Abstract

ABSTRACT: Historical interpretation must look for what people did on their historical circle. On one hand, history hermeneuitcs is an effort to understand people’s self-knowledge that what people know is a truth or a reality from their own worldview. On the other hand, history hermeneutics tries to make a new perspective that what happen now is unseparable from past. This is why hermeneutics of history might be used to make  an interpretation about the truth itself. Based on history hermeneutics, I try to make an analysis about Chinese and Moluccans contact during spices trade period. This study based on social changes in Maluku on economic and social life. I want to study the mutual economic model by Asian, something different with economic model by European which so politically.KEY WORDS: history hermeneutics, social changes, interpretation and understanding, and Chinese and Moluccans relations in Maluku.About the Author: Bety D.S.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The position of English literature, especially its novels in the 19th century as the proponent of English imperialism-colonialism, proved that literature – as another discipline as well – would not be an innocent discipline, and never has been. English literature was then placed as the hegemonic power, which manifested in the imperial-colonial discourses to sustain imperialism-colonialism, since the power of its content can leave an influence behind the colonized people. From this stance as well, then, the politics of English language appeared to accompany the imperial-colonial discourses. The politics of English language in English literature was the foremost notion of English language growth or expansion all over the world, which is nowadays known by several names, such as Global English(es), World English(es), and English as an International Language. The result of the research showed that the two novels, “Lord Jim” written by Joseph Conrad (1992) and “Kim” written by Rudyard Kipling (1993), were indeed the imperial-colonial texts which reflected and represented the imperial-colonial discourses and the politics of English language within their narratives. In the imperial-colonial discourses, the two novels represented the characteristics of hegemony and power, hybrid cultural identity, and politics of difference and racism which representatively existed there, as well as the ideological interests of their narratives to be a system of statements (theorizing knowledge) which theorizes the colonized (indigenous) people. KEY WORDS: English Literature; Imperialism; Colonialism; Discourse; Politics of English Language.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: When the British established a vast empire in Asia and Africa, they faced the basic problem, because they dominated over the existing political authorities.In most parts of their dominions, they had adopted a system of utilizing the pre-existing political authority, indigenous rulers or traditional chiefs, to carry out most of the processes of local government. This was the situation where an imperial power did not supersede the pre-existing political authority, but established its dominance over it, where traditional rulers were allowed to exercise as before in the local governance. This system is called “Indirect Rule”, which stood for a Government through the pre-existing political authority. This was a well-established system of British colonial administration and was followed in Africa, Malaya States, and elsewhere. The British system of indirect rule was the exercise of determinative influence and exclusive political control over a nominally sovereign State, a control recognized by both sides. Under it, the administration of native State continued to exist under the aegis of the imperial power. But the traditional rulers, who continued to rule under the domination of the imperial power, had lost their independence and were subject to supervision and owed allegiance to the imperial authority. Under such conditions, the district Officers and Residents became the guardians of their power and authority. Not surprisingly, these local authorities came to be identified with the interests of the British. In fact, the British system of indirect rule was motivated by the basic principles of governing a large territory with minimum expenditure.KEY WORDS: Dominions, indigenous, local governance, indirect rule, sovereign state, imperial power,  Residents, and British and India.About the Author: Dr. Anil Kumar Sarkar is an Assistant Professor in History at the ABN (Acharya Brojendra Nath) Seal College, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Africa continent has under-gone various historical phases, like other continents of the world. It will, therefore, tantamount to mono-causer argument to justify the condition of the continent based on the impact of a phase without giving reference to other phases, as it appears to be the central argument of the proponents of dependency theory. However, Africa was once a centre of civilization. In the context of reality, it is more or less a paradox of history in the twenty-first century. Africa’s glory is benighted and riddles in the expression of rhetoric and illusion. The continent is imploded and ravaged with multidimensional problems. Some scholars attributed the phenomenon to the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism, while others saw it as a matter of destiny. This paper uses the lens of history to give a panoramic evaluation of its socio-political and economic situations in the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial eras. The study argues that even though the present situation of Africa continent leans on its past, slave trade, and colonialism can no longer be used exclusively as viable evidence for its stagnation and backwardness in the world history. It argues that Africa’s problems are with Africans, and there would be no change in the situation if Africans continue with the strategy of external aids, assistance, technology transfer from Europe and Americas. There is the need for structural overhauling of African systems, most especially the enemies of moral, political, educational, and economy.KEY WORDS: Africa, paradox of history, slave trade, colonialism, military, corruption, strategy of external aids, and structural overhauling of African systems.About the Author: Paul Ilesanmi Akanmidu, Ph.D. is a Lecturer at the Department of History & International Studies, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State in Africa.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: One of the most tremendous events in the history of Southeast Asia is the massive wave of Islamization, the process that still attracts big curiosity among the historians. Islamization has radically replaced the centuries-rooted pre-Islamic belief. Based on the fact that Islamization took place in the period of lively commerce of Southeast Asia, many have said that one of the strong motivations being Muslim was economic gains. Kingdoms and courts which mainly located in coastal ports whereby Islamization vigorously took place, gained much more state wealth from the 15-17th commercial activities. This paper examines this conclusion by looking at the phenomena deeper into indigenous worldview from the psycho-social perspective. Exploring Southeast Asian religious conversion from psycho-social perspective has come to the conclusion that indigenous converters did not merely see Islam as a religion, as a set of doctrinal worship. Global community, international cooperation and massive commercial activities conducted by Muslim traders have in fact served a value that converting to Islam meant changing identity to a brighter future.KEY WORDS: the massive wave of Islamization, kingdoms and courts, Southeast Asians, and psycho-social perspective.  About the Author: Moeflich Hasbullah, M.A. is a Lecturer at the Department of Islamic History and Civilization, Faculty of Literature, Islamic State University (UIN) Sunan Gunung Djati in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
