Abstrak:
This historical ethnographic research focuses on Indonesian plantations in the post-colonial era. The plantations were established in the colonial time for the benefit of European owners. Apparently the emergence of the post-colonialstate should not be interpreted as signalling the demise of colonial’s mode of production. Both the post-colonial regime and its colonial predecessor were confronted with similar burdens: securing income for the state budget andproviding jobs for its citizens. Plantations possessed a great potential to serve these functions. Yet, the extent to which these functions are still met in post-colonial Indonesia remains unclear. Can companies that flourished under direct and indirect protection of the colonial state, survive in the post-colonial era simply by-as Alec Gordon said-reducing themselves into “ordinary capitalist estates”? If this was the case, is this post-colonial “ordinary capitalist estate” capable in bringing the plantation and its community into a better position? Does the post-colonial plantation enable the community to deal with its underpinning power, namely world capitalism (source:http://www.iias. nl/index. php?q=node/ 260)
