Pramoedya Ananta Toer Dari Dekat Sekali
“Saya merasa... sayalah ‘keranjang sampah Mas Pram’ untuk hal-hal yang tidak dapat, tidak tepat, atau tidak pantas dikemukakannya kepada orang lain.” Maka, jika hal-hal yang bersifat pribadi tersebut diterbitkan, itu semata-mata merupakan “...pernyataan tanggungjawab saya terhadap pembaca karya-karya Mas Pram, terhadap khalayak Indonesia khususnya, dan dunia umumnya. Saya catat semua ini sebagai kenyataan, bahwa di samping semua yang sudah pernah ataupun sedang ditulis mengenai Mas Pram, masih ada hal-hal lain yang harus dikemukakan.... Dengan demikian orang dapat memahami Mas Pram sebagai sosok yang nyata, bukan manusia di angan-angan atau lamunan.” Demikian tulis Koesalah Soebagyo Toer, adik kandung Pramoedya Ananta Toer, penyusun buku ini. Tak pelak lagi, terhimpun di dalam buku ini banyak kehidupan pribadi Pramoedya yang belum diketahui oleh khalayak.
Revolusi: Indonesia and the Birth of the Modern World
Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize • Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world. On a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of people raised a homemade cotton flag and, on behalf of 68 million compatriots, announced the birth of a new nation. With the fourth largest population in the world, inhabiting islands that span an eighth of the globe, Indonesia became the first country to rid itself of colonial rule after World War II. In this vivid history, renowned scholar and celebrated author of Congo David Van Reybrouck captures a period of ...
Prince in a Republic
Hamengku Buwono IX, the late Sultan of Yogyakarta Special Province, is revered by Indonesians as one of the great founders of the modern Indonesian state. He leaves a positive but in some ways ambiguous legacy in political terms. His most conspicuous achievement was the survival of hereditary Yogyakartan kingship, and he provided rare stability and continuity in Indonesia's highly fractured modern history. Under the New Order, Hamengku Buwono also helped to launch the Indonesian economy on a much stronger growth path. Although remembered as the epitome of "e;political decency"e;, he faded from power and influence as Vice President in the 1970s, and the repressive and anti-democratic features of Suharto's New Order seemed to contradict much of what Hamengku Buwono originally stood for.This biography seeks to explain his political standpoint, motivations, and achievements, and set his career in the context of his times.
Organising under the Revolution
The years 1945-48 marked the peak of the Indonesian revolution, but they were also formative years for the state-labour relationship in modern Indonesia. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, Jafar Suryomenggolo reconstructs labour's initial drive to form and orient unions during this critical period. The historical narrative captures early unions' nationalist spirit and efforts to defend members' socio-economic interests, and shows the steps taken by the labour movement to maintain its independence and build institutional capacity within the new Indonesian state. Organising under the Revolution challenges the prevailing assumptions that see labour movements as political arms of the post-colonial state. The author's conclusions provide a comparative lens for the study of labour movements in Southeast Asia, and developing countries in general.
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.
Exile
Indonesia's most celebrated writer speaks out against tyranny and injustice in a young and troubled nation.

Arsipelago
In the context of the discourse around sovereignty in nation states, politics of claim and politics of access are actually the basis of the processes at work in documentation and documenting the arts and culture of the Indonesian nation state, particularly in its position as a former colony that continues to change, and has never xed a speci c identity. Politics of claim and politics of access should be considered within the framework of a cultural strategy for post-colonial nation states, which has perspectives, methodologies and aligned ideological positions that clearly address social welfare and justice. This is how the state is able to ensure the continuity and perpetuation of cultural practices and cultural products, created and passed down by a society, encouraging it to remain embedded and embodied in recycling the advances of the era. In this perspective, politics of claim and ac- cess assumed by the state are located as work that sees the position of the archive and the work of archiving arts and culture not as oriented to products, but to processes. The basic motivation is not for an economic political project, but for a dynamic cultural project.
