The Blood of the People
Author: Anthony Reid
Publisher: NUS Press
ISBN: 9971696371
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
In northern Sumatra, as in Malaya, colonial rule embraced an extravagant array of sultans, rajas, datuks and uleebalangs. In Malaya the traditional Malay elite served as a barrier to evolutionary change and survived the transition to independence, but in Sumatra a wave of violence and killing wiped out the traditional elite in 1945-46. Anthony Reid's The Blood of the People, now available in a new edition, explores the circumstances of Sumatra's sharp break with the past during what has been labelled its "social revolution." The events in northern Sumatra were among the most dramatic episodes of Indonesia's national revolution, and brought about more profound changes even than in Java, from where the revolution is normally viewed. Some ethnic groups saw the revolution as a popular, peasant-supported movement that liberated them from foreign rule. Others, though, felt victimised by a radical, levelling agenda imposed by outsiders. Java, with a relatively homogeneous population, passed through the revolution without significant social change. The ethnic complexity of Sumatra, in contrast, meant that the revolution demanded and altogether new "Indonesian" identity to override the competing ethnic categories of the past.

Secret Trades, Porous Borders
Author: Eric Tagliacozzo
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300128126
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
Over the course of the half century from 1865 to 1915, the British and Dutch delineated colonial spheres, in the process creating new frontiers. This book analyzes the development of these frontiers in Insular Southeast Asia as well as the accompanying smuggling activities of the opium traders, currency runners, and human traffickers who pierced such newly drawn borders with growing success. The book presents a history of the evolution of this 3000-km frontier, and then inquires into the smuggling of contraband: who smuggled and why, what routes were favored, and how effectively the British and Dutch were able to enforce their economic, moral, and political will. Examining the history of states and smugglers playing off one another within a hidden but powerful economy of forbidden cargoes, the book also offers new insights into the modern political economies of Southeast Asia.

Book Description
Saudara YB Steven Sim sudah lama akrab dengan Hang Tuah, wira Malaysia dan Nusantara ini, selalu mengikuti dan menyumbang kepada wacananya, serta menambah sudut pandangannya sebagai warga Malaysia yang moden yang bangga dengan Hikayat besar ini. . . . Saya sangat teruja bahawa Saudara YB Steven Sim, dengan segala ghairahnya, turut menjadikan Hang Tuah simbol “Malaysia Baharu”, simbol untuk semua rakyat Malaysia. Profesor Dr Muhammad Haji Salleh, Sasterawan Negara Sebagai salah seorang ahli politik-sarjana yang menjadi harapan Malaysia hari ini, keterpesonaan Steven Sim terhadap budaya Melayu dan sejarah Melayu telah sedia masyhur diketahui umum. Dalam mengkaji dan menganalisis fenomena Hang Tuah, Steven Sim mengemukakan persoalan etnografi utama mengenai zaman ketika mana Melaka menguasai budaya dan perdagangan di seluruh laut Nusantara, yang berpotensi mengubah pandangan etno-nasionalistik moden mengenai kerancakan dunia kosmopolitan di mana Hang Tuah bukan sahaja tumbuh “membesar” malah turut “mencorakkannya”. Dato' Dr Ooi Kee Beng, Pengarah Eksekutif, Penang Institute Saya yakin ada beberapa orang sahaja pemimpin Melayu yang pernah membaca naskhah ini sehingga selesai. Seseorang pemimpin yang dapat membaca dan menelah fikiran bangsanya akan dapat melakukan yang lebih baik – berkhidmat – dan saya percaya itu sebabnya YB Steven Sim ingin berkongsikan apa yang beliau baca, dan kekagumannya kepada naskhah ini.
