This is an odd book. An extensive and sometimes annotated bibliography, it is not a book in the sense of a narrative. However, if treated as a book in the traditional sense it leads the reader through a broad spectrum of feelings of amazement, curiosity and desire: amazement about the sheer volume, richness and detail of theliterature on Batavia/Jakarta; curiosity about the contents of certain publications or series of publications with attractive titles; and a feeling of desire immediately to begin an investigation into one of the appealing subjects stumbled upon while leafing through. The bibliography contains over 5000 titles classified into 42 broad subject categories. The vast majority of the publications consists of books, but the number of articles is also very substantial. Most of these titles (3500) were produced after 1950. The larger part of the publications are written in Indonesian, Dutch, and to a lesser extent English. But also publications in such languages as French, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, and many others were listed. Indexes of authors, of subjects and of titles make this bibliography easily accessible.
Culture, Power, and Authoritarianism in the Indonesian State is a critical history of cultural policy in one of the world’s most diverse nations across the tumultuous twentieth century. It charts the influence of momentous political changes on the cultural policies of successive states, including colonial government, Japanese occupation, the killing and repression of the left and their affiliates, and the return of representative government, and examines broader social changes like nationalism and consumer culture. The book uses the concept of authoritarian cultural policy, or cultural policy that was premised on increased state control, tracing its presence from the colonial era until today. Tod Jones’ use of historical and case study chapters captures the central state’s changing cultural policies and its diverse outcomes across Indonesia.

Kebudayaan Indonesia telah lama menjadi fokus perhatian Negara. Di bawah pemerintahan kolonial Belanda, pendudukan Jepang, dan pemerintahan sendiri, kebijakan budaya telah berupaya untuk mendefinisikan dan mendiseminasikan sebuah versi budaya yang terkait dengan bahasa, sejarah, aliansi, dan tujuan Negara. Seiring meningkatnya sumber daya dikendalikan oleh Negara, versi budaya nasional yang demikian itulah yang menyebar di seluruh Indonesia. Setiap warga Indonesia harus menyesuaikan diri dengan budaya Indonesia versi Negara. Budaya nasional yang demikian itu seharusnya tidak boleh diterima begitu saja tanpa sikap kritis. Kebudayaan dan Kekuasaan di Indonesia memetakan pengaruh perubahan poli...
Music of the Baduy People of Western Java: Singing is a Medicine by Wim van Zanten is about music and dance of the indigenous group of the Baduy, consisting of about twelve-thousand people living in western Java. It covers music for rice rituals, for circumcisions and weddings, and music for entertainment. The book includes many photographs and several discussed audio-visual examples that can be found on DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5170520. Baduy are suppposed to live a simple, ascetic life. However, there is a shortage of agricultural land and there are many temptations from the changing world around them. Little has been published on Baduy music and dance. Wim van Zanten’s book seeks to fill this lacuna and is based on short periods of fieldwork from 1976 to 2016.
Pendidikan adalah hak bagi warga negara yang harus dipenuhi oleh negara. Sebagaimana tertuang dalam Pembukaan Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945, salah satu mandat konstitusi didirikannya Negara Indonesia adalah dalam rangka mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa. Berangkat dari titik pijak tujuan kemerdekan, maka Pendidikan adalah sebuah keniscayaan yang pemenuhannya wajib diberikan oleh pemerintah kepada seluruh lapisan masyarakat tanpa terkecuali.
