sundanese literature is the story of Bujangga Manik as it is told in octosyllabic lines — the metrical form of Old Sundanese narrative poetry — in a palm-leaf MS kept in the Bodleian Library in Oxford since 1627 or 1629 (MS Jav. b. 3 (R), cf. Noorduyn 1968:460, Ricklefs/Voorhoeve 1977:181). The hero of the story is a Hindu-Sundanese hermit, who, though a prince (tohaari) at the court of Pakuan (which was located near present-day Bogor in western Java), preferred to live the life of a man of religion. As a hermit he made two journeys from Pakuan to central and eastern Java and back, the second including a visit to Bali, and after his return lived in various places in the Sundanese area until the end of his life. A considerable part of the text is devoted to a detailed description of the first and the last stretch of the first journey, i.e. from Pakuan to Brëbës and from Kalapa (now: Jakarta) to Pakuan (about 125 lines out of the total of 1641 lines of the incomplete MS), and to the whole of the second journey (about 550 lines).

  • POLITIK KOLONIAL DAN PERKEMBANGAN SENI TARI DI PURO PAKUALAMAN PADA MASA PEMERINTAHAN PAKU ALAM IV (1864-1878) Oleh : HY
    POLITIK KOLONIAL DAN PERKEMBANGAN SENI TARI DI PURO PAKUALAMAN PADA MASA PEMERINTAHAN PAKU ALAM IV (1864-1878) Oleh : HY. Agus Murdiyastomo ABSTRAK Pusat budaya di Yogyakarta selama ini yang lebih banyak diketahui oleh masyarakat adalah Kraton Kasultanan Yogyakarta, tetapi sesungguhnya selain Kraton Kasutanan masih terdapat pusat budaya yang lain yaitu Pura Paku Alaman. Di Kadipaten telah terlahir tokoh-tokoh yang sangat memperhatikan kelestarian budaya Jawa khususnya seni tari tradisi. Salah satunya adalah Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Aryo Paku Alam IV, yang pada masa ia berkuasa, budaya Barat yang dibawa oleh kaum kolonialis melanda daerah jajahan. Hadirnya budaya asing tentu sulit untuk ditolak. Namun demikian denga piawainya KGPAA Paku Alam IV, justru mengadopsi budaya Barat, tetapi ditampilkan dengan rasa dan estetika Jawa, dalam bentuk tari klasik. Sehingga pada masanya lahir repertoar tari baru yang memperkaya seni tari tradisi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perkembangan seni tari di Pura Pakualaman pada masa pemerintahan KGPAA Paku Alam IV, dan hal-hal apa yang melatarbelakangi penciptaannya. Dalam rangka mewujudkan rekonstruksi ini dilakukan dengan metode sejarah kritis, yang tahapannya meliputi Pertama, Heuristik, atau pencarian dan pengumpulan sumber data sejarah, yang dalam hal ini dilakukan di BPAD DIY, dan di Perpustakaan Pura Pakualaman. Di kedua lembaga tersebut tersimpan arsip tentang Paku Alaman, dan juga naskah- naskah yang berkaitan dengan penciptaan tari. Kedua, Kritik, atau pengujian terhadap sumber-sumber yang terkumpul, sumber yang telah terkumpul diuji dari segi fisik untuk memperoleh otentisitas, kemudian membandingkan informasi yang termuat dengan informasi dari sumber yang berbeda, untuk memperoleh keterpercayaan atau kredibilitas. Ketiga, Interpretasi yaitu informasi yang ada dikaji untuk diangkat fakta-fakta sejarahnya, yang kemudian dirangkai menjadi sebuah kisah sejarah.
