Show moreThis biography of Baginda Dahlan Abdoellah opens access to a life story that was almost forgotten, superseded as it was by later and more lasting developments. Dahlan Abdoellah, from West Sumatra, went to study at a Sekolah Guru in the Netherlands in 1913, together with Tan Malaka. He was involved in radical actions as a board member of the Perhimpunan Hindia in 1918, the first time Indonesian independence was publicly articulated. After assisting Prof. Van Ronkel in teaching Malay at Universiteit Leiden, he remained a counsellor of the Perhimpunan Indonesia, when it, during the twenties, under the leadership of Mohammad Hatta, turned to a radical course, opposing the Dutch colonial rulers. When back in Indonesia in 1924 Dahlan Abdullah remained a fierce proponent of Indonesian independence, until he, as the Ambassador of the United Republic of Indonesia (RIS), died in 1950. He was active in Parindra and member of the Jakarta local council, even te become a mayor. Suryadi has done a wonderful job, first to collect all kinds of unknown sources on Dahlan Abdoellah, and then organizing his biography to establish Dahlan Abdoellah as a true perintis and pahlawan kemerdekaan Indonesia. Specific mention must be made of the translation in Indonesian of the journal he published in a Dutch newspaper (De Telegraaf) on his ziarah ke Mekah – a rare and valuable source. Show less

Show moreThis book describes the end result of a research in Laut_m between 2010 and 2014, as part of a research project on Adult Literacy Education in Timor-Leste. This book focuses on the Fataluku language that is spoken in Laut_m District, specifically in the sub districts of Lospalos and Tutuala. Fataluku is a non-Austronesian language that can be considered endangered, because most speakers of younger generations prefer Tetum of Fataluku. By means of a study on the national language policy, Laut_m__s linguistic landscape, Fataluku language attitudes and uses, and through a case study on adult literacy classes, this book discusses the change of an endangered unwritten language into a language that is written. This book shows that the planned education language policy does not yet apply correctly in Laut_m. Although the national language policy anticipates Portuguese and Tetum to become the languages of teaching, it turns out that Fataluku is till being used with that particular function in education.
