“…Teeuw's views on early Indonesian literature influenced many other writers on the subject (see, for example, Johns, 1959;Sutherland, 1968;Thomas et al, 1985;Fitzpatrick, 2000, and many others both in and outside of Indonesia) but do not sufficiently account for the depth of these early novels. While it is possible to say that they center on a conflict of generations, represented by the positioning of adat against modernity, it is important to recognize that the writers of this generation did not present a traditional way of life as a panacea for the ills of (then) modern life; they tended, in fact, to be quite critical of the social and familial restrictions placed on individuals by traditional mores.…”

The concept of nationalism has frequently been used to classify and analyze a range of cultural expressions, including literature. For the newer nations of the world, it has been discussed in the context of the post-colonial experience as one of the themes commonly discernable in the modern literature of the nation in question. Indonesia falls into this category; nationalism has been viewed by scholars as an important element in some of its modern literature. This paper considers the way nationalism has been identified and interpreted in modern Indonesian literature and draws parallels from the experience of the United States which is also discussed. It concludes that Indonesian literature displays a similar type of literary nationalism and that this is a more accurate classification than the distinction of certain nationalist works or authors.
