  • Bangsawan Prampoewan Enlightened Peranakan Chinese Women from Early Twentieth Century Java
    422 WacanaWacana Vol. Vol.18 No. 18 2No. (2017): 2 (2017) 422-454 Bangsawan prampoewan Enlightened Peranakan Chinese women from early twentieth century Java Didi Kwartanada ABSTRACT The end of the nineteenth century witnessed paradox among the Chinese in colonial Java. On one hand, they were prospering economically, but were nonetheless held in contempt by the Dutch, encountered legal discrimination and faced challenges if they wanted to educate their children in European schools. Their marginal position motivated them do their utmost to become “civilized subjects”, on a par with Europeans, but they were also inspired to reinvent their Chinese identity. This contribution will highlight role played by “enlightened” Chinese, the kaoem moeda bangsa Tjina. Central to this movement were the Chinese girls known to the public as bangsawan prampoewan (the noblewomen), who wrote letters the newspaper and creating a gendered public sphere. They also performed western classical music in public. Considering the inspirational impact of bangsawan prampoewan’s enlightening achievements on non-Chinese women, it is appropriate to include them into the narrative of the history of the nation’s women’s movements. KEYWORDS Chinese; women; modernity; progress; newspapers; Semarang; Surabaya; western classical music; Kartini. Didi Kwartanada studies history of the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia, especially Java. He is currently the Director of the Nation Building Foundation (NABIL) in Jakarta and is preparing a book on the history of Chinese identity cards in Indonesia. His publications include The encyclopedia of Indonesia in the Pacific War (Leiden: Brill, 2009) as co-editor and contributor, and the most recent work Tionghoa dalam keindonesiaan; Peran dan kontribusi bagi pembangunan bangsa (3 vols; Jakarta: Yayasan Nabil, 2016) as managing editor cum contributor.

    BAB IV KIPRAH ABDUL RAHMAN BASWEDAN DALAM MEMPERJUANGAN KEMERDEKAAN INDONESIA TAHUN 1934- 1947 A. Peran Abdul Rahman Baswedan Pada Masa Kolonial Belanda Tahun 19341942 Abdul Rahman Baswedan lahir ditengah-tengah masyarakat yang diisolasi oleh pemerintah kolonial, namun pergaulan yang ia rintis jauh melampaui batas-batas etnisnya, Ia bergaul erat dengan kawan-kawan dari golongan Tionghoa, terutama dengan sesama aktifis. Abdul Rahman Baswedan berkawan baik dengan Liem Koen Hian pendiri Partai Tionghoa Indonesia (PTI) yang kemudian menginspirasinya untuk mendirikan Partai Arab Indonesia (PAI) suatu saat nanti. Sejak muda A.R. Baswedan kerap berkomunikasi dengan siapapun dari kalangan manapun karena ia tidak pernah membeda-bedakan seseorangan untuk diajak berteman dan 91 92 bertukar pikiran.1Abdul Rahman Baswedan banyak belajar tentang keindonesiaan semenjak berkenalan dengan tokoh nasionals yaitu Dr. Sutomo. Di tambah lagi dengan mondoknya dalam keluarga tokoh Partai Syarikat Islam (PSI) Soerowijono.2 Sebelum abad ke-20, lingkungan kehidupan untuk masing-masing etnis dibedakan satu dengan yang lainnya oleh pemerintah kolonial Belanda yang menerapkan kebijakan politik segregasi yaitu membagi penduduk menjadi tiga golongan berdasarkan rasnya, kelas paling rendah adalah Inheemschen (atau Inlender), golongan bumi putra (pribumi) ; diatasnya adalah Vreemede Oosterlingen (Timur Asing ) yang meliputi suku Arab ,Tionghoa, India, dan yang paling tinggi adalah golongan warga kulit putih yaitu Eropa, Amerika, Jepang. Dimasukanya orang-orang Arab ke dalam golongan Timur Asing Vreemde Oosterlingen, mereka sering mendapat perlakuan yang diskriminatif dari penguasa Eropa.3Setatus 1 Didi Kwartanada, “Dari Timur Asing ke orang Indonesia :Pemuda Tionghoa dan Arab dalam Pergerakan Nasional (1900-1942).” Perisma: Jurnal ,Vol. 30. 2 (Agustus 2011),p. 31 2Muhamamad Husnil, Melunasi Janji Kemerdekaan Indonesia Biografi Anis Rasyid Baswedan,( Jakarta: Zaman, 2014), p.

    VERITAS 10/2 (Oktober 2009) 259-284 ORANG TIONGHOA DALAM NEGARA INDONESIA YANG DIBAYANGKAN: ANALISIS PERCakapan Para PENDIRI BANGSA dalam Sidang-sidang BPUPKI dan PPKI MARKUS D. L. DAWA PENDAHULUAN Pada 1995, Institut DIAN/Interfidei menerbitkan sebuah buku yang sebagian besar berisi makalah yang didiskusikan dalam seminar bertajuk “Konfusianisme di Indonesia,” yang diadakan pada tahun sebelumnya oleh Institut DIAN/Interfidei juga. Judul buku itu adalah Konfusianisme di Indonesia: Pergulatan Mencari Jati Diri.1 Buku ini memang khusus bicara soal Konfusianisme di Indonesia. Namun, percakapan tentang Konfusianisme tidak bisa dilepaskan dari percakapan tentang orang-orang Tionghoa, yang sebagian besar memeluk keyakinan ini. Karena itu, bicara tentang pergulatan Konfusianisme yang mencari jati dirinya di bumi Indonesia tidak bisa tidak juga menyentuh para pemeluknya, orang-orang Tionghoa. Buku itu hanya salah satu dari sekian banyak buku yang pernah ditulis tentang orang-orang Tionghoa. Sejak terbitnya buku itu, persoalan siapa dan di mana orang Tionghoa dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara Indonesia pun tidak pernah selesai dibicarakan. Tiga tahun setelah buku itu diterbitkan, menyusul jatuhnya rezim Orde Baru pada 1998, terjadi kerusuhan hebat di beberapa kota di Indonesia, yang mana salah satu korbannya adalah orang-orang Tionghoa. Terlepas dari pahit-getirnya peristiwa itu, bagi orang-orang Tionghoa, kerusuhan itu hanyalah sekadar letupan di permukaaan dari isu yang sebenarnya belum pernah tuntas diselesaikan, yaitu soal tempat atau

  • The Oei Tiong Ham Concern and the Change of Regimes in Indonesia, 1931–1950
    CHAPTER EIGHT THE OEI TIONG HAM CONCERN AND THE CHANGE OF REGIMES IN INDONESIA, 1931–1950 Peter Post Introduction The central decades of the twentieth century posed tremendous chal- lenges for ethnic Chinese family firms in Indonesia. During this period the late colonial Dutch regime was forcefully replaced by a short-lived but highly significant Japanese military administration and followed by the independent Republic of Indonesia. Each of the regime transi- tions was accompanied by widespread anti-Chinese violence resulting in many deaths and great material damage to Chinese shops, trading firms, manufacturing industries, and agricultural enterprises. Since each of the regimes professed different economic policies and created highly different sets of economic institutions (partly because of the changes in the global economic environment, partly because of different ideolo- gies), ethnic Chinese firms were forced to adapt and adjust themselves constantly in order to sustain their businesses. Some were successful, others failed. The mechanisms underlying the various Chinese busi- ness responses towards the enforced institutional changes during these crucial decades in Indonesian history have so far hardly been studied, let alone understood. The major reason seems to be that most writ- ings on the ethnic Chinese experience during the Japanese military administration and the Sukarno regime have used political frameworks, rather than business perspectives. The powerful nation-state paradigm fitted the indigenous bourgeoisies and U.S. hegemonizing efforts in the region. In the post-war debates on modernization, development and nation-state building simplified dichotomic frameworks ruled the dice, and within these frameworks no need was felt to delve deeper into the experiences of the ethnic Chinese business elites, since they were simply seen as collaborators and profiteers of an unjust colonial order and exploiters of the indigenous populations, actually preventing their emancipation rather than supporting it.
