1996/1997 Conflict in West Kalimantan: A Historical Recollection
Keywords:
Konflik, Kalimantan, horizontal inequalities, violence, “ethnicized” perceptionsSynopsis
The 1996/1997 Conflict in West Kalimantan: A Historical Recollection provides a critical examination of the tragic
communal violence between the Dayak, Malay, and Madurese communities during the end of Indonesia's New Order regime. Utilizing Frances Stewart’s framework of horizontal inequalities, this book investigates the socio-economic, political, and cultural dimensions underlying the bloodshed. This book also challenges prevailing cultural explanations by highlighting systemic issues, including transmigration policies, natural resource exploitation,
and the marginalizing effects of local political restructuring.
By presenting empirical data, this book offers profound insights into the complex interactions between ethnic identity and state policy. This book can be considered as an essential resource for researchers and students interested in conflict studies, horizontal inequalities, and the political history of West Kalimantan.
