Rebellion to Integration

West Sumatra and the Indonesian Polity, 1926-1998

By: Audrey Kahin

This study deals with the political history of the Indonesian province of West Sumatra and the Minangkabau people from the late colonial period up to the present, focussing on the course and degree of their integration into the contemporary Indonesian state. The book provides a local perspective on the growth and development of the nationalist movement in Indonesia, the struggle for independence, and the trauma involved for West Sumatra in adapting to an Indonesian state based on very different concepts of government than those that animated the anticolonial struggle in the region. It also helps understand the backgrounds of the recent violent insurgence in several parts of the Indonesian archipelago against the rule of the Javanese-controlled central government.

Historical Dictionary of Indonesia

By: Audrey Kahin

A wide-flung archipelago lying between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Indonesia is the world's most populous Islamic country. For over two thousand years it was a crossroads on the major trading route between China and India, but it was not brought together into a single entity until the Dutch extended their rule throughout the Netherlands East Indies in the early part of the 20th century. Declaring its independence from the Dutch in 1945, the Republic of Indonesia was ruled by only two regimes over the next half century Throughout the years the country has continued to be dogged by an inefficient bureaucracy and by perpetual problems of corruption. However, since 2004 Indonesia has successfully carried out four direct elections for president, together with an equal number of elections for legislative bodies at all levels of government, and has finally in 2014 elected a president with no ties to either the military or to the previous authoritarian power structure. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Indonesia contains a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Indonesia.

Islam, Nationalism and Democracy

a Political Biography of Mohammad Natsir

By: Audrey R. Kahin

As Indonesia's leading Muslim politician in the second half of the 20th century, Mohammad Natsir (1908-1993) went from heading the country's first post-independence government and largest Islamic political party to spending years in rebellion and in prison. After initially welcoming Soekarno's overthrow in 1965, he became one of the most outspoken critics of the successor Suharto government's increasingly autocratic rule. Natsir's copious writings stretch from his student days in the late colonial period, when his debates with Soekarno over the character of Indonesian nationalism first attracted public attention, to the years immediately preceding his death when his trenchant criticisms brought him the enmity of the Suharto regime. They reveal a man struggling to harmonize his deep Islamic faith with his equally firm belief in national independence and democracy. Drawing from a wide range of materials, including these writings and extensive interviews with the subject, this political biography of Natsir positions an important Muslim politician and thinker in the context of a critical period of Indonesia's history, and describes his vision of how a newly independent country could embrace religion without sacrificing its democratic values.

Not Just Victims

Conversations with Cambodian Community Leaders in the United States

By: Audrey U. Kim

Not Just Victims contains twelve oral histories based on conversations with Cambodian community leaders in eight American cities -- Long Beach, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, and the Massachusetts towns of Fall River and Lowell. Unlike the dozens of autobiographies published by Cambodians that focus largely on their victimization, these narratives describe how Cambodian refugees have adapted to life in the United States. Sucheng Chan's extensive introduction provides a historical framework; she discusses the civil war (1970-75), the bloody Khmer Rouge revolution (1975-79), the border war during the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia (1979-89), and the additional travails faced by those who escaped to holding camps in Thailand. The book also includes an essay on oral history and a substantial bibliography.

Subversion as Foreign Policy

The Secret Eisenhower and Dulles Debacle in Indonesia

By: Audrey Kahin,George McTurnan Kahin

Based on access to secret documents and interviews with many of the participants, Subversion as Foreign Policy is an extraordinary account of civil war in Indonesia provoked by President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and resulting in the killing of thousands of Indonesians and the destruction of much of the country's air force and navy. "This startling new book reveals a covert intervention by the United States in Indonesia in the late 1950s involving, among other things, the supply of thousands of weapons, the creation and deployment of a secret CIA air force and logistical support from the Seventh Fleet. The intervention occurred on such a massive scale that it is difficult to believe it has been kept almost totally secret from the American public for nearly 40 years. And this CIA operation proved to be even more disastrous than the Bay of Pigs". -- San Francisco Chronicle "An exemplary study of an ignominious chapter of the Cold War in Southeast Asia". -- Journal of Asian Studies "Subversion as Foreign Policy is a remarkable book.... The Kahins have provided a rare insight into the workings of U.S. policy towards Indonesia, both clandestine and official". -- London Times Literary Supplement

George Sand

George Sand

By: Audrey Pennel

Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin de Francueil naît à Paris en 1804. Fille d’un officier de l’armée impériale, elle est aussi l’enfant d’un siècle nouveau, qui s’ouvre sur toute une génération d’écrivains et d’artistes romantiques, dont elle fera partie. En 1822, elle épouse le baron François Casimir Dudevant et obtient son titre. La naissance de George Sand survient huit ans plus tard, à la faveur des Trois Glorieuses, qui marquent sa première prise de conscience politique. Elle quitte Nohant pour rejoindre Paris, commence à écrire, prend part à un groupe de littéraires romantiques et endosse une redingote masculine. Indiana, publié en 1832, marque le début d’une longue série de soixante-dix romans, auxquels s’ajoute une cinquantaine de nouvelles, pièces de théâtre et textes politiques. Sa vie intime est faite de liaisons passionnées, d’amours orageuses en compagnie de Musset, et de générosité envers ses amis artistes. Séparée de son mari, elle s’engage en 1848 aux côtés de Louis Blanc, soutient la cause féminine et participe à la lutte contre les inégalités sociales en publiant dans plusieurs journaux tels que la Cause du Peuple ou la Vraie République. De nombreuses lithographies issues de la presse d’opposition fleurissent alors à son encontre. Dans sa maison de Nohant, haut-lieu de la vie Romantique au XIXe siècle, George Sand reçoit les plus brillants esprits de l’époque : des écrivains comme Alexandre Dumas ou Gustave Flaubert, des cantatrices comme Pauline Viardot, son ami le peintre Eugène Delacroix, Jérôme Bonaparte, cousin germain de l’Empereur Napoléon 1er, ou encore le compositeur Frédéric Chopin, avec qui elle partage sa vie pendant près de dix ans. Cet ouvrage dresse le portrait intime, intellectuel et politique de cette femme, partagée entre deux classes sociales, mais actrice des changements d’un siècle. Le mythe qu’elle s’est construit elle-même grâce à son travail, ses engagements et sa manière avant-gardiste de réfléchir sur son époque, fait aujourd’hui d’elle, la plus grande femme de lettres du XIXe siècle. Audrey Pennel est Docteure en Histoire de l’art, diplômée de l’Université de Bourgogne. Elle anime régulièrement des conférences traitant de sujets relatifs au Moyen Âge tardif ou au XIXe siècle, notamment à propos du mouvement Romantique dans les arts, en politique et littérature, dont George Sand demeure une illustre représentante.
