Despite the considerable expansion of scholarly studies of
Minangkabau society in recent years, the paucity of historical
research on West Sumatra is still notable. Especially is this so
for the nineteenth century, where, apart from the new perspectives
provided in Christine Dobbin's series of articles on the Padri
Wars, virtually nothing has been published during the past decade.
A significant study dealing with this period that certainly merited
publication was the 1971 University of Wisconsin dissertation of
Elizabeth E. Graves, which, following her revision, we are now
pleased to bring out in our Monograph Series. In this revision Dr.
Graves was not able to draw on Dobbin's work and other germane
material published during the last few years, but most of the data
she has marshaled and analyzed cannot be found in other published
sources, and there is no doubt that her monograph fills many of the
extensive gaps in our knowledge of nineteenth century Minangkabau
society and its interaction with Dutch political and economic
power. Moreover, those familiar with Taufik Abdullah's classic
study, Schools and Politics: The Kaum Muda in West Sumatra
(1927-1933), will find an excellent complement in her chapters on
the development of secular education during this earlier period. In
publishing this study, the Cornell Modern Indonesia Project is
confident that it provides an important addition to the regional
dimension of Indonesian history and illuminating insights into the
shaping of nineteenth century Minangkabau society and the way its
character set the stage for better known developments in the
present century.- George McT. Kahin
