I think it's a fair question to ask if she also might have been a member of Subud.

Revealed: Inilah Wanita di Balik Bintang Mahaputera untuk Ibu Obama

November 17, 2010 · 9:54 pm

NOT many people know the figures behind the academic career Stanley Ann Dunham-Soetoro, mother of United States President Barack Hussein Obama.

The above studies were done in Indonesia for a dozen years, who later wrote the dissertation for my doctorate in anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) with the title "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against all Odds", Ann Dunham-Soetoro Stars Mahaputera get from the Indonesian government.

The star was given the President in the middle of a state dinner welcoming President Obama's visit last week (9/11).

According to the president, Obama's mother had shown a high dedication and sacrifice in doing scientific research in Indonesia.

"The vision and the result was a brilliant researcher who helps a lot of intellectual community and the Indonesian government today," said SBY.

Is Professor Alice Dewey, who has a role behind the work of Ann Dunham-Soetoro academic. Suratmi, thereby acquired the Java name of a headman when he lived in Indonesia for a series of research on the lives of people in rural Java in the 1950s and 1960s.

Alice is the chairman of the dissertation committee that guides the process of researching and writing the dissertation Ann Dunham. He was one of the great anthropologist owned Uhm and the United States. So much for close ties between Alice Dewey and Ann Dunham-Soetoro, so both of them are like family. Alice Dewey several times to stay at home while Ann Dunham-Soetoro still living in Indonesia. Vice versa, though both parents live in Hawaii, once on a time-Soetoro and Ann Dunham Soetoro Maya, his daughter from marriage to Lolo Soetoro, Alice Dewey settled at home in Honolulu.

Like his brother, Barack Obama also has a small close relationship with Alice Dewey.

Alice Dewey received a copy of the book when Ann Dunham-Soetoro, published in Indonesian, January 2009. Indonesian edition that contains chapter one and chapter five dissertation Ann Dunham was published a year earlier than the English version.

In the early 1950s, Alice Dewey and a doctoral student at Harvard University the other received a scholarship from MIT to do research in Java. Alice is the focus of the study of the life and social interaction in traditional markets. Other Harvard students who fall into this group is Clifford Geertz (religious and traditional values), hilderd Geertz (field of family organization), Donal fagg (field of organizational administration, Robert Jay (areas of life and the rural economy), and Edward Ryan (field of community Chinese in Java).

From the Harvard team / MIT is the best known, in particular, by the Indonesian public is Clifford Geertz. Generally, Geertz students-known as the theory that the introduction of gentry-abangan, which until now still used by many researchers at home and abroad for analyzing political life in Indonesia. Research on agricultural involution in Java is considered to have an important role behind the shift towards the Indonesian economy from agriculture to industry import substitution and export orientation. Geertz's works have a place in the hearts of nations and international institutions pengucur debt, and of course academics supporting developmentalism.

In contrast to Clifford Geertz, Alice Dewey research on interactions in traditional market economies shows that local values ​​and traditional economic patterns have a great chance to become the foundation of the national economy. However, this approach of course requires that the government have the same perspective.

Unfortunately, Alice Dewey's approach has no place. New Order regime which stands at the end of 1960 voted in favor of the development model a la Western Europe after the Second World War. Indonesian technocrats at that time believed that only by debt (and political stability), obtained as Western European countries through the Marshall Plan, Indonesia can align themselves with other industrialized countries. This theory appears to work at first glance. Indonesia in the early 1980s became one of the wonders of Asia. But nearly two decades after that, the economic bubble burst. The Indonesian economy fell into the most deadly point, which in turn spawned the worst political crisis since Indonesian independence.

Visitors who packed seminar on Ann Dunham and Community Economy held at the Mercantile Club, WTC, Jakarta. Obama's family and relatives in Indonesia also friends Ann Dunham lived in Indonesia during the seminar participated menhadiri.

Alice Dewey, who after returning from Indonesia chose to settle in Hawaii and taught at UHM, smell the danger that far in advance. But there's not much that can be done, in addition to spreading the belief that the development approach offered by scholars such as Clifford Geertz who gave birth involution and even paradoxical development.

In 1973, after six years living in Indonesia, Ann Dunham-Soetoro chose to return back to Hawaii to continue her studies in anthropology majors. This is the first time he met with Alice Dewey. Six years of experience in Indonesia, especially in the early days of political and economic transition of Indonesia, enough for Ann Dunham-Soetoro to understand the mindset of Alice Dewey.

Like the teacher, Ann Dunham-Soetoro also see the same issue. And that's what makes his return to Indonesia and tried to fill the empty space left behind and forgotten developmental approach: economic practices carried out by the people in the rural areas, which even a cursory look small but it is actually the backbone of the national economy. In the early part of his dissertation, Ann Dunham-Soetoro emphatically said that the results of research done generating approach contrasts with the developmental approach introduced Geertz.

Only 13 years later Alice Dewey will be able to fulfill it. Ann Dunham-Soetoro dissertation published as a book for the first time by the publisher Mizan and translated into Indonesian with the title "the archipelago Iron Warrior-warrior" in September 2008. The new English edition published Duke University Press in late 2009.

In March 2010, Alice Dewey visited Indonesia to attend an academic seminar on the work of Ann Dunham-Soetoro organized by the Rakyat Merdeka Online.

He is now 82 years old to fly solo from Honolulu to Jakarta to meet with Indonesian public and explain his academic work produced. Obama's way of thinking, so Alice, really connect with Ann Dunham's mind. Global capitalism has shown its failure, and slowly but surely will meet destruction. Obama, he said, trying to rescue the U.S. economy and the world in general from that peril.

Is Obama going to work?

The debate on this is what makes the author believes that Obama's visit was very short last week should be viewed from the angle of a more substantial, not merely superficial (surface phenomenon) and artificial (fetched) alone. Also the author believes is not enough to understand the mindset of Ann Dunham-Soetoro simply by giving it Mahaputera star.
