Abstract

Artikel ini akan menyajikan pembahasan historiografi tentang bagaimana ilmuwan non-Cina (maksudnya Barat) menjelaskan keberadaan kaum minoritas Muslim Cina (Hui) dalam penulisan sejarah Cina modern. Empat karya ilmuwan Barat tentang Muslim Cina tersebut akan dibandingkan. Sekalipun kelompok Hui Muslim secara formal telah diakui sebagai bagian dari mayoritas Han, narasi sejarah tentang Hui masih kalah banyak dibandingkan dengan kelompok mayoritas. Karya-karya yang ada saat ini tentang Hui baik ditulis oleh ahli asli Cina maupun asing masih belum memadai, tetapi penting untuk disajikan. Terdapat dua pendekatan di kalangan akademisi yang dominan digunakan, yakni kesesuaian dan ketidaksesuaian Islam dan tradisi Cina dalam menjelaskan keberadaan Islam dan Cina yang diwakili masing-masing oleh kelompok Hui dan kelompok Han. Setelah membandingkan keempat karya akademisi non-Cina atas Hui, akan ditutup dengan usulan pentingnya menggunakan berbagai pendekatan dalam memahami sejarah lokal Hui, yang sepatutnya peranan mereka harus lebih ditonjolkan dalam konteks keterkaitan antara minoritas dengan sejarah mayoritas dan dunia Islam. This paper will address a historiographical review on how non-Chinese scholars, mostly those Western specialists, describe minority Moslem of Hui in the scholarly narration of modern China. Four scholarly works on China Moslems are comparativelly discussed. Although the Hui have formally been recognized as the minority group within the Han majority, Chinese historical materials on Hui are not significant. Recenlty, works on Hui either written by local or non-Chinese scholars remain artificial, but they are necessarily important to be explored. There has been dominantly known scholars consider two perspetives in dealing with Islam and Chinesness in China, the compatibility and incompatibility of Islam with the Chinese tradition and values, where both are respectivelly represnted by the minority Hui and the majority Han. Finally, in term of understanding Chinese Moslem in modern China, the paper will urge the importance of deploying mixed perspectives and of making Chinese-centered perspective the matter of writting local history while incorporating the minority within the wider historical narration of the majority of Han and the Islamic world.

Abstract

The rise of the Khalwatīyah Sammān Sufi Order (tarekat) in South Sulawesi in the second half of the nineteen century should not be seen as just another local religious phenomenon. The rapid growth of its reputation among commoners occurred in conjunction with the influence of global Islam brought to the area in the form of Wahabism from the Haramayn (Mecca and Medina), the center of Islam, and the local political consequences of the Bongaya Treaty between the ruler of Gowa and the Dutch in 1667. The political and social grievances the Treaty caused on the one hand and the religious elitism of formal religious leaders (parewa sarak) on the other also contributed to the impact the order was to have. The commoners widely accepted the order because of its uncomplicated way of the performance of its ritual (dhikr), while the patronage of its leaders with the royal members offered local power holders added to the order’s popularity among the elites.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i2.4186

Abstract

The paper discusses how President Joko Widodo articulated Islamic identity in his Foreign Policy during his first period of Presidency, 2014-2019. Through Constructivism approach and the concept of identity operated eclectically, the study finds that the factor of Islamic identity, to some extent, has contributed to the formation and implementation of foreign policy during this period. The Islamic identity can be approved by analytical descriptive explanation as it considered as the common measurement in international relation discipline, which is the platform and foreign policy orientation of Jokowi, in addition to his consistent diplomacy for Muslim world like Saudi Arabia-Iran conflict, Rohingya crisis, Afghanistan, and the existing two President Special Envoys for Middle East and OIC and for Cultural Cooperation and Interfaith Dialogues. This study shows that Jokowi was anti-Islam as accused by many during this period. Theoretically, the constructivism approach offers a new perspective on understanding the relationship of Islam and state in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Radikalisme dan terorisme merupakan ancaman yang masih dihadapi oleh negara-negara di Asia Tenggara. Radikalisme didefinisikan sebagai sebuah pandangan yang ingin melakukan perubahan radikal sesuai dengan ideologi yang diyakininya atau tafsirannya berdasarkan realitas sosial. Radikalisme yang sering kali disandingkan dengan kata agama memunculkan terminologi baru yaitu radikalisme agama. Radikalisme seringkali menjadi titik awal terbentuknya terorisme. Fenomena radikalisme dan terorisme bukan merupakan sesuatu yang muncul dari keyakinan tanpa sebab. Dalam konteks internasional, istilah terorisme telah digunakan dan diperkenalkan oleh Liga Bangsa-Bangsa (LBB), kemudian Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB). Radikalisme dan terorisme menjadi diskursus kritis dan isu global yang diperbincangkan oleh banyak pihak, mulai cendekiawan hingga para pembuat kebijakan (decision makers) di berbagai negara. Negara-negara di kawasan Asia Tenggara (ASEAN) didapati telah mempersepsikan fenomena radikalisme dan terorisme sebagai salah satu ancaman bagi pemeliharaan dan keberlangsungan keamanannya. Di Indonesia, keruntuhan rezim Orde Baru di bawah kepemimpinan Presiden Soeharto telah berimplikasi secara langsung terhadap keterbukaan ruang publik bagi masyarakat sipil seperti organisasi masyarakat (Ormas). Dengan demikian, multitrack diplomacy berupa dialog dan kerja sama antara institusi agama dan masyarakat sipil (civil society) perlu diwujudkan dalam rangka memperkuat langkah dan upaya pemerintah negara-negara ASEAN dalam mencegah dan menanggulangi radikalisme dan terorisme di kawasan Asia Tenggara.

Abstract

Despite their long existence in Nusantara, the Chinese ethnic groups remain less represented or even misrepresented in the history of Indonesia, resulting in negative stereotypes and attitudes towards the community. Sejarah Nasional Indonesia (SNI) and history textbooks for schools and universities, for instance, do not provide adequate narratives about Chinese contributions to Indonesian politics and economy during the pre- and post-independence era. This study aims to critically analyse the representation of Chinese ethnicities in the modern history of Indonesia, more specifically, the SNI and history textbooks for Islamic schools and universities. The findings of the study suggest that there was an unwritten history of Chinese and Chinese Muslims, especially during the Sukarno and Suharto regimes, which then Abdurrahman Wahid began to include. The study recommends new narratives of Chinese Muslims in modern Indonesian history by proposing some notable scholars who extensively worked on the History of Islam in Java, to which Chinese Muslims had contributed. [Kendati sudah berada di Indonesia berabad-abad lamanya, etnis Tionghoa tidak banyak tercatat dalam narasi sejarah Indonesia. Misrepresentasi etnis Tionghoa di Nusantara bahkan menyebabkan adanya stereotip dan sikap negatif terhadap etnis tersebut. Sejarah Nasional Indonesia (SNI) dan buku teks sejarah di sekolah dan universitas, misalnya, tidak banyak menyebutkan kontribusi etnis Tionghoa secara politik maupun ekonomi selama masa pra dan pasca kemerdekaan. Studi ini merupakan analisis kritis terhadap representasi etnis Tionghoa dalam sejarah modern Indonesia, khususnya dalam Sejarah Nasional Indonesia (SNI) dan buku teks sejarah di sekolah dan kampus Islam. Temuan kajian menunjukkan adanya sejarah yang tidak tercatat tentang peran Muslim Tionghoa selama rezim Sukarno dan Suharto, yang kemudian mulai diubah oleh rezim Gus Dur. Studi ini merekomendasikan adanya penulisan ulang sejarah Muslim Tionghoa di Indonesia dengan mengintegrasikan temuan studi beberapa sarjana ternama yang banyak meneliti mengenai Islam di Jawa dan peran etnis Tionghoa di dalamnya.]

Abstract

Although there are some incoming ethnicities in Borneo such as Malays, Chinese, Buginese, Javanese and Madurese, only with Madurese that the indigenous Dayaks conflicted with, despite being in the same faith that is Islam. This paper discusses ethnic conflict that occurred in Sambas District, West Borneo in 1999 between the indigenous Dayaks and the immigrant Madurese. Using Schmidt and Schroder’s (2001) framework of violent acts and social ramifications, this article looks into contributing factors of this conflict and how these factors interrelated. The study finds that Sambas outbreak was driven by an external factor such as central government’s transmigration policy that impacted on Dayak traditional lands and forests and economic deprivation. Additionally, there was also accumulating historical clash between Dayaks and Madurese, fueling the hatred toward the transmigrating group. An important finding to note is that Dayak Muslims and Malays also shared religious belief as do Dayak Muslims and Madurese, but they did not conflict with each other. This study suggests that ethnicity needs to be considered when dealing with conflicts in local areas, and state government should take into account the local political and economic constellation before enforcing transmigration policy.
