Biography of Soe Hok Gie, an Indonesian political activist.
Untuk Bung Karno dan Taman Siswa: Biografi Irna HN Hadi Soewito
“Sejarawan Indonesia lebih sibuk berhistoriografi dan terancam lupa menulis diri sendiri atau rekan seprofesi secara utuh,” begitu kekhawatiran FX Domini BB Hera. Kendati banyak menghasilkan karya penting dalam pustaka sejarah Indonesia, salah satunya Soewardi Soerjaningrat dalam Pengasingan, belum ada biografi yang secara khusus mengulas kiprah Irna HN Hadi Soewito. Bahkan, biografi sejarawan perempuan di Indonesia pun pada umumnya masih terhitung langka. Buku ini menjawab kekhawatiran itu. Eka Budianta mengajak kita mengunjungi sejarah personal Irna HN Hadi Soewito, dari masa kecilnya di Kediri hingga kini genap berusia 80 tahun. Dalam buku ini pula terceritakan apa dan bagaimana keterkaitan Irna dengan Bung Karno, sang proklamator dan presiden pertama Republik Indonesia, juga Ki Hadjar Dewantara, sosok penting di balik Taman Siswa.

Social Science and Power in Indonesia
The premise of Social Science and Power in Indonesia is that the role and development of social sciences in Indonesia over the past fifty years are inextricably related to the shifting requirements of power. What is researched and what is not, which frameworks achieve paradigmatic status while others are marginalized, and which kinds of social scientists become influential while others are ignored are all matters of power. These and other important themes and issues are critically explored by some of Indonesia's foremost social scientists in this seminal work.
No Exit and Three Other Plays
NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • Four seminal plays by one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. An existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play, as well as three other brilliant, thought-provoking works: the reworking of the Electra-Orestes story, the conflict of a young intellectual torn between theory and conflict, and an arresting attack on American racism.
From Jail to Jail
"From Jail to Jail" is the political autobiography of a central though enigmatic figure of the Indonesian Revolution. Variously labeled a communist, Trotskyite, and nationalist, Tan Malaka managed, during the several decades of his political activity, to run afoul of nearly every political group and faction involved in the Indonesian struggle for independence. He was elected Chairman of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) in 1921 and barely five years later opposed the PKI-led uprising in Indonesia. He openly opposed Sukarno s support for negotiations with the Dutch, yet Sukarno issued a decree in 1963 recognizing Tan Malaka as a hero of national independence. During his several decades of political activity he spent periods of exile and hiding in nearly every country in Southeast Asia. From Jail to Jail is one of the few known autobiographies by an Asian Marxist of the 1930 s and 1940 s."
Footsteps
As the world moves into the twentieth century, Minke, one of the few European-educated Javanese, optimistically starts a new life in a new town: Betawi. With his enrollment in medical school and the opportunity to meet new people, there is every reason to believe that he can leave behind the tragedies of the past. But Minke can no more escape his past than he can escape his situation as part of an oppressed people under a foreign power. As his world begins to fall apart, Minke draws a small but fervent group around him to fight back against colonial exploitation. During the struggle, Minke finds love, friendship, and betrayal—with tragic consequences. And he goes from wanting to understand his world to wanting to change it. Pramoedya's full literary genius is again evident in the remarkable characters that populate the novel—and in his depiction of a people's painful emergence from colonial domination and the shackles of tradition.
Vengeance is Mine, All Others Pay Cash
Vivid, bawdy, comic, and arresting: the exciting new novel by the Indonesian phenomenon Ajo Kawir is one of the toughest fighters in the Javanese underworld, his fearlessness matched only by his unquenchable thirst for brawling. But the young thug is driven by a painful secret – he is impotent. When he finally meets his match in the shape of the fearsomely beautiful bodyguard Iteung, Ajo is left bruised, battered and overjoyed – he has fallen in love. But will he ever be able to make Iteung happy if he can't get it up? Vengeance is Mine, All Others Pay Cash is a gloriously pulpy tale of bloody fists, broken hearts and dueling Jakarta truckers, from the Man Booker International-longlisted author of Beauty is a Wound. Eka Kurniawan was born in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia in 1975. He studied philosophy at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta and has since published several novels and short stories. He was longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2016 and his books have been translated into 33 languages. His highly acclaimed, epic work of magical realism Beauty is a Wound is also available from Pushkin Press.
