Sepanjang Sejarah Indonesia, ada banyak tragedi memilukan, pembantaian berdarah, dan kekejaman lainnya yang disembunyikan atau luput dari perhatian khalayak luas. Meski demikian, sebagai orang Indonesia, identitas keindonesiaan kita turut didefinisikan oleh peristiwa-peristiwa yang mengoyak nurani itu. Suka atau tidak suka, identitas itu melekat erat pada diri kita. Hingga kini, tragedi dan kekejian berdarah itu lebih banyak menyisakan pertanyaan di ruang hampa. Bahkan acap kali kita gagap untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang paling umum seperti: Mengapa kejadian itu bisa terjadi? Dimana saja terjadinya? Siapa pelakunya? Siapa saja yang menjadi korban? Di mana para korban dikuburkan? Buku ini membahas dinamika kekejaman dan tragedi kemanusiaan sepanjang sejarah Indonesia. Semua peristiwa yang terjadi di setiap daerah, dihadirkan dengan karakteristiknya sendiri-sendiri. Variasi itulah yang turut mengukir nuansa dalam lembaran-lembaran buku ini.

Beginning with a general overview of nanocomposites, Bionanocomposites: Integrating Biological Processes for Bio-inspired Nanotechnologies details the systems available in nature (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) that can be integrated within suitable inorganic matrices for specific applications. Describing the relationship between architecture, hierarchy and function, this book aims at pointing out how bio-systems can be key components of nanocomposites. The text then reviews the design principles, structures, functions and applications of bionanocomposites. It also includes a section presenting related technical methods to help readers identify and understand the most widely used analytical tools such as mass spectrometry, calorimetry, and impedance spectroscopy, among others.
Media, Culture, and Politics in Indonesia is about the institutions and policies that determine what Indonesians write, read, watch, and hear. It covers the print media, broadcast radio and television, computers and the internet, videos, films and music. This book argues that the texts of the media can be understood in two broad ways: 1. as records of a "national" culture and political hegemony constructed by Suharto's New Order and 2. as contradictory, dissident, political and cultural aspirations that reflect the anxieties and preoccupations of Indonesian citizens. Media, Culture, and Politics, now brought back to life as a member of Equinox Publishing's Classic Indonesia series, explains ...
Translated from the Urdu by Khushwant Singh. Umrao Jan Ada is perhaps one of the most enigmatic and forgotten female figures in South Asian Literature. The question of her existence, her beauty, her scholarly abilities and her poetic gift remain a mystery. The book is an account of Umrao's life as a Lucknawi courtesan, a nautch girl, delivered in first person by Umrao herself, and documented by a close friend. Written more than a hundred years ago, the novel recreates the gracious ambience of old Lucknow and takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the palaces of wealthy nawabs, the hideouts of the colorful vagabonds and the luxurious abodes of the city's courtesans.
