Contributing to identity formation in ethnically and religiously
diverse postcolonial societies, this book examines the role played
by creole identity in Indonesia, and in particular its capital,
Jakarta. While, on the one hand, it facilitates transethnic
integration and promotes a specifically postcolonial sense of
common nationhood due to its heterogeneous origins, creole groups
of people are often perceived ambivalently in the wake of
colonialism and its demise, on the other. In this book, Jacqueline
Knoerr analyzes the social, historical, and political contexts of
creoleness both at the grassroots and the State level, showing how
different sections of society engage with creole identity in order
to promote collective identification transcending ethnic and
religious boundaries, as well as for reasons of self-interest and
ideological projects.
