This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty, unemployment and a lack of education are some of the driving forces behind increasing numbers of Indonesian women who seek to migrate abroad. The migration of women migrant workers influences the condition of their family because they must leave their traditional gender role and position in their household. This condition causes many social problems. This research is aimed to describe deeply 2 points, i.e. 1) the changing of position and role of women migrant workers in their household and outside household; 2) the impact of that changing to the life quality of women migrant workers and their families. This research is carried out in Waru Doyong village, which sends many women migrant workers since several years ago, by employing case study method with gender perspective. The early results show that poverty forced many women in Waru Doyong, who have limited education and skills, to migrate to work at Middle East and other Asian countries. They leave their traditional gender role in their household and shift their domestic jobs to other female family members such as mother or mother in law. However this changing of gender role is not leaded to gender equality but on exploitation, so that it cannot improve the quality of life of them and their families. Furthermore they still are trapped in the circle of poverty.

Download or read book In Sickness and in Wealth written by Carol Chan and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in migration studies examines the cultural context of villages in Central Java and their influence on those who pursue migrant labor. Villagers in Indonesia hear a steady stream of stories about the injuries, abuses, and even deaths suffered by those who migrate in search of work. So why do hundreds of thousands of Indonesian workers continue to migrate every year? Carol Chan explores this question from the perspective of the origin community and provides a fascinating look at how gender, faith, and shame shape these decisions to migrate. Chan reveals how villagers evaluate men’s and women’s migrations differently. This disparity leads to different ideas about which kinds of human or financial flows should be encouraged and which should be discouraged or even criminalized. Despite routine and well-documented instances of exploitation of Indonesian migrant workers, some villagers still emphasize that a migrant’s success or failure ultimately depends on that individual’s morality, fate, and destiny. Indonesian villagers construct strategies for avoiding migration-related risks that are closely linked to faith and belief in supernatural agency. These strategies shape the flow of migration from the country and help to ensure the continued confidence Indonesian people have in migration as an act of promise and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By integrating migration research in a comprehensive framework of labour allocation at household and village levels, this study shows how migration factors are crucial in understanding the transformations of rural communities in developing countries. Data collected in 4 villages within a wet rice-growing area of Central Java, Indonesia, are used to examine why some villages and households contribute a greater share of migrants than others. The decision to migrate is located within the constraints and opportunities of local labour markets, and migration is treated as one among many alternatives for allocating the labour of household members. The type of labour allocation choices made is lined to the demographic structure of households, the social position of the household, and the employment opportunities available within the community. These factors are then related to processes of rural development.

Book excerpt: Panji's Quest is a love story set before the reign of King Kameswara of Kadiri (r. 1135-1185). It is a part of the only original Indonesian stories that have been widely disseminated for centuries and were later combined into the Panji Tales. On October 30, 2017, UNESCO included The Tale of Panji in their "Memory of The World" documentary series. In Panji's Quest Panji, crown prince of the kingdom of Janggala and Sekartaji, crown princess of the kingdom of Kadiri, have been engaged since they were youngsters. However, the wedding does not proceed as planned by their parents. One month before the wedding ceremony Panji falls in love with Angreni, the daughter of the prime minister of Janggala. Panji and Angreni marry. Panji decides he wants only one wife and refuses to marry Sekartaji. Panji's father becomes enraged when he hears that Panji has canceled his marriage with Sekartaji. As the king of Janggala, Panji's father had planned to reunite the kingdoms of Janggala and Kadiri through this marriage. Faced with the dilemma that Panji's refusal to marry Sekartaji might ignite a war between the two kingdoms, the Janggala king orders the murder of Angreni and sends Panji to visit his aunt. When Panji returns from his visit and finds that his wife has been kidnapped, he immediately starts to search for his wife. When Panji finds his wife's dead body on a remote beach buried under angsana flowers, his pain is so deep that he goes crazy. He puts his wife's body on a ship and, with his shipmates, heads out to sea. A storm hits their ship, stranding Panji and his shipmates on a beach at the far eastern end of the island of Java. With great difficulty, Panji's shipmates finally persuade him to bury his wife. To help Panji overcome his grief, they suggest to Panji to become a warrior. They advise him to disguise himself. Panji changes his name to Kelana Jayengsari and becomes a well-known warlord. Word of his fame reaches the ears of Sekartaji's father, the king of Kadiri who is under the threat of an imminent invasion by King Metaun's army. King Metaun was scorned because Sekartaji had rejected his proposal of marriage. When the invasion of Kadiri occurs, Kelana Jayengsari, with his comrades, not only repel the invaders but also kill King Metaun. As his reward, Kelana Jayengsari is given Sekartaji to marry. The news of Kelana Jayengsari and Sekartaji's betrothal infuriates the king and lords of Janggala. In their minds, Sekartaji was still engaged to their missing crown prince. Janggala decides to attack Kadiri. But when Janggala's army arrives at Kadiri's borders, Kelana Jayengsari meets the generals of Janggala. It becomes immediately clear that Kelana Jayengsari is Panji. The story ends with the wedding of Panji and Sekartaji. In 1185 CE Panji is crowned king of Kadiri. He rules over the united kingdoms of Kadiri and Janggala and becomes known as King Kameswara.

As a young girl of the Dani tribe in Papua, Dutch missionaries take her to the city under the pretense of adopting her. Mabel quickly adapts to being domestic help and is eager to learn, but her request to attend school is denied. When Mabel returns to village life years later, her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Leksi, join her. The women work in the fields all day long, and Mabel sells the fruits and vegetables in the open market. Living in Papua is a battle between tradition and the new: for the Papuan people this means leaving the land and working in the gold mining operation on the Holy Mountain, home of the spirits of the Amungme people. The mining company takes the labor from many Papuans and only gives riches to very few. Mabel holds on to the traditional way of life, and dares to speak out against injustice during a fierce election.

Download or read book Kei written by Erni Aladjai and published by Dalang Pub. This book was released on 2014 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Muslim woman and Protestant man find love during a religious conflict that threatens to consume the Pacific islands of Kei. At the end of Suharto's New Order, the Kei people hold on to their traditions as they flee the violence that divides Muslim from Christian and destroys the villages. Namira, a Muslim girl, works as a volunteer in a refugee camp when she meets Sala, a young Protestant man. Grounded in the islander's belief of "We drink from the same spring and eat from the same land, the land of Kei," the two fall in love amid the chaos that will soon separate them. Erni Aladjai earned her degree in French literature from the Hasannudin University in Sulawesi. She has worked as a journalist and news editor, and managed a learning institution. Her novel, Kei, took first place in the 2011 Jakarta Arts Council novel competition. Erni is also the author of Pesan Cinta dari Hujan (Messages of Love from the Rain, Insist Press, 2010) and Ning di Bawah Gerhana (Ning Under Eclipse, Bumen Pustaka Emas, 2013). Kei is a brave first novel exploring the troubled entanglement of two young lovers who find themselves on opposing sides in the sectarian violence that marked the dawning of the twenty-first century in the Moluccas. The Kei islands form the southern flank of the Spice Islands, the scattering of small islands whose cloves and nutmeg launched Christopher Columbus' ships, brought the Western world to its shores, and helped change the shape of history. Erni Aladjai invites the reader into a world marked by conflict and loss-heritage of the long era of colonial domination-but also, and importantly, writes of love, healing, and hope, rooted in the power of age-old local customs to make peace possible. -Sylvia Tiwon, Associate Professor, University of California at Berkeley Strong in local color and portraying the rich culture of the island communities, Kei is about the events that are an unspoken part of Indonesian history. Erni Aladjai shows the reader that the horrors of the past need to be remembered, so they will not be repeated in the future. -Melani Budianta, Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies, University of Indonesia Kei tells the story of two young islanders, Namira and Sala, who discover love in the midst of violence. Though of different faiths, they are united in the strong belief that the best way to express love is to be selfless and care about the needs of others. A sincere heart is the only cure for dangerous times. -Josephina Maria Mantik, Faculty of Humanities, University of Indonesia
