About this book

Doreen Lee tells the origin, experiences, and legacy of the radical Indonesian student movement that helped end Suharto's thirty-two year dictatorship in May of 1998, showing how student activists claimed their rich political and historical inheritance passed down by earlier generations of activist youth.

Reviews

"... the main strength of Activist Archives is that it raises important questions by not providing all the answers. In this way, it invites frequent re-reading, creating a richer understanding of the micropolitics of student activism upon each re-read."

-- Yatun Sastramidjaja Contemporary Southeast Asia

“Activist Archives can be called a definitive work that will be prized as perhaps the best ‘biography’ of a generation of Indonesian urban activism.”

-- Abidin Kusno Pacific Affairs

“Activist Archives is an important exploration of the 1998 Indonesian student movement and its ongoing influence, adding greatly to our knowledge of student movements and democratization in postcolonial settings.”

-- Rachel Rinaldo International Journal of Urban and Regional Research

"Activist Archives undoubtedly offers us a new approach to the analysis of Reformasi, student and youth politics in the recent history of Indonesia. It provides new insights, enriched via an extensive use of fieldwork and archival material."

-- John G. Taylor Asian Affairs

“Activist Archives is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the anthropological analysis of youths and political culture in modern Indonesian history.”

-- Farabi Fakih Journal of Southeast Asian Studies

“A valuable expansion. Activist Archives should be of interest to students and other scholars from a range of disciplines concerned with the ephemerality and endurance of democratic transitions.”

-- Mary E. McCoy Journal of Asian Studies
