Feeling Threatened
On the tense relations and mutual suspicions between Christians and Muslims.
Indonesia
This book traces the beginning of the process of nation-formation, the struggle for independence, the hopeful beginning of the new nation-state of Indonesia only to be followed by hard and difficult ways to remain true to the ideals of independence. In the process Indonesia with its sprawling archipelago and its multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation has to undergo various types of crisis and internal conflicts, but the ideals that have been nurtured since the beginning when a new nation began to be visualized remain intact. Some changes in the interpretation may have taken place and some deviations here and there can be noticed but the literal meaning of the ideals continues to be the guiding light. In short this is a history of a nation in the continuing effort to retain the ideals of its existence.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
ÒIÕm happy to have been a part of history, however small my role was.Ó The words of Wardiman Djojonegoro reveal Indonesian history the way only a man who worked alongside Ali Sadikin, B. J. Habibie and Soeharto can. The modest 85-year-old, a former education minister and current foundation chairman at the Habibie Center, recalls the younger days of a Òbig villageÓ Jakarta and says it was the countryÕs third president who taught him the keys to national development. This is what Peter Zack, a reporter for the Jakarta Globe, wrote on 18 April 2009. In the present English translation of his 2014 memoir, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Reminiscences of Working with Three Great Indones...
Indonesian Houses
The traditional houses and settlements of the several hundred ethnic groups of Indonesia are extremely varied and all have their own unique history. Underlying this rich diversity are fundamental similarities rooted in the ancient heritage that is shared by all the peoples in the Indonesian field of study. The multiplicity of ways in which this heritage is given shape in each local situation bears witness to an amazing creativity in adapting to regional circumstances and social changes. Inter-ethnic comparison of the architectural structures is a way to arrive at a better understanding of both the shared traditions and the diverging developments. In many cases, the variety of house forms wil...
Muslim Papua
Papua dulu bernama Nuu Waar, menurut orang Islam, memiliki sejarah yang panjang terkait keberadaan umat Islam di sana. Kesultanan Tidore, Ternate, Bacan, bahkan Kesultanan di Samudera Pasai, memiliki ikatan sejarah dengan Bumi Cenderawasih ini. Sebelum agama-agama lain datang umat Islam dari kesultanan-kesultanan tersebut telah lebih dulu berada di sana dan membangun tatatan sosial budaya dan sistem-sistem sosial lainnya. Karena itu, tak heran jika di Papua banyak didapati masjid-masjid tua, perkampungan-perkampungan tua yang dihuni oleh umat Islam, bahkan juga ditemukan mushaf Al-Qur'an yang usianya sudah ratusan tahun. Raja Ampat misalnya, kawasan yang sangat terkenal di dunia dengan keind...
ETNIK, ELITE DAN INTEGRASI NASIONAL
Buku ini tidaklah sekedar berkisah tentang peristiwa sosial politik dari sebuah provinsi, yang mungkin pernah dikenal sebagai daerah kelahiran sekian banyak tokoh nasional, tetapi juga memberikan dimensi struktural perbandingan dengan daerah-daerah lain di Republik tercinta ini. Aspek dan corak dinamika sosial politik yang dibicarakan bisa juga dijadikan sebagai bahan pertanyaan ketika daerah lain hendak ditelaah. Dengan buku ini Brigjen (Purnawirawan) Dr. Saafroedin Bahar telah mempersembahkan kontribusi yang berharga bukan saja bagi pengembangan pengetahuan serta pendalaman pemahaman tentang daerah tertentu, tetapi juga memberikan comparative perspective yang mendalam tentang corak dinamik...
