Indonesia is known as a multiethnic country that has extraordinary cultural richness, consisting of hundreds of ethnic groups, regional languages, and local traditions that coexist in one national unit.

Modern Indonesian literature, especially those that developed from the post-independence era to the contemporary era, is not only a space to narrate individual experiences, but also a means to represent social dynamics, including the issue of ethnic identity.
