The National Revolution: A View from the Subaltern

  • Russell Hall (Room 305), Columbia University Teachers' College 525 West 120th Street New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

Organizer: Deconstructing Indonesia

Type/Location: Hybrid / New York, NY

Description:

Join Deconstructing Indonesia for their next class on the Indonesian National Revolution.

Over the past several weeks we’ve worked towards the idea of Indonesia with a colorful cast of characters: our Kartinis, Ki Hajars, and Sukarnos, luminaries of that class that “dreamt and prayed in Dutch.” But what of the vast majority of Indonesians that didn’t? Who spoke in the language of jimats and Imam Mahdis rather than treatises and political theories? This week we begin to tell their side of the story, and of how they mobilized for that decisive act of political creation: the National Revolution itself.

Join us at Russell Hall (Room 305), Columbia University Teachers' College, NY or virtually via Zoom. The Zoom link and guest access to campus can be found on https://deconstructindo.com.
