In Activist Archives Doreen Lee tells the origins, experiences, and
legacy of the radical Indonesian student movement that helped end
the thirty-two-year dictatorship in May 1998. Lee situates the
revolt as the most recent manifestation of student activists
claiming a political and historical inheritance passed down by
earlier generations of politicized youth. Combining historical and
ethnographic analysis of "Generation 98," Lee offers rich
depictions of the generational structures, nationalist sentiments,
and organizational and private spaces that bound these activists
together. She examines the ways the movement shaped new and
youthful ways of looking, seeing, and being-found in archival
documents from the 1980s and 1990s; the connections between
politics and place; narratives of state violence; activists'
experimental lifestyles; and the uneven development of democratic
politics on and off the street. Lee illuminates how the interaction
between official history, collective memory, and performance came
to define youth citizenship and resistance in Indonesia's
transition to the post-Suharto present.
