This paper aims to explore how kindergartens in Indonesia become a space to negotiate local and global discourses. Informed by postcolonial theories, it seeks to identify a hybrid space that goes beyond the binary between South and North. Based on fieldwork in three different kindergartens in Indonesia, this paper illuminates different forms of negotiation adopted by the kindergartens. Two most pervasive global discourses found are related with child-centeredness and neoliberalism. The kindergartens negotiate these discourses through a social aspiration, character building, and religious values discourses. The finding suggests how juxtaposed ideas continue to intersect with one another ECE.

Since 2012, Indonesia has been obsessed with the notion of melestarikan budaya lokal (preserving local culture) as part of Indonesian Cultures. In West Java, Indonesia, the cultural revitalisation program is called “Rebo Nyunda”. Rebo means Wednesday; nyunda means being Sundanese. Sunda is the dominant ethnic group in West Java and the second largest ethnic group in Indonesia. Childhood often becomes a site for implanting ideologies, including nationalist ideology through the rhetoric of anti-West. Rebo Nyunda is expected to be able to shape future generations with strong cultural roots and unshaken by negative foreign ideas. Using focus group discussions this paper investigates the extent to which teachers understand Rebo Nyunda as a mean of cultural resistance to foreign forces amid the wholesale adoption of early childhood education doctrines from the West, such as the internationalisation of early childhood education, developmentally appropriate practices, neuroscience for young children, child-centred discourse, economic investment and the commercialisation of childhood education. This paper examines the complexity of and contradictions in teachers’ perceptions of Rebo Nyunda in Bandung, a city considered a melting pot of various ethnic groups in Indonesia.

The Indonesian nation state was at the beginning an artificial creation but ultimately it appeared to be quite genuine and durable. The main aim of this article is to analyze how was it possible to create and retain an Indonesian national community. There are four main factors which have contributed to the establishment of the Indonesian nation and its national identity and today are still responsible for their maintenance: nationalism and national discourse, the modern nation-state, religion and the performance of nation in everyday practices. An investigation of these factors may shed some light in response to the question about the persistence of the national community in Indonesia.

The Chinese minority is one of the largest ethnic groups of foreign origin living in Indonesia. While almost all of its members are Indonesia-born and speak Indonesian, often along with one of the local languages, many of them up-hold traditions from their ancestors' land. Furthermore, all but a few follow one of the minority religions in a mostly Muslim country. That, together with a long and complicated history of relations of the Chinese minority with the local population, results in mutual distrust and isolation of modern indigenous Indonesians and those of Chinese origin. The article is an attempt to describe and explain briefly those relations as part of complex Asian ethnic reality. However, as Indonesian society consists of hundreds of local ethnic groups and acknowledging the differences among the Chinese communities from various parts of the Indonesian archipelago, the article concentrates on one chosen example of West Sumatra. The present ethnic relations between the local Chinese community and Minangkabau, the indigenous ethnic group predominant in the province, are shown in the context of local social history (beginning with the Dutch era) as well as in the national politics in independent Republic of Indonesia. The article tells about the religious, cultural, identity and economic aspects of the problem. It also shows how the ethnic situation affects the urban space of Padang, the capital city of the West Sumatran province. Although it is a case study of the ethnic relations of two particular groups, it highlights the broader phenomenon of which those relations are a part, showing both - what is common in the Chinese Indonesians' situation in various regions and what is specific for West Sumatran case.
