BUANG SABAR ARIF, tokoh ludruk yang melegenda di Malang. Tahun 2014, saya pernah mewawancarai Pak Buang di rumahnya di Dusun Krapyak Jaya RT 18 RW 4 Desa Krebetsenggrong Kecamatan Bululawang Kabupaten Malang. Julukan “Sakerah dari Malang Selatan” tentunya bukan kebetulan. Saat saya ke rumah Beliau, usia Pak Buang sudah 91 tahun. 52 tahun dari usianya, Pak Buang telah memerankan sosok Sakerah yang telah berurat nadi pada tubuhnya. Pak Buang kelihatan lebih muda dari usianya yang sudah sepuh. “Resepnya ya yang penting jarang susah. Tidak mikir mikir. Apa yang ada ya disyukuri, rejeki sendiri sudah ada yang ngatur.”
The Contributions to the Sociology of Language series features publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications. It addresses the study of language in society in its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches – theoretical and empirical – supplement and complement each other. The series invites the attention of scholars interested in language in society from a broad range of disciplines – anthropology, education, history, linguistics, political science, and sociology.

First published in 1978, The Indonesian Tragedy is a controversial book that argues that Indonesia’s lack of economic development is due to the blind attempt to force a Western economic model on a population, whose culture and psychology are unsuited to it. The author demonstrates the ‘Indonesian Tragedy’ not so much by argument, as by depicting the country as he experienced it day to day. In developing his conclusion, he draws on history, and the works of sociologists, some of whom he disagrees with. In this way he sheds light on the predicament of Indonesia and helps to illuminate a problem common to much of the Third World. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, journalism, and Southeast Asian studies.

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) is the most interesting phenomenon in contemporary Indonesian politics. Not only is it growing rapidly in membership and electoral support, it is also bringing a new and markedly different approach to Islamic politics, one which has no precedent in Indonesian history. Understanding PKS and analysing its political behaviour presents challenges to scholars and observers. This is partly due to the fact that the party represents a new trend within Indonesian Islam which has few parallels with preceding movements. Yon Machmudi has rendered us a valuable service. In this book, he provides a thoughtful and authoritative context for viewing PKS. He critiques the ex...
