"Dinamika kebudayaan bangsa Indonesia paskakolonial dapat dikatakan berjalan lamban. Masalah masalah yang diwarisi setelah proklamasi kemerdekaan tidak tertuntaskan sepenuhnya, seperti keterbelakangan dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan ekonomi. Akar persoalannya terletak pada proses akulturasi yang tidak tuntas. Ini berbeda dengan masamasa kekuasaan Hindu dan Islam, di mana masyarakat Nusantara mampu melakukan akulturasi kebudayaan secara cepat. Kehadiran Hindu dan Islam mampu mengubah wajah kebudayaan Nusantara dan menggesernya dari era pra sejarah ke masa sejarah. Berkat akulturasi maka terjadilah lompatan tinggi kebudayaan. Dengan melihat perjalanan sejarah ini kita dapat menentukan strategi budaya yang tepat dalam rangka membangun masa depan bangsa. Dibutuhkan sikap mental yang terbuka, mau menerima kebudayaan Barat tertentu yang tidak menghapus identitas Nusantara. Proses untuk itu disebut dengan akulturasi kebudayaan. Akulturasi kebudayaan terbukti ampuh meningkatkan kualitas kebudayaan Nusantara, mampu membangkitkan kedaulatan bangsa, dan mampu membuktikan adanya transformasi kebudayaan dari yang sederhana menjadi lebih kompleks. Hal itu terbukti ketika masyarakat Nusantara dengan lapang dada menerima kebudayaan Hindu dan Islam."

"This article presents the postcolonial analysis of the travel account and guidebook of Marius Buys (1837-1906), a Dutch clergyman. He not only devoted himself as a priest but also travelled in several parts of the Dutch East Indies, such as Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi in the years 1878-1885. After returning to the Netherlands due to illness in 1885, he returned to the Indies in 1886 and was assigned to Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java. In May 1887 he posted in Bandung West Java (the Preanger regencies), where he remained until his return to the Netherlands in 1890. As a result of his serving in the Preanger regencies (1878-1890), Marius Buys published Batavia, Buitenzorg en de Preanger. Gids voor Bezoekers en Toeristen (1891), the travel guidebook for travellers and tourists. His experiences in Preanger were also recorded in his travel account In het hart der Preanger (1900). The clergyman’s perspective as a tourist and traveller for the indigenous peoples and colony in his travel text and guide book are analysed by using the concepts of Esme Cleall (2012) about European missionaries thinking in British empire in Asia and Africa in the nineteenth century."

"The importance of Antonio Gramsci’s work for postcolonial studies can hardly be exaggerated, and in this volume, contributors situate Gramsci's work in the vast and complex oeuvre of postcolonial studies. Specifically, this book endeavors to reassess the impact on postcolonial studies of the central role assigned by Gramsci to culture and literature in the formation of a truly revolutionary idea of the national—a notion that has profoundly shaped the thinking of both Frantz Fanon and Edward Said. Gramsci, as Iain Chambers has argued, has been instrumental in helping scholars rethink their understanding of historical, political, and cultural struggle by substituting the relationship between tradition and modernity with that of subaltern versus hegemonic parts of the world. Combining theoretical reflections and re-interpretations of Gramsci, the scholars in this collection present comparative geo-cultural perspectives on the meaning of the subaltern, passive revolution, hegemony, and the concept of national-popular culture in order to chart out a political map of the postcolonial through the central focus on Gramsci."
