The Journal of Philology and Historical Review (JPHR) is a fully refereed and vigorously edited journal of history and philology. JPHR accepts the original manuscript written by an individual or in a group and never published in any form. The manuscript comes from research results, article review, conceptual study, or book review. All manuscripts should explicitly address on philology or ancient manuscript, history, general theoretical and historiographical questions relevant to historians of many specialties. Philology is the study of ancient manuscript and open to a wide variety of interdisciplinary approaches, from the study of linguistic evolution to literary interpretation, from textual criticism to the investigation of texts and ethnotexts, from etymological reconstructions to the cognitive analyses of archaeological facies. Historiography means the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials in those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination. Historiography studies cover chronologically various themes, such as local history, social history, cultural history, economic history, political history, military history, intellectual history, environmental history, and other historical studies. Journal of Philology and Historical Review (JPHR) balances its broad chronological coverage with a wide geographical spread of scholarly articles featuring contributions from social, political, cultural and economic historians.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Central Sumatra and the organization’s political stance in responding to the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI) conflict in the late 1950s. It also seeks to explain the dynamics of NU’s relationship with regional political elites and the central government, as well as the impact of the PRRI conflict on the development of NU in West Sumatra. This research employs the historical method, consisting of four main stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) began to develop organizationally in Central Sumatra in the early 1950s through the efforts of several prominent figures, some of whom originated from the Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah (Perti) milieu. Although NU secured only limited electoral support in the 1955 General Election, the organization remained actively involved in regional political affairs. During the initial phase of the PRRI conflict, NU supported the Dewan Banteng; however, it subsequently aligned itself with the central government's policy when the conflict evolved into an armed rebellion against Jakarta. Following the end of the PRRI conflict, administrative restructuring and organizational reorganization contributed to the strengthening of NU at the regional level. During the Guided Democracy period, NU experienced significant growth through the expansion of its organizational network, an increase in membership, and greater participation in political institutions. These developments demonstrate the close relationship between the evolution of religious organizations and broader political transformations at both the regional and national levels.

Abstract

The history of Islam in Southeast Asia and Africa cannot be disentangled from the dynamics of migration, colonialism, and spiritual resistance to subjugation. Shaykh Yusuf al-Makassari (1626–1699 CE) a nobleman, Islamic scholar, Sufi master, and anti-colonial resistance fighter from Makassar, South Sulawesi represents one of the most consequential transnational figures in the global history of Islam. This study aims to reconstruct the historical trajectory of Shaykh Yusuf al-Makassari, from his political captivity under the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to his enduring role as a foundational figure of Islam in South Africa. Employing a library research methodology integrated with the historical research method, comprising heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study systematically analyzes primary and secondary sources pertaining to Shaykh Yusuf's life, exile, and legacy. The findings reveal that despite being forcibly exiled to Ceylon (1684) and subsequently to the Cape of Good Hope (1694), Shaykh Yusuf succeeded in establishing the first consolidated Muslim community in South Africa through the clandestine transmission of Khalwatiyya Sufi teachings, thereby earning recognition as the "Father of Islam in South Africa" — a legacy later celebrated by Nelson Mandela as the foundational inspiration of South Africa's anti-apartheid and anti-colonial struggle.

Abstract

This study examines the traditional maritime knowledge system of the Orang Laut community on Gara Island, Batam City, Riau Islands Province. It aims to analyze local knowledge related to stars, the moon, ocean currents, seasons, winds, and natural signs used for navigation and maritime activities. The research employs the oral history method to reconstruct the development of this knowledge system from 1991 to 2026, with data collected through in-depth interviews and supported by relevant literature and documents. The data were analyzed using maritime anthropology and ethnoastronomy approaches. The findings indicate that the Orang Laut community possesses an ecological knowledge system developed through long-term interaction with the marine environment and transmitted across generations. This knowledge functions not only as a traditional navigation system but also as a foundation of cultural identity and ecological adaptation. The study further reveals that modernization and coastal development have contributed to the transformation of traditional maritime practices while simultaneously threatening the continuity of indigenous maritime knowledge. These findings highlight the importance of preserving local maritime knowledge as part of the cultural heritage of coastal communities.

Abstract

This study examines the belief system conversion among the Suku Laut (Sea Nomads) community in the Riau Islands from traditional beliefs to religion. It focuses on the traditional belief systems of the Suku Laut prior to the introduction of religion, the process of religious transformation, and its impact on the community's cultural identity. Using a historical method with an oral history approach, primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with members of the Suku Laut community in Lingga, Batam, and Pongok Island, while secondary data were gathered from relevant books, scientific articles, and previous studies. The findings reveal that prior to adopting a religion, the Suku Laut community had developed a local religiosity rooted in a spiritual connection with the sea, taboos, seasonal knowledge, and beliefs in natural signs. The shift toward religion occurred gradually, influenced by changes in settlement patterns, social interactions, education, and state intervention through coastal resettlement programs. Although the community has embraced religion, several elements of their traditional beliefs persist in daily life. This study demonstrates that the conversion of the belief system among the Suku Laut did not occur as a total replacement, but rather through cultural negotiation and the reconstruction of religious identity within the maritime indigenous community of the Riau Islands.

Abstract

The early twentieth century marked a crucial period in the transformation of the roles of kiai penghulu in Banyumas, particularly within the socio-religious and socio-cultural domains. Their integration into the colonial bureaucratic structure positioned kiai penghulu in a strategic role that enabled them to perform dual functions: as religious officials and as social actors mediating between colonial administrative interests and the religious needs of Muslim communities. In this context, kiai penghulu were not merely executors of normative religious duties but were also actively engaged in local processes of social change. This article examines the roles of kiai penghulu in Banyumas amid the evolving social dynamics shaped by the implementation of the Ethical Policy and the intensification of modernization in the Netherlands Indies. The study employs the historical method, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings demonstrate that kiai penghulu in Banyumas played an active role in early twentieth-century social life through their involvement in religious organizations such as Muhammadiyah during the 1920s, participation in the establishment of grassroots financial institutions that later developed into Bank Rakyat Indonesia, and contributions to the dissemination of knowledge through writings published in Majalah Damai. This article contributes to the study of colonial Islamic socio-cultural history by highlighting local perspectives that position kiai penghulu as active agents of social change and by offering a fresh understanding of religious officials as mediators between the colonial state and Muslim society.

Abstract

This study examines the contributions of early Muslim communities—encompassing enslaved African Muslims and Middle Eastern immigrants from the late 19th to the early 20th century—to the process of shaping the United States as a pluralistic and multicultural nation. Although the presence of Muslims has been recorded since the period of slavery, mainstream American historical narratives have tended to marginalize the significant roles of the Muslim community in the nation’s social, cultural, and spiritual dynamics. Through a historical-qualitative approach and a "history from below" historiographical analysis, this research highlights how Muslims acted as active agents in confronting marginalization, preserving their religious and cultural identities, and building social structures that supported their community's sustainability. This study demonstrates that their contributions were not limited to religious aspects but also extended to economic, cultural, and civil rights struggles, particularly through African-American Islamic movements. These findings challenge the assumption that Islam is a foreign element in American history, instead asserting that it is an integral part of the nation's formation. By tracing the hidden vestiges of Muslim communities, this article aims to enrich a more inclusive and representative American historical narrative while contributing theoretically to the study of multiculturalism, national identity, and religious history in the United States.
