Political and Legal Transformations of an Indonesian Polity is a
long-term study of the historical transformations of the
Minangkabau polity of nagari, property relations and the
ever-changing dynamic relationships between Minangkabau matrilineal
adat law, Islamic law and state law. While the focus is on the
period since the fall of President Suharto in 1998, the book charts
a long history of political and legal transformations before and
after Indonesia's independence, in which the continuities are as
notable as the changes. It also throws light on the transnational
processes through which legal and political ideas spread and
acquire new meanings. The multi-temporal historical approach
adopted is also relevant to the more general discussions of the
relationship between anthropology and history, the creation of
customary law, identity construction, and the anthropology of
colonialism.
