Land reform has been an indisputable part of Indonesian revolution.
The consequent execution of development programmes for
nation-building have provoked intense hostility over territorial
rights. Global market forces in Indonesia have seen increasing
flows of transnational investments, technology and resources that
have resulted in great demand on sea and land spaces. In this
momentum of change, several aspects of rural culture including
indigenous populations, like the Orang Suku Laut (people of the
sea) of Riau have been deemed by the state architects of
development programmes to hinder progress. For generations, the sea
and coastal places have been the life and living spaces of the
Orang Suku Laut and they claim ownership to these territories based
upon customary laws. The developmental pressure thus generated has
led to intense struggles over territorial rights. It has also
raised issues concerning the social assimilation of indigenous
peoples as citizens, religious conversion and cultural identity.
Cynthia Chou discusses how Indonesian nation-building development
programmes have generated intense struggles over issues pertaining
to territorial rights, social assimilation of indigenous peoples as
citizens, religious conversion and cultural identity This book is a
stimulating read for those interested in Social and Cultural
Anthropology, Development Studies and Southeast Asian Studies.
