    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Christopher R. Foertsch for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on June 3, 2016. Title: Educational Migration in Indonesia: An Ethnography of Eastern Indonesian Students in Malang, Java. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ David A. McMurray This research explores the experience of the growing number of students from Eastern Indonesia who attend universities on Java. It asks key questions about the challenges these often maligned students face as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities exposed to the dominant culture of their republic during their years of education. Through interviews and observations conducted in Malang, Java, emergent themes about this group show their resilience and optimism despite discrimination by their Javanese hosts. Findings also reveal their use of social networks from their native islands as a strategy for support and survival. ©Copyright by Christopher R.

  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

Introduction 1. As is generally known, the term 'Malay' is used for a wide range of linguistic varieties (Steinhauer 1980, 1987, forthcoming; de Vries 1980): it covers structurally distinct standardized varieties (Indonesian, Malaysian), dialects and dialect chains (along the east coast of Sumatra, the coastal areas of Borrieo and in the Malay peninsula), and, finally, a number of pidginized varieties (such as Bazaar Malay) and 'creoles'. The latter arose in urbanized centres where people from different linguistic backgrounds met and settled. These people presumably used a reduced form of Malay as their common means of communication, which subse- quently became the mother tongue of the next generations, again devel- oping into a fully fledged language. One such creole arose in Ambon town some 400 years ago (cf. Steinhauer forthcoming).2 This Ambonese Malay (henceforth AM) is only distantly related to the many Austronesian local vernaculars which are still spoken in most of the villages throughout the Moluccas (cf. Blust 1978; Collins 1983, 1985; Ekris 1864-65; Hoëvell 1876, 1877; Stresemann 1927). In many villages of the Ambon-Lease archipelago (which comprises the islands of Ambon, Saparua, Nusa Laut and Haruku) the use of these so-called i 1 The research for this article was supported by the Foundation for Linguistic Research, which is funded by the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research, ZWO (project number G.

  • 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.

History department, Faculty of Humaniora, Surabaya, Indonesia 2 Universitas Hasanuddin, History department, Faculty of Humaniora, Makassar, Indonesia 3Universitas Negeri Malang. Physics department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Malang, Indonesia Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] In the history of Indonesia recorded the most intense SARA (discrimination based on tribe, religion, race, and intergroup) conflict in the region of the Moluccas or Maluku Islands that took place since 1999. The conflict which involved local Muslims and Christians was formally ended by the Treaty Malino I and II in 2002 and 2003 which presented figures from both conflicting religions. Before the agreement was reached, many emotional approaches have been given. After the conflict was over, Pela Gandong tradition was revived with the aim of strengthening relations between countries (villages) throughout the Maluku Islands. Pela Gandong is derived from two words in Moluccan language, Pela and Gandong; Pela means bond and unity, while Gandong means biological. This study uses qualitative approach as the method of research, with the data obtained through in-depth interviews and the concept of ‘live in’ on ethnographic studies. The findings of this theory have theoretical implications on the concept of conflict from Lewis A. Coser. Through the pattern of conflict resolution, Pela Gandong is hoped to be used as a reference to solve SARA conflicts in Indonesia.

  • THE BLOODSHED in NORTH HALMAHERA: Roots, Escalation, and Reconciliation
    THE BLOODSHED IN NORTH HALMAHERA: Roots, Escalation, and Reconciliation USMAN1 Abstract This paper aims to explain the conflict on North Maluku Island or North Halmahera in 1999 to be more specific. When compared with the conflict in Ambon, the conflict in North Halmahera is much greater in terms of the number of victims and material losses. There are several factors that influenced the conflict such as politics, economics and religion. It seems that politics and religion were the dominant underlying factors of the conflict.At that time, the mass media did not report the conflict effectively, so that the resolution of the conflict came too late and the conflict escalated and spread to the entire region of North Maluku. The most fundamental thing causing the conflict was associated with regional growth (pemekaran), namely the emergence of a new sub-district within the existing sub-district of Kao. The new sub-district was created by the Makian, who are migrants from the island of Kie Besi in North Maluku. They pushed the government to establish a new sub-district of Makian Daratan within the sub-district of Kao. The Pagu people,natives to the area, rejected the regional growth. There was a demonstration that ended in a fight between the Pagu and the Makian. Coincidentally, most of the Pagu are Christian and all of theMakian areMuslim. This led to religious issues becoming a factor with certain parties. As a result, this was a horizontal conflict wrapped with religious issues. In terms of methodology, this paper was written using a qualitative approach that produces descriptive data about the conflicts in North Halmahera.

  • Dating of Neogene Igneous Rocks in the Halmahera Region: Arc Initiation and Development
    Dating of Neogene igneous rocks in the Halmahera region: arc initiation and development SIMON BAKER & JEFFREY MALAIHOLLO SE Asia Research Group, Department of Geological Sciences, University College, London WC1E 6BT, UK Abstract: Potassium-argon ages of Neogene to Recent igneous rocks from the Halmahera region record a history of intra-oceanic arc development since the late Middle Miocene following an earlier phase of collisional plutonism. Arc formation from the Middle Miocene onwards was due to the east-directed subduction of the Molucca Sea plate beneath the Philippine Sea plate as it arrived at the Eurasian margin. The distribution of ages within the Neogene arc indicates a northward migration of volcanic activity during the Late Miocene to Pliocene. Results of the dating work show that after collision with the Australian margin at c. 22 Ma there was a period of volcanic quiescence and limestone deposition before a new arc formed. This arc began erupting at around 11 Ma on Obi as a result of subduction of the Molucca Sea plate. Initiation of subduction is thought to have occurred around 15-17 Ma and may have been responsible for disturbing potassium-argon ages of pre-Neogene rocks. Dates from fresh rocks show that the volcanic front migrated northwards through Bacan and Halmahera throughout the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene. Limestone deposition was curtailed as arc activity migrated north while volcanism died out from the south. No Neogene volcanism younger than 8 Ma is observed in the Obi area while on Bacan subduction-related volcanism ceased at c. 2 Ma. Late Pliocene crustal deformation caused a 30-40 km westward shift of the volcanic front.
