Book Synopsis Nationalism and Regionalism in a Colonial Context by : David E.F. Henley
Download or read book Nationalism and Regionalism in a Colonial Context written by David E.F. Henley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses Minahasan regional nationalism in the period up to 1942. Attention is given to precolonial antecedents, to the transformations brought about by compulsory coffee cultivation, Christian mission activity and Western education, to the role of local representative councils, to the privileged position which Minahasans came to occupy relative to other Indonesians within the colonial state, and to the ambiguous relationship between Minahasa and the Indonesian nationalist movement. Ideas and models drawn from the theoretical literature on nationalism are used throughout the study to illuminate the processes described. The concluding chapter also includes brief comparisons with other Indonesian regions and with the Philippines, together with an epilogue summarizing the developments of the Japanese occupation and the revolutionary period.
Book Synopsis Forgotten Islands of Indonesia by : Nico De Jonge
Download or read book Forgotten Islands of Indonesia written by Nico De Jonge and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful book contains fascinating text and over 170 unique photographs of one of the most interesting but least well known cultures in the Indonesian Archipelago. The traditional art of Maluku Tenggara, the Southeast Moluccas, is among the most sophisticated and expressive in the world. Simple tools were used to create masterpieces in wood, stone, textiles and precious metals, while the plaited work and earthenware of these islands are also of the very highest quality. the colonial period plunged the region into hopeless isolation. During the harsh rule of the Dutch many traditional woks of art, especially ancestor statues, were destroyed. Later, collectors stripped the islands of their masterpieces and the culture of Maluka Tenggara was forgotten. Forgotten Islands of Indonesia presents a unique survey of the finest examples of Southeast Moluccan art. This volume contains many photographs and descriptions which have never before been published. Set against the cultural background and supplemented by rare photographs taken in the field, the material culture of Maluku Tenggara, which is regarded as one of the most fascinating areas of Indonesia, is presented here comprehensively for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first of two volumes documents the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Indonesia from 1808, when, after two centuries, priests were again allowed in the Dutch colony, until 1903, when the the number of Catholics, only 27,000 at the time, started to grow spectacularly. The story of slow growth among the indigenous population, with many setbacks, is illustrated by 98 documents, which are included in their complete format and original language (mostly Dutch). Half of the book contains a lenghty introduction in which the history of Catholic missionary effort is spelled out, with, of course, a lot of attention for the islands where the Catholic clergy was actively engaged in proselytizing. This introduction is the first survey in English on the subject.
Book Synopsis A Demographic History of the Indonesian Archipelago by : H. Gooszen
Download or read book A Demographic History of the Indonesian Archipelago written by H. Gooszen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author offers a reconstruction of regional variations in the growth of the indigenous population of Indonesia from 1880 till the Japanese invasion in 1942. The demographic components of population growth (migration, fertility and mortality) are not only presented as demographic statistics but also interpreted as the aggregate effects of major events in the lives of indigenous people. Hence, migration is described in relation to employment opportunities, the social structure, and tradition; fertility is examined in the light of aspects of family formation, including marriage customs and birth control practices; and mortality is linked to epidemics and Western health care.

Download or read book The Global Coffee Economy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, 1500–1989 written by William Gervase Clarence-Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-16 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coffee beans grown in Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam, or one of the other hundred producing lands on five continents remain a palpable and long-standing manifestation of globalization. For five hundred years coffee has been grown in tropical countries for consumption in temperate regions. This 2003 volume brings together scholars from nine countries who study coffee markets and societies over the last five centuries in fourteen countries on four continents and across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with a special emphasis on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The chapters analyse the creation and function of commodity, labour, and financial markets; the role of race, ethnicity, gender, and class in the formation of coffee societies; the interaction between technology and ecology; and the impact of colonial powers, nationalist regimes, and the forces of the world economy in the forging of economic development and political democracy.

Book Synopsis A Demographic History of the Indonesian Archipelago, 1880-1942 by : A. J. Gooszen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that population growth in the final decades of colonial rule foreshadowed the accelerated growth observed in post-colonial Asia. Little is known, however, about the actual rates of growth and the considerable regional variations in demographic processes characterizing those final decades. The author offers a reconstruction of regional variations in the growth of the indigenous population of Indonesia from 1880 till the Japanese invasion in 1942. The demographic components of population growth (migration, fertility and mortality) are not only presented as demographic statistics but also interpreted as the aggregate effects of major events in the lives of indigenous people. Hence, migration is described in relation to employment opportunities, the social structure, and tradition; fertility is examined in the light of aspects of family formation, including marriage customs and birth control practices; and mortality is linked to epidemics and Western health care.
Book Synopsis Leadership and Social Mobility in a Southeast Asian Society by : M Schouten
Download or read book Leadership and Social Mobility in a Southeast Asian Society written by M Schouten and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare and wealth were the major means for acquiring status in precolonial Minahasa (North Sulawesi). The author argues that the quest for power and prestige is an ongoing concern among Minahasans. Based on extensive anthropological and historical research, this book focuses on patterns and processes of social mobility. The character of leadership in tribal society, then under the colonial bureaucracy, and later in modern Indonesia are discussed. Besides political changes, changes in economic conditions and in religion have had a considerable influence on mobility. These processes are illustrated by a case study of a local community.
