Abstract

This study highlights labour dynamics and socio-economic conditions at the Mijnbouw Maatschappij Redjang-Lebong (MMRL) gold mine in the late 1920s to 1930s. This research aims to analyze the treatment of labourers in the most significant gold and silver mining in the Dutch East Indies, MMRL. The method used in this research is the historical method with the research steps of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The result shows fluctuations in the number of labourers and budget allocations for labour wages, explosives and other necessities from 1928 to 1936. Daily labourers significantly declined from 979 in December 1929 to 744 in December 1930. Differences in payment systems and benefits for contract, casual, and day labourers are also described, reflecting variations in wages and health facilities received. Occupational injuries and work-related illnesses were a common problem, with many labourers sustaining severe injuries as a result of the mine’s non-stop operations. MMRL provides medical facilities and implements health measures, but there remains a high risk of respiratory illness and other injuries. The excellent relationship between company owner H.J.A. Sanders and the labourers is also an essential factor in the social life of the labourers

Abstract

This study highlights the significant role of Siti Baroroh Baried in the intellectual transformation of post-colonial higher education at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) between 1946 and 1963. It aims to analyze and reconstruct her scholarly contributions to the development of philological studies, as well as her pioneering role in establishing the Department of Arabic Literature at UGM. Her work reflected a broader shift in post-colonial academic thought through her influence on academic discourse, institutional practices, and women’s participation in intellectual life at UGM. The method used in this research is the historical method, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The result shows the strong ethical and intellectual foundation in Siti Baroroh Baried stemmed from her family background in the Kauman, Yogyakarta, which highly upheld religious values and education. Beginning in 1946, she received significant support from several progressive-minded UGM lecturers. This support created a more inclusive and egalitarian intellectual environment, enabling the active participation of women without being limited by gender stereotypes. Through her scholarly work and teaching practices, Baried contributed to the advancement of philological studies by introducing systematic approaches to Arabic texts, developing early instructional materials, and institutionalizing Arabic literary studies at Universitas Gadjah Mada in 1962. This study argues that Siti Baroroh Baried represents a form of post-colonial female intellectualism, manifested through her academic leadership, institutional role, and lasting contributions to Arabic literary studies at Universitas Gadjah Mada.
