[edit] Independence declared

The liberated were drunk with victory. They could do anything and dream of everything. Courage rose like a snake in the grass. Self-confidence and nationalism welled up like froth in beer. The cowboys stood in the middle of the road with revolvers on their hips and knifes in their belts.

—Idrus, 'Surabaja'^[1]

[edit] Jawa Pesisir Lor

[edit] Population and Location

Jawa Pesisir Lor is one of the hundreds of ethnic groups found in the country of Indonesia. This group of 18,600,000 lives on the north coast of Java island, split in two groups west and east of the coastal city of Semarang in Central Java.

[edit] Lifestyle

Traditionally the Jawa Pesisir Lor have relied upon agriculture for their livelihoods. However in recent years industry has experienced significant growth. Javanese people are known for being reserved with great attention given to rules of politeness. Jawa Pesisir Lor are more straightforward. They are comfortable speaking their opinions even when different than that of their seniors. For this sub-group of Javanese people, strong feelings can be expressed with emotion and sensitive issues approached openly.

Jawa Pesisir Lor regard themselves as having a more modern mindset than the traditional Javanese. Their strong commitment to Islam is expressed in their preference for Islamic music over Javanese gamelan and Qur’an readings over the traditional Javanese shadow plays. Lack of water hinders the area’s agricultural potential. As the population grows increasing numbers of young people are leaving the traditional farming areas to seek employment in cities.

[edit] Religion

Jawa Pesisir Lor consist of both Sunni and Sufi Muslims with the greater number being Sunni. Jawa Pesisir Lor seek blessing by worshipping at the graves of deceased holy men Sunan Kalijaga and Sunan Ja’far Shodiq. As Muslims they adhere to the five pillars of the Islam religion: saying the Muslim creed, practicing ritual prayer, giving to the poor, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and taking the pilgrimage to Mecca. Jawa Pesisir Lor also include several mystic aspects in their practice of the Islam religion. These mystic practices were handed down from the Hindu and folk religions that predated the entrance of Islam.
