Abstract

Trams played an important role in the development of Semarang City from 1881 to 1940. As a mode of transportation in the city, trams are not only a means of transporting passengers and goods, but also a major driver of economic growth and urban spatial development. This research uses historical methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results show that the Semarang-Juana steam tram, operated by Samarang-Joana Stoomtram Maatschappij (SJS), is the backbone of transportation to connect produce production areas with ports, as well as encourage urbanization and economic growth. Trams also form new economic corridors and expand social interaction between community groups. However, trams eventually disappeared due to the development of transportation technology and changes in urban spatial planning.

Abstract

This study examines the formation of the heroic identity of Santung in the Kuala Jambi community using historical research and a collective memory approach. Collective Memory is a collection of memories or past awareness of a group of people that are reinterpreted in the present and become a reflection of life together. Santung is a fighter figure who fought to defend Indonesian independence in Kuala Jambi. Santung was killed when the Dutch attacked Santung's house on January 4, 1949. To appreciate Santung's struggle, the community called Santung a hero from Kuala Jambi, but over time, the story of Santung's heroism gradually faded. This reseach use history method with memry studies approach. The process of remembering carried out by so many people on a certain time scale, and then passed down to the next generation, will form a collective memory structure. Based on these events, the author is interested in revealing the process of forming the heroic identity of Santung in Kuala Jambi

Abstract

The transformation of Indonesian historiography from the centralized and hegemonic pattern of the New Order to a more plural form in the post-Reformasi era, and its implications for writing the history of Islamic civilization. During the New Order, the state monopolized the production of historical knowledge through curricula, textbooks, films, the Indonesian National History project, and strict control over archives and sensitive themes such as the 1965–66 massacres, state violence, and ethnic conflicts. The 1998 Reformasi disrupted this singular authority and opened space for non-state actors independent scholars, local communities, pesantren, victims’ organizations, women’s activists, and investigative journalists to articulate alternative narratives highlighting the experiences of marginalized groups. This pluralization encouraged the development of local history, women’s history, oral history, and multidimensional as well as phenomenological approaches that integrate written archives, oral testimonies, and cultural sources. In the study of the history of Islam in Indonesia, the focus is no longer limited to the state and canonical ulama, but also includes local ulama networks, Sufi orders, pesantren, and the everyday lives of Muslim communities. The article argues that post-Reformasi openness not only enriches historical themes and actors but also demands methodological and ethical renewal, so that pluralization does not collapse into relativism but instead leads toward a more democratic, reflective, and inclusive historiography.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Indonesian War of Independence is commonly examined through major events in urban political and military centers, resulting in the marginalization of peripheral regions within national historiography. This article aims to analyze the role of Cileungsi, a peripheral area in West Java, during the Indonesian War of Independence between 1945 and 1950, with particular attention to its geographical position, forms of local resistance, and social consequences of the conflict. This study employs the historical method, consisting of heuristic research, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, combined with a historical-sociological approach. The sources include colonial and post-independence archives, military and administrative reports, contemporary newspapers, and local oral traditions. The findings demonstrate that Cileungsi played a strategic role as a connective corridor between Batavia, Buitenzorg, and eastern West Java, functioning as a base for guerrilla warfare, logistical support, and popular resistance. Local actors such as community leaders, religious figures, and youth militias actively participated in resistance efforts, often operating outside formal military structures. Furthermore, the revolutionary period profoundly transformed the social, economic, and cultural life of the local population. This study concludes that Cileungsi was not a passive peripheral space but an integral component of the Indonesian revolutionary struggle, highlighting the importance of local history in constructing a more inclusive and balanced national historiography.

Abstract

Lampung black pepper has been a strategic commodity linking Sumatra's hinterland to global trade networks from the Srivijaya era to the Japanese occupation. This study aims to trace the political economy dynamics of pepper trade in Lampung and to uncover forms of local resistance emerging in response to monopolistic and colonial exploitation systems. A descriptive qualitative method with a historical case study approach was employed, utilizing socio-economic history and colonial resistance theory. Data were collected through literature review of primary sources such as the Bojong Charter (1691), Sukau Charter (1695), VOC reports, Dutch colonial archives, and relevant secondary sources. The findings reveal that control over Lampung black pepper by the Banten Sultanate, VOC, and Dutch East Indies systematically shaped an unequal social structure through policies of verplichte leverantie and contingentenstelsel. This economic pressure triggered a layered spectrum of resistance, ranging from armed rebellions led by Radin Inten I-II and Radin Imba Kesuma, spiritual movements of Syattariyah and Naqsyabandiyah orders, to everyday resistance such as smuggling and sabotage. The study concludes that pepper not only served as an instrument of external domination but also acted as a catalyst for the formation of socio-political consciousness and resistance identity among Lampung communities.

Abstract

This study examines the commodity shift in Langkat's plantation sector during the colonial era, using the Holland Langkat Tabak Maatschappij (HLTM) as a case study from 1927 to 1935. The Deli tobacco plantation system was structurally fragile due to its dependence on environmental conditions and volatile international markets. This study aims to identify the driving factors behind HLTM's transition from tobacco to rubber cultivation. Using a historical approach, data were drawn from the company's annual reports and colonial archival sources analyzed longitudinally. The findings reveal that HLTM's commodity shift resulted from overlapping crises rather than a simple response to falling tobacco prices. These included environmental pressures such as plant disease, Angin Bahorok, and soil degradation, compounded by the economic devastation of the 1929 Great Depression, which severely restricted access to capital. The transition to rubber was therefore a last-resort survival measure rather than a strategic decision. This study argues that colonial plantation systems were not inherently resilient; on the contrary, they were deeply vulnerable to the combined pressure of ecological stress and global economic disruption.

Abstract

This research examines the history of the Nederlandsch-Indische Gas-Maatschappij (NIGM) in Medan between 1919 and 1950. The focus of this study is to explore various important aspects of NIGM and its development in Medan during that period. NIGM was a private institution that played a significant role in the commercialization of gas and electricity in the Dutch East Indies. The main focus of this research is to trace the development of NIGM’s activities in the municipality Gemeente of Medan, including the process of concession applications, the expansion of company units, and the evolution of its marketing strategies. The primary objective of the study is to follow the company’s trajectory in Medan and its surrounding areas, from the initial concession period to 1950, when the company was renamed Gas-Overzeese Maatschappij (OGEM). This study employs the historical method with a chronological approach, drawing on primary sources such as company archives, NIGM’s annual reports, and colonial government regulations. The findings show that NIGM was a major company that commercialized gas and electricity for both the government and the public in Medan. Initially, NIGM succeeded as a lighting provider in Batavia at the end of the 19th century. It later expanded its concessions to nearby cities and eventually to Medan and its surroundings. However, the company’s expansion was not without challenges, including conflicts of interest with local authorities as well as technical and economic difficulties. The study concludes that NIGM’s history forms an essential part of the long development of electrification and modernization in the Dutch East Indies, particularly in Medan—a legacy that persists to this day. The company serves as a representation of how colonial private enterprises contributed to shaping the urban landscape and daily life during the late colonial era.

Abstract

This study examines the development of Boekhandel Van Haren Noman in Buiten Nieuwpoortstraat, Batavia, which underwent institutional transformation into a Vennotschap onder Firma and later a Naamlooze Vennootschap between 1848 and 1921, using a business sociology perspective. The study aims to explain the relationship between the growing demand for printing services and the establishment of the bookstore, as well as to analyze the changes in business organization as a strategy for capital accumulation and corporate expansion. The research employs the historical method, which includes heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that the increasing public demand for information and reading materials encouraged Willem Van Haren Noman to establish Boekhandel Van Haren Noman in 1848. Initially, the bookstore relied on book supplies imported form the Netherlands. However, rising transportation costs and growing for books and newspapers led the company to produce its own publications. In 1853, the business was reorganized as Van Haren Noman & Kolff. A partnership established to strengthen capital resources and distribute business responsibilities. As economic conditions and printing technology advanced, the partnership structure became less capable of supporting the company’s expansion. Partnerships faced limitations in raising capital and did not separate corporate assets from the personal wealth of partners. In contrast, the limited liability company structure enabled capital acquisition through share ownership, provided a clearer organizational framework, and separated corporate liabilities from shareholder’s personal assets. Consequently, in 1921 G. Kolff & Co was transformed into a Naamlooze Vennootschap (NV) to strengthen its institutional foundation, increase capital capacity, and support the continued growth of its printing business.

Abstract

Parmalim is a religious tradition of the Toba Batak people, which continues to thrive in Samosir Regency. This study analyses Parmalim adherents in Samosir Regency during the period 1965–2017 and examines the impact of state policies on the social life and civil rights of this community. The methods employed are historical in nature, comprising heuristics (archival research), oral interviews and a literature review, followed by source criticism, interpretation and the construction of historiography. The research findings indicate that Parmalim adherents have faced administrative obstacles since the implementation of Presidential Decree No. 1 of 1965 and Law No. 23 of 2006, resulting in difficulties in processing civil registration documents (ID cards, family cards, marriage certificates, and birth certificates). Furthermore, the Parmalim community also faces social stigma that views their religious practices as deviant. The struggle of followers of indigenous beliefs reached a crucial juncture with Constitutional Court Ruling No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016, which was delivered in 2017. This ruling opened the way for followers of indigenous beliefs to include their religious identity in civil registration documents
