<![CDATA[This research aims to examine the impact of colonialism's influence on the lives of the coastal society of Pariaman, West Sumatra, focusing on cultural, social and economic interactions. The research's foundation is Ivan Adilla's short novel Nakhoda Pesisir Barat, which recounts the late 19th-century life of a merchant named Muhammad Saleh under Dutch colonial rule.

However, colonial dominance also produced subordinate systems that had an impact on the psychology and identity of the coastal inhabitants of Pariaman.]]>
