title = "Departing from Java to Lampung: Locating Javanese Diasporic Practices in Indonesia{\textquoteright}s Transmigration Resettlement Programme",
abstract = "This chapter traces the origins, practices and socio-cultural dynamics of Indonesia{\textquoteright}s internal {\textquoteleft}Javanese{\textquoteright} diaspora, focusing on resettlement from Java to the southern Sumatran province of Lampung. It draws on historical and popular textual sources, together with more contemporary ethnographic research undertaken in a transmigration settlement founded in the early 1980s. In excavating the cultural politics of this particular aspect of the Javanese diaspora, the chapter focuses on the interplay between a changing political culture and everyday practices of identity, as the latter are expressed through discourses and practices around land use and livelihood.
