Indonesia's wealth of natural resources is being exploited at
breakneck speed, and environmental awareness and knowledge among
the populace is limited. This book examines how young people learn
about the environment to see how education can help to develop
environmental awareness and avert vast environmental destruction,
not only in Indonesia, but also in the Global South more generally.
Based on in-depth studies conducted in the cities of Yogyakarta and
Surabaya, complemented with surveys of students in secondary
schools, Environmental Education in Indonesia examines educational
curricula, pedagogy and "green" activities to reveal what is
currently being done in schools to educate children about the
environment. The book investigates the shortcomings in environment
education, including underqualified teachers, the civil service
mentality, the still-pervasive chalk-and-talk pedagogy and the
effect of the examination system. It also analyses the role of
local government in supporting (or not) environmental education,
and the contribution of environmental NGOs. The book establishes
that young people are not currently being exposed to effective
environmental education, and the authors propose that the best and
most culturally appropriate way forward in Indonesia is to frame
pro-environment behaviour and responsibility as a form of
citizenship, and specifically that environmental education should
be taught as a separate subject. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of contemporary Indonesia and
Southeast Asia, education for sustainability and environmental
education, as well as sustainability and sustainable development
more generally. The Open Access version of this book, available at

The youth demographic is a large and growing cohort in Indonesia,
and adolescents embody the currents of social change. Throughout
the twentieth century they were significant agents of social
protest leading to social and political transformation. This book
looks at the importance of adolescents in contemporary Indonesia,
and how they are spearheading not just globalisation and a growing
consumer youth culture, but also the Islamisation movement. The
book explores both the inner worlds and social selves of Indonesian
adolescents. It presents an in-depth knowledge of Indonesian
society and culture in various parts of Indonesia, and discusses
national patterns and trends. Grounded in two field sites, the book
enables an analysis of young people's local ethnic and religious
identities and their commitment to the Indonesian nation-state. It
goes on to look at the physical age bracket of youth, the
definitions used by the Indonesian state and other agencies, and
the perceptions of youth themselves about adolescence and
adulthood. Providing a comprehensive study of young people in
contemporary Indonesia, the book addresses gender relations, the
importance of education for youth and youth engagement with popular
culture, and the moral issue concerning the sexual propriety of
young people. It is a useful contribution for students and
academics of Asian Studies, Sociology and Cultural Studies.

This book examines the meaning of work for women in contemporary
Indonesia. It takes a broad definition of work in order to
interrogate assumptions about work and economic activity, focusing
on what women themselves see as their work, which includes not only
paid employment, home life and child care, but also activities
surrounding ritual, healing and religious life. It analyses the key
issues, including the contrasts between 'new' and 'old' forms of
work, the relationship between experiences of migration and work,
and the ways in which religion - especially Islam - shapes
perceptions and practice of work. It discusses women's work in a
range of different settings, both rural and urban, and in different
locations, covering Sumatra, Bali, Lombok, Java, Sulawesi and
Kalimantan. A wide range of types of employment are considered:
agricultural labour, industrial work and new forms of work in the
tertiary sector such as media and tourism, demonstrating how
capitalism, globalization and local culture together produce
gendered patterns of work with particular statuses and identities.
It address the question of the meaning and valuing of women's
'traditional' work, be it agricultural labour, domestic work or
other kinds of reproductive labour, challenging assumptions of
women as 'only' mothers and housewives, and demonstrating how women
can negotiate new definitions of 'housewife' by mobilizing kinship
and village relations to transcend conventional categories such as
wage labour and the domestic sphere. Overall, this book is an
important study of the meaning of work for women in Indonesia.

This book brings together the work of scholars from around the
world in a consideration of how gender is contested in various
parts of Asia - in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the
Philippines. Part I of this collection explores notions of agency
in relation to women's domestic and everyday lives. While 'agency'
is one of the key terms in contemporary social science, scholarship
on women in Asia recently has focussed on women's political
activism. Women's private lives have been neglected in this new
scholarship. This volume has a special focus on women's relational
and emotional lives, domestic practices, marriage, singlehood and
maternity. Papers consider how women negotiate enhanced space and
reputations, challenging negative representations and entrenched
models of intra-family and intimate relations. There is also a
warning about too free feminist expectations of agency and the
repercussions of the exercise of agency. The three essays in Part
II examine the historical construction of masculinities in colonial
and postcolonial South and Southeast Asia, and the ways that
manhood is interpreted, experienced and performed in daily life in
the past and in present times. They highlight the centrality and
continued relevance of masculinity to analyses of empire and nation
and underscore the highly gendered and (hetero)sexualized nature of
political, military, and economic institutions. Collectively, the
essays explore a wide range of competing articulations and
experiences of gender within Asia, emphasising the historical and
contemporary plurality and variability of femininity and
masculinity, and the dynamic and intersectional nature of gender
identities and relations. This book was published as a special
issue of Asian Studies Review.

This book analyses the processes by which conservative and
introverted Balinese villagers have been incorporated into the
Indonesian nation-state. It explores the changing social relations
of villagers in their transformation from being subjects of their
local 'king' to anonymous citizens of the Republic of Indonesia.
Although the national unity of Indonesia is now hotly contested,
the Suharto regime was long-lived and a development success story.
This book is significant because it shows how we can understand
Indonesia in its efforts to become a nation-state. While not in any
way attempting to apologize for or glorify the Suharto regime, this
study is unusual in showing that the experience of many Indonesian
citizens was not of a menacing and coercive state but of a
modernizing and developmentalist nation-state.
