Beyond Borders: Indians, Australians and the Indonesian Revolution,
1939 to 1950 rediscovers an intense internationalism - and charts
its loss - in the Indonesian Revolution. Momentous far beyond
Indonesia itself, and not just for elites, generals, or diplomats,
the Indonesian anti-colonial struggle from 1945 to 1949 also became
a powerful symbol of hope at the most grassroots levels in India
and Australia. As the news flashed across crumbling colonial
borders by cable, radio, and photograph, ordinary men and women
became caught up in in the struggle. Whether seamen, soldiers,
journalists, activists, and merchants, Indonesian independence
inspired all of them to challenge colonialism and racism. And the
outcomes were made into myths in each country through films,
memoirs, and civic commemorations. But as heroes were remembered,
or invented, this 1940s internationalism was buried behind the
hardening borders of new nations and hostile Cold War blocs, only
to reemerge as the basis for the globalisation of later years.
