Mengenang Sang Baronese Kebudayaan: PROF. DR. TOETY HERATY
‘Figur Ibu Toeti Heraty bukan saja panutan di multibidang, namun juga sosok yang secara nyata berbuat sesuatu untuk bangsa dan kemanusiaan. Bentang aktivitasnya luas, mulai dari menulis puisi, kolektor lukisan, pengusaha, akademisi, pemikir, penulis buku, serta tokoh kunci di berbagai gerakan sosial. Saya sependapat bahwa untuk memahami pemikiran Ibu Toeti, maka membaca festschrift buku ‘Mengenang Sang Baronese Kebudayaan Prof. Dr. Toeti Heraty’ ini menjadi syarat dasarnya.” - Hilmar Farid, Dirjen Kebudayaan, Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi. “Hal ihwal yang melintas, yang berubah dan aus, yang tak luar biasa, yang dilewatkan ide-ide besar — itulah yang...
85 Tahun Taufik Abdullah - Perspektif Intelektual Dan Pandangan Publik
Akan keliru jika menganggap Taufik Abdullah, akrab dipanggil Pak Taufik, hanya sebagai pribadi sombong, tinggi hati, atau suka ngenyek pendapat orang lain. Oleh karena itu banyak orang tersinggung atau sakit hati. Dalam suatu ceramah, ada yang mengomentari “ di mana ketajaman analisa Taufik Abdullah?”. Dengan enteng Taufik menanggapai “saya juga heran, ternyata saya tidak sepintar yang saya harapkan” (Eka Budianta). Taufik punya selera humor juga. Sewaktu memasuki rumah makan di Pariaman, seorang gadis pelayan menyambutnya dan mengatakan “rasanya saya pernah melihat Bapak di televisi”. “iya ya?,” jawab Pak Taufik. Beliau lantas melanjutkan “Pada sinetron yang mana tu, ya? W...
Paus Fransiskus Dalam Konteks Nusantara
Paus Fransiskus di mata dunia dikenal sebagai sosok pemimpin Gereja Katolik yang sederhana, inspiratif, penuh kasih, dan peduli terhadap sesama. Namun, siapakah dia di mata orang Indonesia? Buku ini hendak menjawab pertanyaan tersebut secara interreligius dan interdi-sipliner. Para pemikir dari kalangan Muslim, Gereja Kristen, dan Gereja Katolik menampilkan refleksi mereka dari sudut pandang dan keahlian masing-masing. Refleksi tentang sikap dan pandangan Paus Fransiskus dalam konteks keragaman Nusantara menjadi sumbangan unik yang mencerahkan. Buku ini merupakan buah kerjasama antara Fakultas Teologi Univer-sitas Sanata Dharma, Fakultas Ushuluddin dan Pemikiran Islam UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, dan Fakultas Teologi UKDW.
Selling Illusions
Since he immigrated to Canada two decades ago, Neil Bissoondath has consistently refused the role of the ethnic, and sought to avoid the burden of hyphenation -- a burden that would label him as an East Indian-Trinidadian-Canadian living in Quebec. Bissoondath argues that the policy of multiculturalism, with its emphasis on the former or ancestral homeland and its insistence that There is more important than Here, discourages the full loyalty of Canada's citizens. Through the 1971 Multiculturalism Act, Canada has sought to order its population into a cultural mosaic of diversity and tolerance. Seeking to preserve the heritage of Canada's many peoples, the policy nevertheless creates unease on many levels, transforming people into political tools and turning historical distinctions into stereotyped commodities. It encourages exoticism, highlighting the differences that divide Canadians rather than the similarities that unite them. Selling Illusions is Neil Bissoondath's personal exploration of a politically motivated public policy with profound private ramifications -- a policy flawed from its inception but implemented with all the political zeal of a true believer.

Pink Slip Party
She's been handed her walking papers. Jane McGregor has just been laid off from her job designing pink slips for an office supply company. The irony is not lost on her. She's a twenty-eight-year-old art major whose last major career accomplishment was being propositioned by the company vice president. Desperate to maintain her freedom from her oddball parents, tyrannical older brother, and slacker ex-boyfriend, Jane starts sending out resumes. So what if some of them aren't exactly, well, true. She's taking the future in stride. When Jane's dad, a staunchly conservative believer in the corporate dream, loses his job, and her mom goes to work for a trendy dot com, Jane discovers that the family she's taken for granted is unraveling. After a fellow lay-off victim hatches a plot to seek revenge on the office supply company, Jane must choose between living in the past and seeking out a new future. To her surprise, that future might involve a most unlikely partner in crime -- handsome, funny Kyle Burton -- and maybe, just maybe, a new job, too.

A Preliminary Analysis of the October 1, 1965 Coup in Indonesia
Although numerous accounts have been published of the genesis and character of the attempted October 1965 coup in Indonesia, many important aspects of that affair still remain very unclear. The fact that in most accounts so much of the picture has been painted in black and white, and in language of categorical certainty, has served only to paper over the enormous gaps in established knowledge of the event. In his present introduction to the paper here published, Professor Anderson describes the circumstances surrounding its preparation and the reasons why it was not previously published. Indeed, because of the avowedly tentative and provisional character of this early effort, there would nor...
Another Gulmohar Tree
Usman is visiting post-war London from Pakistan when he meets a young aspiring artist called Lydia who has, like him, come out of an unhappy marriage. Just as the lonely strangers' friendship begins to blossom into something deeper Usman has to return to Karachi, leaving Lydia behind. Two years later, Lydia impulsively abandons her life in London and boards a ship to Karachi, where the two are married. But as the years flit by Usman feels distanced from his life and realises that he hasn't noticed the buds of the gulmohar tree unfurl. A beautiful account of a marriage that is in turns wry and unashamedly romantic. 'We are lucky to have Hussein among us, telling us stories as few can.' Amit Chaudhuri 'A lovely, strange, and very moving novel.' Ruth Padel 'At its heart it is a story of love, into which Hussein weaves all his remarkable skills of storytelling.' Kamila Shamsie 'In his splendid, dreamy Another Gulmohar Tree, Hussein gives us an indelible sense of two worlds - Karachi and London - in miniature and the strong parable of a love story that endures over a lifetime.' Joseph Olshan
