FOREWORD Goenawan Mohamad-Chairman, National Organizing Committee for Indonesia as Guest of Honour Country at the 2015 Frankfurt Book Fair


Indonesia 3

Werdas Dichten will verstehen, Muß ins Land der Dichtunggehen;

Wer den Dichter will verstehen, Muß in Dichters Landegehen.

Who wants to understand the poem must go to the land of poetry;

Who wishes to understand the poet must go to the poet’s land.

In the year 1030, Mpu Kanwa, the famous poet of the Kahuripan kingdom in what today is East Java, finished his magnum opus Arjunawiwāha and announced, “I build my temple of language on my writing board.”

By using the metaphor “temple of language” or can. d.i bhās.a, the poet revived the idea, or better, the spirit, that began earlier, when various royal decrees insisted on the importance of literary works to accompany the presence of the can. d.i śilā, “the temples of stone”.

Needless to say, the outcome is an invaluable legacy. Thanks to writers of previous eras, Indonesians today find their intellectual and artistic resources in the writing and reading that have become part of their tradition.

The books listed in this catalogue are a small portion of our effort to create new works while preserving the legacy. The number of the titles is admittedly modest—the translation process has been an arduous undertaking—but I hope the titles you find here represent a library of what Prapañca, in his thirteenth-century tome Nāgarakr. tāgama calls kĪrti books, or works of “valuable quality”.

At the least, they serve as samples of contemporary Indonesian writing—and an invitation to Germans (and other Europeans for that matter) to have a look into a world normally invisible in their literary radar.

It is an interesting world, I am proud to say. Indonesian contemporary “temples of language” are built by people whose mother tongues are diverse but who are committed to adopt one national language. In our nationalist mode we call the language “Indonesian”, but actually it is a Malay-based lingua franca used across national borders in Southeast Asia—from the southern part of Thailand to the eastern part of Timor Leste. In other words, it is a language enlivened by a continuing conversation among 270 million people, the large bulk of which live in today’s Indonesia.

I assure you that the conversation is worth listening. As Goethe wrote in West-östlicher Divan (West-Eastern Divan):

Tropical ModernImelda Akmal

The ten houses exhibited in this book are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of houses that adopt modern concepts in tropical countries such as Indonesia.

Untuk Negeriku: Sebuah Otobiografi For My Country: An Autobiography Mohammad Hatta

In Hatta’s opinion, there were two important milestones in his life. What were they? This book is a record of the life story and the struggle of Mohammad Hatta, a national hero of independence, from his early childhood to the pinnacle of his political activity. The book is divided into three sections: the first describes Hatta’s family and his early childhood up to his graduation from Handelshogeschool in Rotterdam in 1930. The second covers Hatta’s struggle in Indonesia up to his capture and imprisonment in Digul and Banda until 1942. The third comprises notes regarding Hatta’s role in the preparations for Indonesia’s independence and the pinnacle of his career at the Round Table Conference in 1949. This autobiography was written by Hatta himself before his demise in 1980.

Mohammad Hatta (1902–1980) was Indonesia’s first vice president and later served as the country’s prime minister. Known as “The Proclamator”, he and a number of other Indonesians, including the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno, fought for Indonesia’s independence from the occupying Dutch.

Rijsttafel: Budaya Kuliner di Indonesia Masa Kolonial 1870–1942Rijsttafel: Typical 1870–1942 Colonial Era Culinary Culture in Indonesia

Fadly Rahman

Rijsttafel, the elaborate rice set favored by the Dutch colonial officers and elites in the second half of the 19th century, was a European presentation of the Indonesian way of eating rice as their staple food. A line of servers would carry dishes to the table, the first one bearing fragrant steamed rice, followed by a selection of meat or chicken, vegetables and an assortment of sauces. This book reveals the story behind this conceptual meal and its origins, reproducing related colonial literature and photographs, and excerpts of authentic recipe books from the era.

Fadly Rahman was born in Bogor on 27 November 1981. Amidst his activities as a lecturer at the History Department at Universitas Padjajaran, Bandung, West Java, he frequently writes about history for Kompas and Republika newspapers. Having worked as an editor of school books on history, he started to become interested in the history of food and undertook a historical research on Rijsttafel in 2006.

He has contributed his knowledge and interest to several books, among them Indonesian Food (Anova Publisher, 2008) written by Sri Owen, and the Oxford Companion to Southeast Asian Food (2008–2009) edited by Roger Owen and Sri Owen. He was also involved in a television program hosted by leading Indonesian culinary figure, William Wongso.

Indonesian Delicacies: 165 Popular Snacks across the Archipelago Yasa Boga

Indonesians know how to treat themselves! A quick glance at this book shows how original and creative they are when it comes to indulgence through delectable snacks and refreshments. The majority of snacks are sweet, others savoury with spicy fillings. Some are enjoyed as tidbits, others slathered with sweet coconut milk sauce or palm sugar syrup. Some are simple, made merely of palm sugar, water and rice flour. Others are lavish, sumptuously made of thirty egg yolks. Some are enjoyed with breakfast, others are made as spiced beverage—a warming drink in a cold night. It is pure abandon; a riot of forms, flavours and colours, a myriad of options and possibilities.

Yet amazingly, these palate pleasers are sacrosanct—made since time immemorial using the same techniques, ingredients and utensils. Indonesian snacks are not only a long cherished tradition, they are also an art form passed down through generations.

Magno: The Story BehindSinggih S. Kartono

Magno: The Story Behind is a comprehensive monograph on the award-winning Indonesian product Magno, crafted by Singgih S Kartono in Temanggung, Central Java, as part of his contribution to empower village communities.This book is adapted from an essay of the same title, which was written by Kartono himself. Through his writings, Kartono tries to convey his design point of view towards villages, communities, economic potential, socio-cultural changes that happened and how he founded Magno as a catalyst to turn the wheels of economy. In Magno: The Story Behind, Kartono also shares his affection for nature and his vision on rethinking modern consumerism.

Inspired by futurist Alvin Toffler’s prophecy in his book Future Shock, Singgih S. Kartono decided to go back to his village two years after completing his undergraduate studies in Product Design at the Bandung Institute of Technology. His dream of living and creating meaningful work in his village, yet still being able to connect internationally at the same time, is an admirable one. With hard work and perseverance, he was ultimately able to fulfil the prophecy, as well as to realise the unprecedented potential of his village. Wooden products created under his brand Magno aren’t only distributed internationally, but have also garnered many prestigious international design awards. His concern over the condition of villages across Indonesia has encouraged Singgih to establish Spedagi, a movement to revitalise villages and their communities, which is represented by the icon of a bamboo bicycle. For Singgih, the design discipline isn’t only integral to the creation of a product, but more importantly, to the improvement of countless lives and the maintenance of the sustainability of our environment.

Wayang Potehi of JavaArdian Purwoseputro

Indonesia is blessed with vast and unique arts and culture—a result of being a melting pot of different cultures that ever visited the archipelago for centuries.

One form of performance art that came from China and was warmly received in Java is Wayang Potehi. This hand-puppet performance art went through its own up and downs over the centuries from political circumstances and, yet, today still maintains it original format despite the fact that majority of the artists are now Javanese.

“WAYANG POTEHI OF JAVA” is a premium coffee-table book that aims to introduce the artistry of the past and current artists to the contemporary Indonesian and international audience. It is also a form of an invitation for Indonesians to appreciate and be proud of Wayang Potehi as a part of the nation’s art and culture.

Wayang Potehi is an iconic art form of Chinese puppet theatre in Indonesia. In the beginning, its existence was constrained mostly within Chinese temples in Java. But in 1967, the repression of Chinese under the New Order government in Indonesia for 33 years restricted and prohibited its activities and almost killed its existence. Wayang Potehi came back alive during the presidency of Abdurrahman Wahid and now it can be performed without any restrictions.

Today, people—Chinese or non-Chinese, elderly or young—are keen on watching Wayang Potehi shows. Many of them idolize and discuss over its main characters such as Sie Djin Koei, Tek Djing, Kwan Kong etc. It slowly gains its popularity back. In rural areas such as Mojoagung, Gudo and Blitar, Wayang Potehi shows are watched mostly by natives. Even the artists (from the puppeteer, musician and puppetmaker) are majority Javanese and Moslem. Although the number of puppetmakers is pretty small, they all have their own unique perception and taste in their creations.

Wayang Potehi went through a tremendous adaptation with the local culture during its proliferation and evolution in Java influenced by societal trends and power in politics. Nonetheless, the format and the elements of its original, root traditions embedded in the structure and the flow of the performance, as well as the look and shape of the puppets are still well maintained. It all formed what is called today: WAYANG POTEHI OF JAVA.

This book will be the ultimate Wayang Potehi book ever produced in Indonesia. It is to be presented in a contemporary, modern retro, minimalist style in contrast to its classical, Chinese traditional original style.

This includes glimpses of village and city dichotomy, which provides much food for thought. The second is an impressive story about the strength of Papuan women. The third story is, of course, about the beauty of the Papuan landscape, which the writer likes to think of as a paradise. The photos and stories told are of average Papuan men, women and children. The book provides a personal commentary on the area and the injustices its people face, as development based on the exploitation of natural resources continues.

Floating Threads: Indonesian Songket and Similar Weaving TraditionsJudi Achjadi

Floating Threads represents an attempt to catalogue float weave techniques used to decorate cloth throughout the archipelago and hints at possible lines of distribution. Float weaves are the threads running one way in a fabric that skipped over a calculated number of threads running the opposite direction to create little motifs. Gold-thread songket, in which an extra or supplementary (gold) thread in the weft direction is floated over threads in the opposite (warp) direction to create patterns, is the most outstanding of these in terms of luxuriousness and exposure. The all-cotton pathudu of East Sumba, in which an extra or supplementary warp is floated over wefts to create more exotic and attention getting motifs, is another example.

Judi Achjadi, a Canadian, came to Indonesia in 1958, became wife of an Indonesian diplomat and then Indonesian citizen soon afterwards. She has spent the rest of her personal life studying traditional Indonesian dress, of which traditional textiles are an essential component. Judi says she came in at a good time, when usage of Western dress was increasing exponentially but there were still elderly experts wanting to pass on their knowledge, so that it would not be lost. Judi has written a number of articles and books, including the Glory of Batik: The Danar Hadi Collection, Exquisite Indonesia: The Finest Crafts of the Archipelago and Batik Spirit of Indonesia.

Key WitnessMetta Dharmasaputra

The true story of the hunt for Vincent, the whistleblower in the Asian Agri Group tax case.

Key Witness tells of the many struggles surrounding the disclosure of the Asian Agri tax case. Metta’s mobile phone was tapped. Tempo, which published investigative reports on the case, was taken to court. Vincent was sentenced to eleven years in prison for money laundering, a crime he had not committed. It took the tax authorities several years to get the case tried: finally, the Supreme Court ordered Asian Agri to pay a fine of Rp 2.5 trillion (around US$ 227 million), the largest ever in this country.

“That Sukanto Tanoto has now been challenged, that Vincent has been freed, and that Metta was able to publish this book—all this suggests that hope does not always go unfulfilled.” —Goenawan Mohamad, cultural figure, essayist, founder of Tempo magazine

“A significant piece of narrative non-fiction that is likely to endure long after the specifics of Indonesia’s biggest tax scandal have entered the history books.” —Janet Steele, associate professor, School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University

“Key Witness takes citizens, journalists and students beyond the black and white world of textbook journalism into the real world of investigative reporting and its ethical dilemmas.” —Wendy Bacon, professor and journalist with the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism, University of Technology, Sydney; journalist and media researcher

A Tribute to Ali Wardhana, Indonesia’s Longest Serving Finance Minister: From His Writings and His ColleaguesMari Elka Pangestu (editor)

This book is a tribute to Indonesia’s longest serving finance minister (1968–1983), Ali Wardhana. He was instrumental in navigating Indonesia through various crises and difficult times and in the overall development of the modern Indonesian economy. From his early writings to his reflections on the reform process, which he helped mastermind, his sharp technocratic mind combined with intuition and experience regarding the realities of implementation really shines through. The lessons learned are still relevant today. This book also contains fifteen years of his speeches presented as the minister of finance at the World Bank and IMF annual meetings.

The speeches span historical turning points in the world economy, such as the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system, the volatility of commodity prices, and world economic recessions, as well as the rise of the voices and concerns of developing economies. This book also contains personal testimonies from his colleagues, successor ministers of finance and family members. What emerges is a not just admiration of his brilliant mind, but a portrait of a remarkable human being with great leadership qualities, charm, and warmth; someone who nurtured future generations of economists and well-trained government officials that have continued his fearless quest for a better Indonesia.

Mari Pangestu is currently a professor of International Economics at the University of Indonesia’s Faculty of Economics (FEUI) and is also on the Board of Directors of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). She was previously minister of trade (2004-2011) and minister of tourism and creative economy (2011–2014). Prior to that, she held positions as a lecturer at FEUI and director and executive director of CSIS. She has also undertaken consulting for various international organisations, including the Program for Financial Policy Studies and Training (PFST) and the Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID), which was providing input to the Ministry of Finance.

37Criss-crossing Relations between Indonesia and Europe: From Dictators and Music to LanguageJoss Wibisono

Indonesian history cannot be excluded from world history as a whole. Based on this premise, Joss Wibisono explains nearly forgotten aspects of the relationship between Indonesia and Europe, including the influence of gamelan (Javanese orchestra) on Western classical music, the absorption of Indonesian vocabulary by the Dutch and in particular, the notion that the New Order’s dictatorship had its origins in European fascism, which was introduced during colonial times.

Entertaining without losing its depth, this book is an important contribution to Indonesian historiography and brings new insights into East-West relations to a wider audience.

“Joss’s essays clearly place Indonesian history in the realm of world history.” —Suara Merdeka

“Joss Wibisono expresses his ideas light-heartedly without reducing the complexities of the issues, and richly in the sense that he brings the readers to critical imagination about the offshoots of what is usually called Indonesian nationalism.”—Literasi, Journal of Humanities

Some sample chapters of the book and other related writings can be read in English, Dutch and French in the author’s blog: https://gatholotjo.wordpress.com

Potential Readership: Readers of World History, Southeast Asian/Indonesian Studies, Cultural Studies, and East-West relationships

Joss Wibisono (1959) is a former visiting research fellow at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University. For twenty-five years until 2012, he was a journalist, editor and senior editor at the Indonesian Service of Radio Netherlands Worldwide in Hilversum.

38The Spice Islands: The History of North Maluku 1250–1950Kepulauan Rempah-rempah: Sejarah Maluku Utara 1250–1950

M. Adnan Amal

North Maluku was once the most important region in Indonesia. The spices from this area compelled Europeans to sail from their faraway countries and changed the history of the archipelago and the world. Therefore, to capture the history of North Maluku means to understand some of the main periods of Indonesian history.

This book presents a complete and thorough seven-century history of North Maluku from 1250 to 1950. It recounts the actions of the North Maluku kingdoms against the Portuguese, Spanish, English and Dutch; the Ternate and Tidore rivalry in gaining domination of East Indonesia, stretching from Sulawesi to Papua; and North Maluku’s role in World War II and the early days of the Republic of Indonesia. Readers can also learn about important figures in North Maluku’s history, such as Sultan Babullah from Ternate, Sultan Nuku from Tidore, Franciscus Xaverius, Alfred Russel Wallace and many others. All of the characters are abstracted from primary sources and are described in simple language, making for an enjoyable read. Here, readers will experience the heydays and upheavals in the Spice Islands, Moloku Kie Raha.

M. Adnan Amal was born in Galela, Halmahera, in January 1930. He studied law at Padjadjaran University, Bandung, and after graduating in 1963, he became a judge. During his career, he was posted in Ternate, Ambon, Manado, Bandung, Palu and Makassar. He retired in 1994 from his post as head of Maluku Provincial Court in Ambon. During his retirement, he taught law at Khairun Ternate University until 2007, ran a coconut plantation and observed local history and culture. He has written several history books about Maluku: Sejarah Maluku Utara (A History of North Maluku; 2 vols, 2003-2004), Kepulauan Rempah-rempah (Spice Islands; 2007) and Babullah Datu Syah (2007). He is currently working on his latest book, Kehadiran Portugis dan Spanyol di Maluku.

39From NII to JI: Salafi Jihadism in IndonesiaNII sampai JI: Salafy Jihadisme di Indonesia

Solahudin

This book fills a void in the history of Darul Islam after the defeat of the DI/TII in 1962, revealing the history of Darul Islampost-1962 and Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) as one of its splinter organisations. Cases involving the jihadist movement, such as the Warman terrorist case, the Usroh movement, military training in Afghanistan, and the Bali bombing in 2002, are discussed in detail. Also addressed is the salafi jihadism of the DI and how it discovered fertile ground in Indonesia to evolve into Abdullah Azzam and Osama bin Laden-style jihadism.

“Solahudin presents the narrative aspect and text analysis in a balanced and non-judgemental way, unlike so many other works about jihad. His main focus is to explain, not to preach or judge.” —Greg Fealy, professor of Indonesian Politics, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University

Solahudin is a journalist and researcher and a special contributor for vivanews.com. His research interests include media and Islam. He recently finished a research project on religion reporting in the mass media, and he is currently researching the history of Islam on the west coast of Papua.

Greetings from Jakarta: Postcards of a Capital 1900–1950Scott Merrillees

This book is the most comprehensive visual record of Jakarta ever published covering the first half of the 20th century, which was also the last half century of colonial rule. Four hundred and sixty postcards from the author’s own collection are brought together to reveal a city that has largely vanished and is barely recognizable now, even to most life-long residents. Three hundred and sixty-two of the postcards have individually researched captions and are linked to period maps which enable the reader to identify the precise location of each image. The book is the result of 20 years of collecting and research by Scott Merrillees to try and answer the questions: what did Jakarta look like in the past, what were the influences which shaped its development and how did it evolve into the city it is today?

Scott Merrillees was born in Melbourne in 1962, and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Melbourne in 1984, with majors in accounting and Indonesian studies. He learned the Indonesian language at high school and university in Australia (1975 to 1983) and at Satya Wacana University in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia (1981 to 1982). He worked in Jakarta for 22 years from 1989 to 2006 and from 2008 to 2013, mainly in banking, capital markets and equity research.

Jakarta: Portraits of a Capital 1950–1980Scott Merrillees

This book surveys the evolution of Jakarta during the first three decades after Indonesian independence had been achieved in 1945 and after national sovereignty had finally been recognized by the Netherlands in 1949. It reveals the capital city of a newly independent nation throwing off its colonial inheritance to build a bold new capital that for President Sukarno would not only unite his people and his country, but would also be a “beacon” for developing nations around the world. The period 1950 to 1980 gave Jakarta many of its most famous and iconic landmarks, including the National Monument (Monas), Gelora Bung Karno, the Istiqlal Mosque, Hotel Indonesia, Semanggi, the Sarinah department store, the Bank Indonesia headquarters and, of course, Jalan Thamrin and Jalan Jendral Sudirman.

Faith in Writing: Forty Years of EssaysGoenawan Mohamad

Goenawan Mohamad’s writing is stirring and original— a virtual sledgehammer of thought. Just as Orhan Pamuk offers his cosmopolitan view from Istanbul, Goenawan offers the same from his window in Jakarta. His writing is lucid, illuminating and timeless. Critics have called him the “Borges of South-east Asia”. Few contemporary writers possess such dexterity and immediacy or cut so cleanly with their samurai pen. Goenawan’s life spans the history of the Indonesian republic, and his depth of involvement with its history informs his writing and his life. This collection of essays covers nearly five decades of his writing, the earliest from 1968, the most recent from 2014.

Goenawan Mohamad, activist, journalist, editor, essayist, poet, commentator, theater director and playwright, is a towering figure in Indonesia. Having written a weekly column for Tempo, the country’s most popular news magazine, for more than forty years, he is, for very good reason, the country’s most well known public intellectual. His output of essays (and other literary texts) is staggering. His vision is uniquely Indonesian, yet breathtakingly universal, setting his work apart from his contemporary South-Asian writers.

Goenawan Mohamad

This is the third published collection of Goenawan Mohamad’s column ‘Sidelines’ in the weekly news journal Tempo. The first collection, Sidelines, was published in 1994, and the second, Conversation with Difference, was published in 2002. Having started off in March 1976 under the name ‘Our Focus’, the column was renamed ‘Sidelines’ in 1977. When Tempo was banned in 1994, Goenawan Mohamad’s column appeared sporadically in the unlicensed magazine Independen and was later resumed by Tempo when the ban was lifted in 1998. For this book (as with the previous two), a major consideration in selecting the essays was to find those that speak particularly to foreign readers. Those focusing more narrowly on Indonesian issues, the context of which might be obscure to foreign readers, were discarded in favour of those addressing something particularly Indonesian but within a broader context, or conversely, something global but related to an Indonesian situation. - Jennifer Lindsay

On God and Other Unfinished ThingsGoenawan Mohamad

On God and Other Unfinished Things is a poetry collection and also “scraps of thought” from Goenawan Mohamad. A word “scraps” is apt for the task at hand because this is hardly a full script. Each of its parts was written with something close to brevity a cut or a remnant of sorts of a larger piece, or notes taken while traveling. All 99 of these “scraps” can be read sometimes as parts that support or refute one another, and at other times as pieces that stand on their own.

All were written in times when God seemed to be irrefutable and religion gained ever more currency in the lives of many: dispensing strength and illuminating the path ahead, but times which were at the same time threatening.

17,000 Islands of ImaginationJez O’Hare & Jeremy Allan

From the window of a commercial airliner in flight, Indonesia is a panorama of hues and textures. From the window of an automobile, Indonesia is vastly different: a succession of intriguing artifacts seemingly isolated from one another. These disparate perspectives of the archipelago are conjoined in the view from a low-flying aircraft. Details on the ground are clearly visible, while the vantage point is sufficiently lofty to encompass the full splendor of trackless forests, towering volcanic cones, and endless sea. This book presents the natural grandeur of the land and sea of Indonesia in a stunning collection of photographs shot from the photographer’s custom-made microlight; a compelling demonstration that this astonishingly diverse nation is, in essence, a single, cohesive land and people.

Jez O’Hare was born in 1966 and moved to Indonesia with his family in 1973. He studied scientific illustration in the UK before returning to Indonesia permanently in 1988 and acquiring Indonesian citizenship in 1995. Jez has been a freelance photographer and amateur pilot for over 20 years. A member of FASI, the Indonesian Aero Sport Federation, his aerial photographs are taken from helicopters, airplanes and his own microlight, paramotor, drones and kites.

Since becoming a permanent resident of Indonesia in 1980, Jeremy Allan has used his extensive familiarity with this nation’s culture, society and history to introduce the people and places of the Indonesian archipelago to a global readership. Through a variety of media and promotional literature, he has sought to portray Indonesia in a fair and positive manner and to promote the interests of Indonesian businesses, cultural and social organizations, and the nation itself.

Few people are aware that the most beautiful South Sea pearls are from Indonesia, the largest producer of South Sea pearls in the world. Indonesian South Sea pearls are hidden treasures, unknown to Indonesians and foreigners alike. Now, the history and cultural influence of pearls, especially Indonesian South Sea pearls, is showcased in this book of full-color photography.

Inggrid M. Sutardjo, wife of former Indonesian Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Sharif Cicip Sutardjo, has traveled extensively to learn about the Indonesian South Sea pearling industry and to meet pearl farmers across Indonesia.

Nunik Anurningsih is the co-founder of Yayasan Segitiga Terumbu Karang, which provides educational funding for students in Wakatobi. She recently turned her hand to creating exclusive hand-crafted jewelry, using Indonesian South Sea Pearls, inspired by Indonesia’s flora and fauna.

Indonesia: A SurpriseVarious Authors

Indonesia: A Surprise draws the photographs it contains into a distinct narrative. The intensity builds from one part to the next, arranging the stunning imagery into an intense epic. The book is divided into three main parts: Sejauh (As Far As), Mata (The Eyes) and Memandang (Can See). The eyes wander across the peaks and troughs of Indonesia, looking at the cheerful faces of young islanders and the sweaty fishermen hunting for whales in eastern waters, before coming to the natural disaster that scarred the earth in Yogyakarta and Central Java after Mount Merapi erupted. This fantastic book gives us an Indonesia that is surprisingly beautiful, surprisingly violent and surprisingly hopeful.

Oscar Motuloh was born in Surabaya in 1959 and has worked as a photographic journalist at Antara News since 1990. Beginning as a self-taught photographer, he then studied photographic journalism in Hanoi, Vietnam (1991) and Tokyo, Japan (1993). Oscar has also written several photo books, including East Timor, A Photographic Record; Marine; Ocean Guard; The Land of Bulungan; Ocean of Tears; East Timor, The Long and Winding Road; and many more.

Don’t Write That We Are TerroristsJangan Tulis Kami Teroris

Linda Christanty

One of the two men in white cloaks approached our car and addressed Tu Nazir, who was holding the steering wheel, loudly. His bearded cheeks were slightly chubby and his eyes were wide. Tu replied calmly, “This reporter heard you were an alleged terrorist. She wants to know if it is true or not.”

The cloaked man replied, “Reporters? BBC once came here. For the interview, they brought fifty bags of cement. It is mandatory to donate when you come here.”

The other man in white robes approached the man speaking to Tu. I wondered what they were saying. After they had spoken, as we pulled out into the road to leave, we heard loud screams from them and others garbed in white robes: “Do not write that we are terrorists! Do not write that we are terrorists!”

In this collection of writings, Linda explores Southeast Asia to interview people who are often accused of being terrorists. The people she has interviewed are members of the Islamic Defenders Front, leaders of the Free Aceh Movement and ordinary citizens of various circles in Malaysia, Pattani, South Thailand and Cambodia. This book intends to open a new perspective on the injustice and arbitrariness of actions taken on behalf of race, nation, religion, communism, nationalism and even democracy.

Linda Christanty is an author and a journalist. Her works have received many awards, including Khatulistiwa Literary Awards in 2004 and 2010, awards from the Language Centre of the Ministry of National Education (2010 and 2013), and the Best Short Story from Kompas daily. In 1998, ‘Militarism and Violence in East Timor’ won a Human Rights Award for best essay. She also wrote a play script on conflict, disaster and peace transformation in Aceh, and in 2008, the play was performed at the World PEN Forum in Tokyo. In 2013, she received the SEA Write Award.

Islam of the Archipelago: From Ushul Fiqh to the Idea of NationhoodIslam Nusantara: Dari Ushul Fiqh Hingga Paham Kebangsaan

Akhmad Sahal and Munawir Aziz

Islam Nusantara, the main theme of the 33rd Nadhlatul Ulama (NU) congress in Jombang in 2015, is reaping pros and cons. According to NU, the concept of Islam Nusantara refers to the fact that the propagation of Islam in the archipelago is not done by suppressing the local culture, but rather by embracing it and aligning it with Islam. The NU is determined to defend the notion that Islam Nusantara is characterised by tolerance, moderation and peace. But from the counter view, Islam Nusantara is regarded as primordially charged, anti-Arab and is even accused of being a new strategy of the Liberal Islam Network, Westerners, Zionists and the like.

With such a background of controversy, any attempt to dissect the discourse of Islam on the archipelago from doctrinal and historical perspective becomes indispensable. How is Islam Nusantara seen from the viewpoint of fiqh and ushul fiqh? What is the relationship between the universality of Islam, local culture and Arab culture? These are but some of the questions addressed in this book.

Akhmad Sahal, a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, is the acting deputy chief of the NU’s American and Canadian special branch.

Munawir Aziz is a young researcher and student at the Centre for Religious and Cross-Cultural Studies, Graduate School, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta.

Book of Sufi CartoonsKitab Komik Sufi

Bayu Priambodo

This is a collection of comics adapted from Sufi traditions. Some of the stories originate from Sufi classics such as Ihya Ulumuddin by Al-Ghazali and Al-Auliya by Fariduddin Atthar. Others are sagas passed down orally from ancient times.

These Sufi stories are presented in entertaining cartoons that manage to convey the wisdom of the original works without detracting from their essence. Basic concepts of Sufism such as the immaculateness of the heart, compassion and tolerance are universal values that can be accepted by people from various ethnic backgrounds, nations and even religions.

The stories typically involve a Sheik and his pupils, dervishes (travelling Sufis) and address daily problems faced by human beings. Funny and exciting, the stories will elevate readers’ awareness.

Bayu Priambodo was born in Jakarta in December 1982. He studied at the Faculty of Art and Design at Trisakti University, Jakarta, and at Ecole d’Art Maryse Eloy, Paris. His interest in Sufism began in college and grew considerably when he joined a Sufi order from Morocco. Back then, one of his dreams was to adapt classic Sufi stories into comics. Now, with the support of his wife Adel and his young son Zaza, this dream has finally come true.

God within the Human MindTuhan dalam Otak Manusia

Taufiq Pasiak

Nowadays, people are increasingly realising the importance of a holistic lifestyle that is not only concerned with material aspects but also emphasises the importance of spiritual life in achieving complete health. However, in reality, the behaviour of most people—in layman and professional circles alike—is yet to reflect the integration of both sides of this life. This is because the current paradigm of modern science is still unable to bring them together.

This book discusses a new discourse on spiritual health. The author, a leading Indonesian neuroscience expert, explains the developments of science, including the new discipline of spiritual neuroscience, which shows the close relationship between spirituality, how the brain works and health.

In this book, you will find valuable information on:• The definition and importance of spiritual health• The relationship between the brain and religious attitudes• The influence of faith on health• Examples of scientific measurement of levels of spirituality

This book will show how the brain works in religious life, ways to improve the quality of spirituality, the role of the meaning of life to health and measures to achieve spiritual health.

“This is a remarkable book.It describes the spiritual health that we are aware of, but do not notice. I advise every psychiatrist colleague to read it”—Sasanti Yuniar, chair of the Psychiatric Department, Airlangga University, Surabaya

Taufiq Pasiak is the founder of the Center for Neuroscience, Health and Spirituality, Kalidjaga Islamic University, Yogyakarta. He is also a consultant there.

A Simple LifeDesi Anwar

If there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s making our lives complicated. We fill them with expectations, anxieties and fears. We fret about the past, we worry about the future, we ignore the present. We seek fulfilment in material things and happiness in wishful thinking, often at the expense of the riches that already surround us.

A Simple Life is a collection of musings, observations and thoughts that Desi Anwar has gathered from her experiences, childhood recollections and perspectives, as well as habits that she tries to adopt in navigating the complexities of everyday life. Ordinary things such as appreciating nature, finding time to sit back and relax, developing a cheerful and positive attitude, taking care of our physical and mental health, keeping an open mind and a whole host of other matters that may seem simple on the surface, but are often difficult to achieve because we seldom give ourselves time.

And yet these are the very things that can make us feel truly content and give meaning to our lives.

Read these essays at your leisure, find inspiration from the anecdotes, and make the book a friend when you need comfort and cheering up any day of the week.

Desi Anwar is a leading TV anchor and journalist in Indonesia with well over two decades of experience. Desi started her career during the birth of the country’s television industry and was at the forefront of Indonesia’s transition from an authoritarian regime into a full-fledged democracy, with the daily news and current affairs programmes that she anchored.

Desi has interviewed many heads of states and influential international figures. Moreover, Desi is also a prolific writer. Over the years, she was a regular columnist for Indonesia’s English language dailies, the Indonesian Observer, The Jakarta Post and The Jakarta Globe, as well as the news magazine Tempo.

We Indonesians RulePrimo Rizky (editor)

Julia’s JihadJulia Suryakusuma

Does the proliferation of jilbabs (headscarves) in Indonesia since 1998 mean the nation has gone hardline? How did democracy happen in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, and will it stick? Is the term ‘Muslim feminist’ an oxymoron? Do Muslims even like sex?

Julia’s Jihad provides the answer to these question and much, much more: how the nation struggles to maintain the ‘unity in diversity’ of its 300 ethnic groups; how it practises ‘political cannibalism’ to deal with its human rights problems; how environmentally we ‘burn our own house down’, plus a whole lot of the other weird and wacky things that make Indonesia the fascinating bundle of contradictions that it is.

“Julia’s Jihad is jihad in fourth gear in the struggle for openness, rationality, humanity and, naturally, women – all spiced with a big dose of humor and wit that shakes up the reader. Reading Julia, you keep on laughing until you suddenly realise that what she is writing about is not funny but very, very serious.” —Franz Magnis-Suseno, Professor at Driyarkara School of Philosophy

A Blanket of DustSelimut Debu

Agustinus Wibowo

They have a joke about a man who goes to the market to buy a goat’s head.

‘How much?’ asks the buyer.‘Fifty afghani,’ says the seller. A dollar.‘Fifty? That’s too expensive! How about twenty?’‘Twenty? Are you mad? What do you think this is? A human head?’

Agustinus Wibowo began his love affair with Afghanistan as a clueless backpacker travelling through the landmines just two years after the fall of the Taliban. From its peaceful snow-capped mountains on the Roof of the World to its terrorised southern deserts, from its ancient cities to its legendary Central Route, from the ironic jokes of its teahouses to the rape attempts of its boy-players, the author seeks to discover an Afghanistan untold by the media. A colourful Afghanistan beneath its blanket of dust.

Agustinus Wibowo, an Indonesian travel writer and photographer of Chinese descent, grew up in East Java and spent nine years studying and working in China. The question of identity dominated his early life, forming his unique perspective in viewing the world around him. His years of overland journeying have taken him to the Himalayas, the borderlands of the Central Asian republics, and the remotest corners of Afghanistan.

Borderlands: A Journey to Central AsiaGaris Batas

Agustinus Wibowo

Not unlike oxygen, the border is invisible, yet our every breath is affected by it.

A twenty-metre wide river separates Afghanistan from Tajikistan a century away. Tajikistan boasts of national heroes and ancient cities, while the same heroes and cities are also claimed by neighbouring Uzbekistan. A Dungan Muslim in Kyrgyzstan longs for his ancestral land in China, while a Kazakh is proud to speak Russian better than the Russians themselves. Meanwhile, Turkmenistan is isolated in its own utopia, under the shine of the Great Leader who promised the entire nation a Golden Century.

Central Asia possesses some of the world’s most absurd history and borders. Seduced by the mystery of the ‘Stans’, Agustinus Wibowo crosses the border river of Afghanistan and explores the former Soviet Central Asian republics to understand what it means to belong to one nation, one people, one custom and one reality.

With the critical eye of a journalist, yet also with the irony and humour of a tourist, not only will Agustinus accompany you to enjoy the rough roads and thrilling adventures to the most improbable of borders, but also to explore the borders that reside inside the deepest recesses of your mind.

Agustinus Wibowo

After ten years wandering the world, Agustinus Wibowo has finally come home. He is now forced to face a reality that he has always feared. His mother is on the brink of death as cancer ravages her body.

Not unlike Scheherazade, who reads one thousand and one tales over as many nights, the traveller recounts his journey to his ailing mother, who has barely ever left their little village in Java, Indonesia.

He talks about the illusory homeland of China, the holy Tibet, the spiritual Nepal, the dramatic India, the struggling Pakistan and the surviving Afghanistan. And along with these stories, his mother finally finds a voice to recount her own life journey. Fragments of their lives come together, two distinctive roads spanning time and distance only to converge, to become a heart-wrenching tale of love and survival.
