Sejarah Perkembangan Pers Minangkabau (1859 - 1945)

2018•Koleksi Perpustakaan

Peran penting pers dalam membentuk sejarah Minangkabau tak terbantahkan. Lahir dari tanggapan kritis terhadap perubahan zamannya, pers Minangkabau menampilkan mozaik situasi sosial, politik, ekonomi, dan budaya yang dihidupi oleh orang-orang pada zamannya. Kendati pers Minangkabau tergolong salah satu yang tertua di Indonesia, ternyata belum banyak tulisan yang secara mendalam mengangkat sejarah pers Minangkabau khususnya pada periode 1859–1950. Dalam konteks itulah buku ini mengambil perannya. Secara garis besar buku ini akan menunjukkan (1) latar belakang sejarah Minangkabau, adat-istiadat, dan budayanya; (2) sejarah pergerakan reformasi Islam di Minangkabau, yang bermula pada abad ke-8, ketika Islam diperkenalkan di Minangkabau oleh para pedagang dari Arab dan Gujarat; (3) sejarah pers Minangkabau yang diawali dengan pemakaian bahasa dan abjad Arab-Melayu, sampai masa pemakaian bahasa Melayu sepenuhnya oleh media; dan (4) perkembangan pers Islami hingga organisasi dan lembaga pendidikan yang menjadi lokasi awal produksi sebelum akhirnya benar-benar berbentuk penerbitan. Ditulis dengan metode historiografi, buku ini dengan lugas menekankan bahwa pers Minangkabau berkontribusi penting dalam pembentukan jiwa nasionalis hingga akhirnya turut memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia. *** "Sudah lama kita kehilangan gambaran tentang dinamika lokal. Sistem media, termasuk penyiaran kita, terkonsentrasi di Jawa khususnya Jakarta. Ratusan kelompok etnis dan bahasa lokal tak lagi tergambar di media. Keanekaragaman terasa hilang. Buku ini rasanya menggugah kembali keinginan kita untuk memahami Indonesia secara utuh." —Amir Effendi Siregar; Dosen Komunikasi UII, Pemimpin Umum Majalah Warta Ekonomi, Ketua Pemantau Regulasi dan Regulator Media (PR2MEDIA) "Sejak awal, perkembangan pers, sastra, pemikiran tertulis, dan segala bentuk pertarungan gagasan nasional melalui media komunikasi berbahasa Indonesia banyak dipengaruhi oleh tokoh-tokoh yang berasal dari Minangkabau, paling tidak dibesarkan atau menuntut ilmu di daerah itu. Sekelumit nama di antaranya: Adinegoro, St. Takdir Alisyahbana, Marah Rusli, Rosihan Anwar, Usmar Ismail, Asrul Sani, Mochtar Lubis, P.K. Ojong, dll. Khusus dalam pers Islam nasional, misalnya, M. Natsir, HAMKA, Abu Hanifah, Mahmud Yunus... Mudah-mudahan segera menyusul buku-buku sejarah perkembangan pers dari daerah-daerah lain." —Prof. M. Alwi Dahlan, Ph.D; Guru Besar Emeritus Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Indonesia

Konsepku Membangun Bangso Batak

2018•Koleksi Perpustakaan

Patut dicatat memang, sejak sekitar tahun 1980-an khususnya HKBP, prestasinya dalam penginjilan tidak lagi bersinar. Mereka seakan melemah dalam penginjilannya, karena berbagai alasan, antara lain: a. Kepemimpinan yang rapuh. b. Kebersamaan yang tidak utuh. c. Fokus pelayanan tidak merata dan gamang. d. Daya kreasi dalam metode serta sistem pelayanan yang monoton ketinggalan dibandingkan dengan sistem yang dipergunakan denominasi lainnya. e. Tantangan masa dan zaman dalam globalisasi yang tidak dijawab secara tepat dan benar. f. Layanan para pendeta dan pimpinan gereja ada yang kurang berkenan bagi warga sendiri. g. Warga mempunyai pilihan secara bebas tentang gereja dan kebaktian di mana mereka ikut berbaur dan menyatu. Momentum peringatan 150 tahun HKBP tahun 2011, kiranya menjadi salah satu momen khusus bagi HKBP secara menyeluruh, pengurus dan warganya, untuk kembali merenung serta mengkaji berbagai hal yang dinikmati masa lalu dan dipergumulkan selama ini. (Ev. John B.Pasaribu Ph.D) . Pelayanan sosial Elim HKBP sifatnya adalah humanis universal. Artinya membantu manusia untuk tetap hidup sebagai manusia yang bermartabat. Sebagai manusia yang diciptakan Tuhan untuk turut hidup meramaikan dunia ini. Sebagai lembaga yang didirikan oleh satu gereja berbasis etnis Batak, tentunya landasan kulturalnya sangat kuat, yakni budaya Batak. Di dalam kebudayaan Batak pada umumnya ada filosofi yang kuat untuk saling membantu sesama mereka. Salah satu filosofi itu ialah saling membantu, saling gotong royong. Ungkapan yang kuat milik orang Batak, terutama Toba ialah si sada anak, si sada boru. Si sada lungun si sada las ni roha. Artinya kepemilikan kolektif.

Cotton, Climate, and Camels in Early Islamic Iran

2018•Koleksi Perpustakaan

A boom in the production and export of cotton made Iran the richest region of the Islamic caliphate in the ninth and tenth centuries. Yet in the eleventh century, Iran's impressive agricultural economy entered a steep decline, bringing the country's primacy to an end. Richard W. Bulliet advances several provocative theses to explain these hitherto unrecognized historical events. According to Bulliet, the boom in cotton production directly paralleled the spread of Islam, and Iran's agricultural decline stemmed from a significant cooling of the climate that lasted for over a century. The latter phenomenon also prompted Turkish nomadic tribes to enter Iran for the first time, establishing a political dominance that would last for centuries. Substantiating his argument with innovative quantitative research and recent scientific discoveries, Bulliet first establishes the relationship between Iran's cotton industry and Islam and then outlines the evidence for what he terms the "Big Chill." Turning to the story of the Turks, he focuses on the lucrative but temperature-sensitive industry of cross-breeding one-humped and two-humped camels. He concludes that this unusual concatenation of events had a profound and long-lasting impact not just on the history of Iran but on the development of world affairs in general.

American Raiders

2018•Koleksi Perpustakaan

World War II Cold War . At the close of World War II, Allied forces faced frightening new German secret weapons--buzz bombs, V-2s, and the first jet fighters. When Hitler's war machine began to collapse, the race was on to snatch these secrets before the Soviet Red Army found them. The last battle of World War II, then, was not for military victory but for the technology of the Third Reich. In American Raiders: The Race to Capture the Luftwaffe's Secrets Wolfgang Samuel assembles from official Air Force records and survivors' interviews the largely untold stories of the disarmament of the once mighty Luftwaffe and of Operation Lusty--the hunt for Nazi technologies. In April 1945 American armies were on the brink of winning their greatest military victory, yet America's technological backwardness was shocking when measured against that of the retreating enemy. Senior officers, including the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces Henry Harley Hap Arnold, knew all too well the seemingly overwhelming victory was less than it appeared. There was just too much luck involved in its outcome. Two intrepid American Army Air Forces colonels set out to regain America's technological edge. One, Harold E. Watson, went after the German jets; the other, Donald L. Putt, went after the Nazis' intellectual capital--their world-class scientists. With the help of German and American pilots, Watson brought the jets to America; Putt persevered as well and succeeded in bringing the German scientists to the Army Air Forces' aircraft test and evaluation center at Wright Field. A young P-38 fighter pilot, Lloyd Wenzel, a Texan of German descent, then turned these enemy aliens into productive American citizens--men who built the rockets that took America to the moon, conquered the sound barrier, and laid the foundation for America's civil and military aviation of the future. American Raiders: The Race to Capture the Luftwaffe's Secrets details the contest won, a triumph that shaped America's victories in the Cold War. Wolfgang W. E. Samuel, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, is the author of German Boy: A Refugee's Story, I Always Wanted to Fly: America's Cold War Airmen, and The War of Our Childhood: Memories of World War II, all published by University Press of Mississippi. He lives in Fairfax Station, Virginia."
