Maluku Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This page is about the geography and history of the island group in Indonesia— for the political entities encompassing the islands, see Maluku (Indonesian province) and North Maluku. The commencement of Indonesian transmigration of (mainly) Javanese populations to the outer islands (including Maluku) during the 1960s is thought to have aggravated independence and issues of religious / ethnic politics. Complicated by Indonesian demands, the Round Table Conference Agreements were signed in 1949 transferring Maluku to Indonesia with mechanisms for the islands to chose or opt out of the new Indonesia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Maluku_Islands   (1153 words)

More Deaths in Continued Violence in Indonesia's Maluku Province The continuing violence, mainly aimed at the transmigrants forced by the Indonesian government under Soeharto to settle in Maluku, was renewed in early October. The violence stems from a simmering anger among the province's indigenous people who have literally been shouldered aside by the Indonesian government's continued settlement of mainly Muslim people from Java and Sulawesi to the province as part of Indonesia's continuing and controversial transmigration program. As of October 8, Antara reported, the widespread violence in the eastern Indonesian province had claimed 27 lives and others injured since the beginning of October 3. www.geocities.com /TheTropics/Cove/4232/9911/INA-maluku-9910.html   (1732 words)

Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: Remaking Maluku - Social Transformation in Eastern Indonesia - Review There are few anthropological volumes dealing exclusively with the Indonesian province of Maluku; fewer still that deliberately distance themselves from the influence of the 'Field of Anthropological Study' (FAS) approach associated with Leiden structuralism and its concern with 'Eastern Indonesia'. Pannell examines in some detail the role of the Indonesian Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) programme in Amaya, on Damar island in South-East Maluku. In the final instance Remaking Maluku can be said to reflect a different set of research priorities from those of Leiden structuralism rather than being an exemplar of a 'new way forward' - not so much providing a greater coherence or holism to anthropology in Maluku, as indicating other, arguably neglected, areas of emphasis. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2472/is_3_9/ai_53972695   (1032 words)
