Durga/Umayi
This first English edition of the satirical Indonesian novel (1991) affords an overview of the Sukarno and Suharto eras and insight into the postcolonial condition This scathingly satirical and hilarious novel, first published in Indonesia in 1991, affords both a blithely irreverent overview of Indonesian history in the Sukarno and Suharto eras, and brilliant insights into the postcolonial condition. Mangunwijaya (1929-2001) was a well-known Indonesian political activist and writer, as well as a Catholic priest, engineer, and architect. Framed by the world of ritual shadow plays - the realm of witches like Durga and the goddess Umayi - Mangunwijaya's novel gives an unblinking but remarkably compassionate account of people caught up in the great nationalist maelstrom of Indonesia's recent history.
Y.B. Mangun Wijaya
Y.B. Mangunwijaya (Romo Mangun) adalah rohaniwan yang fenomenal. Ia tak hanya sibuk berkhutbah dan mewacanakan doktrin agama, melainkan mengamalkannya dalam tindakan nyata. Ia merespons persoalan sosial dan kemanusiaan, khususnya problem yang menimpa rakyat kecil. Romo Mangun tak hanya membantu kaum bawah agar mandiri secara ekonomi dan meningkat taraf hidupnya, melainkan juga membela wong cilik itu dari upaya “penyingkiran” dan “penggusuran”. Romo Mangun adalah sangat sedikit dari tokoh agama yang tergerak membela rakyat kecil yang miskin, sengsara, dan tertindas. Dalam posisi seperti ini, Romo Mangun lalu berhadapan dengan para elit politik, elit ekonomi, dan penguasa yang zalim. A...

A landmark novel, The Weaverbirds is a tale of physical and spiritual struggles. The story spans from the formative days of Indonesia's independence to Indonesia's oil crisis in the mid 1970s. Larasati, the precious daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Antana, and Setadewa, the army-brat son of Capt. And Mrs. Brajabasuki, are childhood friends.

Even with their many differences, their relationship offers guidance to survival in a chaotic world.
Man Tiger
A wry, affecting tale set in a small town on the Indonesian coast, Man Tiger tells the story of two interlinked and tormented families and of Margio, a young man ordinary in all particulars except that he conceals within himself a supernatural female white tiger. The inequities and betrayals of family life coalesce around and torment this magical being. An explosive act of violence follows, and its mysterious cause is unraveled as events progress toward a heartbreaking revelation. Lyrical and bawdy, experimental and political, this extraordinary novel announces the arrival of a powerful new voice on the global literary stage.

Traditions Redirecting Contemporary Indonesian Cultural Productions
This volume is the result of a conference held in October 2015 in connection with the Frankfurt Book Fair discussing developments that are considered important in contemporary Indonesian cultural productions. The first part of the book reflects on the traumatic experiences of the Indonesian nation caused by a failed coup on October 1, 1965. In more general theoretical terms, this topic connects to the field of memory studies, which, in recent decades, has made an academic comeback. The focus of the chapters in this section is how certain, often distressing, events are represented in narratives in a variety of media that are periodically renewed, changed, rehearsed, repeated, and performed, i...

Gender, Resistance and Transnational Memories of Violent Conflicts
This book investigates the importance of gender and resistance to silences and denials concerning human rights abuses and historical injustices in narratives on transnational memories of three violent conflicts in Indonesia. Transnational memories of violent conflicts travel abroad with politicians, postcolonial migrants and refugees. Starting with the Japanese occupation of Indonesia (1942–1945), the war of independence (1945–1949) and the genocide of 1965, the volume analyses narratives in Dutch and Indonesian novels in relation to social and political narratives (1942–2015). By focusing on gender and resistance from both Indonesian and Dutch, transnational and global perspectives, the author provides new perspectives on memories of the conflicts that are relevant to research on transitional justice and memory politics.
