Borders within: mobility and enclosure in the Riau Islands / Ford, Michele; Lyons, Lenore   Journal Article
Ford, Michele Journal Article

Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract The border studies literature makes a strong case against claims for unfettered transnationalism and 'borderlessness' in our 'globalising world'. However, its focus on movement across borders means that it fails to address bordering practices that occur within the nation-state as a result of transnational activity. In this paper, we extend Cunningham and Heyman's concepts 'enclosure' and 'mobility' to confront the different layers of bordering (both physical and non-physical) that have occurred in Indonesia's Riau Islands since they became part of the Indonesia-Malaysia-Singapore Growth Triangle.

We are people of the Islands: translocal belonging among the ethnic Chinese of the Riau Islands / Setijadi, Charlotte   Journal Article
Setijadi, Charlotte Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Riau Islands Chinese are an anomaly in the study of Chinese Indonesians. For one, while many of their ethnic Chinese counterparts in other parts of Indonesia can no longer speak Chinese due to the New Order regime’s assimilation policy, Chinese languages are alive and well in the Riau Islands. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2017–2018, this paper seeks to understand the Riau Islands Chinese’s cultural resilience and sense of belonging as a borderland ethnic minority. I argue that long-standing inter-Island and cross-border mobilities and cultural flows with Singapore have been central to the maintenance of Riau Islands Chinese identity. Utilising translocality as a theoretical framework to understand the processes of identity formation and place-making that transcend national borders, I contend that the case study of the Riau Islands Chinese challenges the conventional state-centric modes of analyses prevalent in the study of ethnic Chinese communities in Southeast Asia.
