Abstract

The Japanese occupation of Indonesia from 1942 to 1945 transformed colonial society through the implementation of a wartime economic system designed to sustain Japanese military expansion in the Pacific. Within this context, mass media functioned not merely as channels of information but as strategic instruments of economic propaganda and colonial discourse. This study examines how the newspaper Asia Raya, published in Jakarta, was utilised to build public support for the Japanese war agenda and to disseminate ideological narratives on economic mobilisation, social discipline, and cultural integration. The research employs a historical method with a qualitative approach through textual analysis of Asia Raya archival materials from Khastara, complemented by books and scholarly journal sources. The findings reveal that Asia Raya systematically framed economic policies, labour mobilisation, and wartime sacrifice as collective moral responsibilities, thereby legitimising Japanese political authority in occupied Indonesia. The study demonstrates that the newspaper operated not only as a propaganda medium but also as a mechanism for shaping colonial perceptions and regulating public consciousness during wartime. This research contributes to the historiography of the Japanese occupation by emphasising the interconnection among wartime media, economic propaganda, and colonial power relations.

Abstract

This study examines the historical development, contemporary practice, and symbolic meanings of the tolak bala tradition in Kuta Jungak Village, Pakpak Bharat Regency. The research explores how the tradition evolved, how it is implemented today, and how its meanings are interpreted amid socio-cultural change. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review, and analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the tradition originated from indigenous beliefs and later underwent Islamization, integrating Islamic prayers with local cultural symbols within the Sulang Silima kinship system. The ritual functions as a spiritual safeguard, a medium of social solidarity, and a marker of cultural identity. Its decline is associated with modernization, changing religious perspectives, weakening traditional authority, and reduced youth participation. The study concludes that the tolak bala tradition demonstrates the coexistence of Islamic acculturation and local wisdom while facing significant challenges from contemporary social transformation.

Abstract

Al-Masudi (d. 956 CE), best known for Muruj al-Dhahab wa Maadin al-Jawhar (The Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems), occupies an important position in the development of classical Islamic historiography. This study examines the historiographical method employed by Al-Masudi and evaluates its contribution to historical writing in the medieval Islamic world. Using the historical method through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the research analyzes methodological features reflected in his major works. The findings indicate that Al-Masudi adopted an empirical, multidisciplinary, and comparative approach to historiography by combining observations derived from extensive travel with critical engagement with transmitted reports. His method incorporated geographical, ethnographic, and environmental perspectives within a thematic framework (al-tasnif al-mawdhu'i), allowing for a broader interpretation of historical phenomena. His engagement with diverse civilizations is reflected in his efforts to document and compare the customs, beliefs, and social practices of different societies rather than confining his narratives to a single cultural perspective. The study argues that Al-Masudi’s historiographical approach represents an important development within the Islamic intellectual tradition and continues to offer valuable insights for contemporary discussions on interdisciplinary and empirically informed historical inquiry.

Abstract

This study examines the architecture of the Bagas Godang of the Huristak Kingdom in Padang Lawas, a cultural heritage with historical, social, and symbolic significance. Previous studies on Mandailing traditional architecture have primarily emphasized physical forms and typologies, while paying limited attention to the transformation of social functions and cultural acculturation embodied in the Huristak Bagas Godang. This study aims to analyze the evolution of its social functions, architectural characteristics, and cultural meanings. Employing a historical approach within a descriptive-analytical framework, the research applied heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with traditional leaders, and a literature review. The findings indicate that Bagas Godang Huristak has transformed from a center of traditional authority into a cultural institution that remains relevant in contemporary society. Architecturally, the building reflects an acculturation of Mandailing and Malay traditions, evident in its structural system, roof form, spatial organization, and ornamental motifs. This study contributes to traditional architecture and heritage studies by demonstrating that Bagas Godang serves not only as an architectural artifact but also as a symbol of cultural identity, social continuity, and historical adaptation, underscoring its importance for preservation.

Abstract

This study examines the historical traces of Sriwijaya's influence in the Portibi region through a historical investigation of the Bahal Temple Complex in North Padang Lawas, a site whose role within Sriwijaya's regional network remains insufficiently explored in Indonesian historiography. The study reconstructs the historical background of the temple complex, identifies archaeological and historical evidence reflecting Sriwijaya's influence, and analyzes its significance within the cultural landscape of the Pannai Kingdom. The research employs the historical method through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, supported by field observations, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and documentary analysis of scholarly publications, archaeological reports, and official records. The findings demonstrate that the Bahal Temple Complex, an eleventh-century Vajrayana Buddhist monument, preserves historical traces of Sriwijaya's influence through its architectural characteristics, red-brick construction, spatial organization, Buddhist iconography, and strategic location along an ancient riverine transportation network. These findings indicate that the Portibi region formed part of a wider political, religious, and commercial sphere associated with the Pannai Kingdom under the influence of Sriwijaya. This study contributes to Indonesian historiography by integrating historical, archaeological, and geographical evidence to provide a more comprehensive interpretation of Sriwijaya's regional influence in North Sumatra while reinforcing the historical importance of the Bahal Temple Complex as one of the most significant archaeological legacies of the Sriwijaya period.

Abstract

This study examines gender-based oppression and exploitation experienced by female contract laborers in the Deli tobacco plantations between 1870 and 1930. It explores how the colonial plantation system shaped women’s position and exposed them to social, economic, and sexual inequality. This research draws on a qualitative literature review of books, scholarly articles, historical reports, and other relevant historical sources. The findings show that female laborers occupied a subordinate position within the plantation workforce. They were assigned low-paid work, subjected to strict supervision, and received minimal labor protection. The gender imbalance within plantation communities also contributed to the expansion of prostitution, exposing women to sexual exploitation and serious social and health consequences. These findings demonstrate that the colonial plantation system exploited women not only economically but also through unequal gender relations and power structures embedded in the contract labor system. By centering women’s experiences, this study contributes to the historiography of women, labor, and colonialism in Indonesia.

Abstract

Marindal 1 Village in Patumbak District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, possesses a long historical trajectory characterized by social diversity and enduring cultural traditions. Although previous studies have documented aspects of local history and culture, limited attention has been devoted to examining the interrelationship between historical development, social structure, and cultural preservation within a unified analytical framework. This study investigates the historical development of Marindal 1 Village, its social structure, and the preservation of its cultural heritage. The research employs a qualitative historical approach using the historical method, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, supported by an extensive literature review to reconstruct historical continuity and explain socio-cultural dynamics through documented evidence. The findings indicate that the village developed through sustained interaction among Batak, Malay, and Javanese communities since the nineteenth century, giving rise to a social structure characterized by kinship, cooperation, and collective solidarity. These social values have enabled the continuous preservation and adaptation of local traditions despite the pressures of urbanization and globalization. This study contributes to local history scholarship by demonstrating how historical development has shaped social structure and strengthened cultural preservation, providing a comprehensive understanding of rural socio-cultural continuity in Marindal 1 Village.

Abstract

The transition from the Old Order to the New Order marked a critical turning point in Indonesia’s political history, reshaping the country’s governance structure and state ideology. This study examines the factors driving the transfer of power, the process through which the transition occurred, and its implications for Indonesia’s political development. Employing a qualitative historical approach, the research applies the historical method through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography to reconstruct and analyze the events surrounding the transition. The findings reveal that the transfer of power was precipitated by a convergence of political and economic crises, escalating ideological conflicts, and the aftermath of the 1965 September 30th Movement (G30S), all of which substantially weakened President Sukarno’s authority. The consolidation of military influence and the issuance of the 11 March Order (Supersemar) facilitated the emergence of the New Order under Suharto’s leadership. The study argues that although the transition succeeded in restoring political stability and accelerating economic development, it simultaneously institutionalized centralized political authority and curtailed democratic participation, thereby creating a long-lasting legacy that continues to influence Indonesia’s political landscape.

Abstract

This study examines Soekarno's visit to Padangsidimpuan on 12 June 1948 within the political context of Indonesia's struggle to defend its independence following the Renville Agreement. Although the visit represented an important episode during the Indonesian Revolution, its historical significance at the local level has received limited scholarly attention. This study reconstructs the chronology of the visit, analyzes its role in political mobilization, and examines the forms of local support that emerged in response to Soekarno's presence. The research employs the historical method, consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, by analyzing contemporary newspapers, photographic documentation, archival records, and interview data through systematic source corroboration. The findings indicate that the visit served not only as a symbolic political event but also as a strategic instrument for reinforcing national legitimacy, mobilizing public participation, and strengthening local support for the Republic during a critical stage of the Indonesian Revolution. Public enthusiasm, despite adverse weather conditions, and the presentation of ulos and buffaloes in the Angkola-Mandailing tradition, reflected the integration of local cultural expressions into the broader national struggle. This study contributes to local history by demonstrating how the historical significance of Soekarno's visit extended beyond ceremonial purposes, functioning as a mechanism of political mobilization that strengthened state–society relations and reinforced collective support for the Indonesian Republic.
