Synopsis

Jakarta Pulse explores Indonesia's capital as a microcosm of the nation's identity, transformations, and struggles. It examines Jakarta's political power, historical evolution, and socio-economic development. This book uncovers how the city embodies both the aspirations and challenges of a rapidly developing nation. For example, Jakarta's multicultural heritage reflects Indonesia's diversity, but also its societal tensions. The book analyzes the city’s growth, addressing issues like infrastructure and socio-economic inequality, to reveal the city's complex story.

 
The book argues that understanding Jakarta's trajectory is crucial for comprehending Indonesia's nation-building and democratization efforts. It progresses through thematic explorations, beginning with Jakarta's historical context as a colonial trading post and then delving into its urban fabric, political dynamics, and future prospects. By drawing upon diverse sources, including archival documents and firsthand accounts, Jakarta Pulse offers a nuanced perspective on Jakarta's past, present, and future, making it valuable for anyone interested in Southeast Asian studies and urban development.

    The Homefront Heroes - Everyday...

    The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. The efforts of everyday people—often invisible and uncelebrated—were foundational to both the immediate success of the war and the longer-term impact on society. This chapter delves into the importance of the homefront during WWII, exploring the diverse contributions of civilians, and highlighting how they collectively displayed a resilience that was vital for the war’s outcome. 
      
    World War II was not just fought on foreign battlefields—it was waged in factories, schools, hospitals, and even neighborhoods. The efforts of civilians extended well beyond the provision of material goods. They also contributed by keeping national spirits high through solidarity and patriotism, showing an unyielding dedication to the cause despite the challenges at home. The mobilization of the homefront became a key factor in the Allied victory, and it transformed daily life in ways that would endure long after the war ended. 
      
    Women, for instance, took on roles that had traditionally been reserved for men, stepping into factories, shipyards, and offices, proving their capacity to contribute to industries critical to the war effort. At the same time, families managed with rationing and shortages while simultaneously participating in drives for scrap metal, rubber, and other materials that could be recycled for wartime use. Even children contributed in their own ways, collecting tin cans and engaging in other activities designed to support the war effort.

    A STRIKING MEMOIR OF GENDERFLUIDITY, CLASS, AND THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST 
     
    Newly arrived in the Sonoran Desert, eleven-year-old Zoë enters a world of giant beetles, thundering javelinas, and gnarled palo verde trees. In Cactus Country RV Park, Zoë has been given a fresh start and a new, shorter haircut. Although Zoë doesn’t have the words to express it, he experiences life as a trans boy—and here, others begin to see him as a boy, too. Zoë spends hot days chasing shade and freight trains with an ever-rotating pack of sunburned desert kids, and nights fending off his own questions about the body underneath his baggy clothes. 
     
    As Zoë enters adolescence, he must reckon with the sexism, racism, substance abuse, and violence endemic to the working-class men he’s grown close to, whose hard masculinity seems as embedded in the desert landscape as the cacti sprouting from parched earth. In response, Zoë adopts an androgynous style and new pronouns, but still cannot escape what it means to live in a gendered body, particularly when a fraught first love destabilizes their sense of self. But beauty flowers in this desert, too. Zoë persists in searching for answers, dreaming of a day they might leave the park behind to embrace whatever awaits beyond. 
     
    Equal parts harsh and tender, Cactus Country is a precisely rendered journey of self-determination that will resonate with anyone who’s ever had to fight to be themself. 
     
    “Cactus Country shimmers with the complexity of becoming. Zoë Bossiere writes their way into a truer story of selfhood, resisting the simpler narratives the world demanded. The result is lush, beautiful, and deeply liberating.”—Alex Marzano Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body
