This book examines the history of state formation in postcolonial
Indonesia by starting with the death of Jan Djong, an activist and
a former village head in the little town of Maumere. It
historicizes contemporary debates on citizenship in the
postcolonial world. Citizenship has been called the "organizing
principle of state-society relations in modern states".
Democratization is today most intense in the non-Western,
post-colonial world. Yet "real" citizenship seems largely absent
there. Only a few rights-claiming, autonomous, and individualistic
citizens celebrated in mainstream literature exist in post-colonial
countries. In reflecting on one concrete story to examine the core
dilemmas facing the study of citizenship in postcolonial settings,
this book challenges ethnocentricity found within current scholarly
work on citizenship in Europe and North America and addresses
issues of institutional fragility, political violence, as well as
legitimacy and aspirations to freedom in non-Western cultures.
