Contention has surrounded the status of minorities throughout
Indonesian history. Two broad polarities are evident: One inclusive
of minorities, regarding them as part of the nation's rich
complexity and a manifestation of its 'Unity in Diversity' motto
The other is exclusive, viewing with suspicion or disdain those
communities or groups that differ from the perceived majority.
State and community attitudes towards minorities have fluctuated
over time. Some periods have been notable for the acceptance of
minorities and protection of their rights, while others have been
marked by anti-minority discrimination, marginalisation and
sometimes violence. This book explores the complex historical and
contemporary dimensions of Indonesia's religious, ethnic, LGBT and
disability minorities from a range of perspectives, including
historical, legal, political, cultural, discursive and social. It
addresses fundamental questions about Indonesia's tolerance and
acceptance of difference, and examines the extent to which
diversity is embraced or suppressed.
