About this ebook:
CITRA tentang kemalasan bangsa-bangsa pribumi yang ditiup-tiupkan oleh penjajah tidaklah proporsional, bahkan ternyata berakar ideologis. Ia dimaksudkan untuk melegitimasi praktek-praktek penindasan dan ketidakadilan dalam memobilisasi tenaga kerja di koloninya; menyebarkan dan mencari alasan penaklukkan dan penguasaan Eropa atas wilayah koloninya; serta membelokkan unsur-unsur kenyataan sosial untuk menjamin bangunan ideologi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka.Para penulis kolonial mendasarkan tudahan ideologisnya atas faktor iklim dan lingkungan tropis yang dikatakannya mendukung kemalasan bangsa pribumi, dimana dalam iklim tropis yang basah, panas, mudah terjangkit malaria serta kemewahan para pemimpinya yang menyengsarakan rakyat, mengakibatkan mereka tinggal diam, tanpa cita-cita.S.H. Alatas membantah semua anggapan itu. Ia menunjukkan bukti bahwa masyarakat pribumi – yang dalam buku ini dimaksudkan bangsa-bangsa Indonesia, malaysia dan Filipina – adalah pekerja keras, sebab kalau tidak, mereka tidak akan dapat hidup sebagai manusia. Mereka rajin di bidangnya, namun kebanyakan tidak bersedia menjadi alat produksi kapitalis untuk menghindari kerja sebagai budak. This book attempts to analyse the origins and functions of the "myth of the lazy native" from the 16th to the 20th century in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. The methodological approach is by way of the sociology of knowledge. The function of myth as a significant element in colonial ideology is illustrated by recourse to historical and sociological examples. Two concepts which have been consistently used here need clarification: they are ideology and colonial capitalism.

A highly sophisticated read. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.
