Abstract

Awakened by education awareness and longing for identity, the history of the political life of the Chinese elite in this country is very interesting to study. The uniqueness of the role (especially social, cultural, economic, and political) of the Chinese in Indonesia is illustrated in the long journey of the Indonesian nation. It is important to divide the historical roots of Chinese politics in Indonesia into several periods. The determination of this period is based on arguments linking the Chinese political role with the three stages of the struggle of the Indonesian people, namely the pre-nationalism stage (1900-1907), the proto-nationalism stage (1908-1926), and the actual stage of Indonesian nationalism (1927-1942). This study is aimed at examining the interest of ethnic Chinese in entering the world of practical politics, which triggers the author to examine the ideology of ethnic Chinese associations in discourse and socio-political reality in North Sumatra, and to see more clearly and validly the growth of thoughts of ethnic Chinese in North Sumatra about values of political and national development. This study seeks to reveal the power relations between ethnic Chinese associations and the Chinese ethical community in local political contestations in Sumatra. In the end, this study will be able to find the relationship between the dominance and hegemony by the elite of Chinese associations against the ethnic Chinese and the ideological motives in these power relations.
