Buku ini membahas secara mendalam tentang pikiran-pikiran filsafat Pancasila dari dua filsuf besar, yakni Prof., Dr. Notonagoro dan Prof., Dr. N. Drijarkara, SJ. Keduanya tidak diragukan lagi sebagai filsuf yang memberikan kontribusi besar bagi perumusan atau pengembangan filsafat Pancasila. Dengan latar belakang pendidikan filsafat dan sosio-kultural yang berbeda, membandingkan pemikiran kedua filsuf ini memberikan pemahaman yang mendalam tentang filsafat Pancasila. Notonagoro dengan pendekatan esensialistik-nya berhasil merumuskan hakikat filsafat Pancasila yang besifat mutlak dan universal, sedangkan Drijarkara dengan pendekatan fenomenologi-eksistensialistik-nya berhasil membuktikan bahwa Pancasila merupakan cerminan kodrat manusia sebagai makhluk sosial. Selain menawarkan rekonstruktif atas filsafat Pancasila, buku ini juga menyajikan usaha untuk mengontekstualisasikan filsafat Pancasila dalam kehidupan demokrasi Indonesia.
The Chinese in Indonesia form a significant minority of about three percent of the population, and have played a disproportionately important role in the country. Given that Chinese Indonesians are not seen as indigenous to the country and are consistently defined against Indonesian nationalism, most studies on the community concentrate on examining their ambivalent position as Indonesia's perennial "internal outsider." Chinese Indonesians Reassessed argues for the need to dislodge this narrow nationalistic approach and adopt fresh perspectives which acknowledge the full complexity of ethnic relations within the country. The focus of the book extends beyond Java to explore the historical dev...
This is an open access book. It has been two years since the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world. This has more or less left a mark of memories and trauma for more or fewer people.

Breakthroughs in education and social science are the most strategic ways to build and enhance human capacity to solve problems, environmental and social problems...
"A specter lurks in the house of music, and it goes by the name of race," write Ronald Radano and Philip Bohlman in their introduction. Yet the intimate relationship between race and music has rarely been examined by contemporary scholars, most of whom have abandoned it for the more enlightened notions of ethnicity and culture. Here, a distinguished group of contributors confront the issue head on. Representing an unusually broad range of academic disciplines and geographic regions, they critically examine how the imagination of race has influenced musical production, reception, and scholarly analysis, even as they reject the objectivity of the concept itself. Each essay follows the lead of the substantial introduction, which reviews the history of race in European and American, non-Western and global musics, placing it within the contexts of the colonial experience and the more recent formation of "world music." Offering a bold, new revisionist agenda for musicology in a postmodern, postcolonial world, this book will appeal to students of culture and race across the humanities and social sciences.
Although Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world and home to an estimated 44 million Indonesians, its musical arts and cultures have not been the subject of a book-length study until now. Documenting and explaining the ethnographic, cultural, and historical contexts of Sumatra's performing arts, Musical Journeys in Sumatra also traces the changes in their style, content, and reception from the early 1970s onward. Having dedicated almost forty years of scholarship to exploring the rich and varied music of Sumatran provinces, Margaret Kartomi provides a fascinating ethnographic record of vanishing musical genres, traditions, and practices that have become deeply compromised by the pre...
Peranakan Chinese communities and their “hybrid” culture have fascinated many observers. This book, comprising fourteen chapters, was mainly based on papers written by the author in the last two decades. The chapters address Peranakan Chinese cultural, national and political identities in the Malay Archipelago, i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (IMS). This book is divided into two parts. Part I which is on the regional dimension, contains nine chapters that discuss the three countries and beyond. Part II consists of five chapters which focus on one country, i.e., Indonesia. This book not only discusses the past and the present, but also the future of the Peranakan Chinese.
