Ayala Museum opened to the public in 1974 with the goal of presenting the story of the Philippine nation under one roof, told in a selection of 60 handcrafted vignettes that made history come alive for generations of museum visitors. Today, the story is retold through the voices of 29 scholars from various fields of expertise in order to evoke to complexity of the stories of our archipelagic nation.
Cold War Asia
Conventional narratives of the Cold War revolve around high-level diplomats and state leaders in Washington, Beijing, and Moscow, but this anthology instead reveals how ordinary people across Asia experienced the era. Heavily rooted in oral history, this study takes readers to the villages of rural Java; the jungles of northern Thailand; the indigenous tribal communities of Kerala, India; and many other places in this vast region. Masuda Hajimu organizes each chapter around the theme of “many Cold Wars,” or, more precisely, the many local and social wars that were imagined as part of the global Cold War. These histories raise fundamental questions about standard Cold War narratives, encouraging readers to rethink why the Cold War still matters. Contributors are Mary Grace Concepcion, Simon Creak, Cui Feng, David C. Engerman, Prasit Leepreecha, Luong Thi Hong, Muhammad Kunhi Mahin Udma, Masuda Hajimu, Alan McPherson, Imam Muhtarom, Sim Chi Yin, Kisho Tsuchiva, Odd Arne Westad, Matthew Woolgar, Kinuko Maehara Yamazato, Bin Yang, and Taomo Zhou.
PENGEMBARAAN HAMKA DI MALAYSIA
"Negara yang dua, namun bangsa adalah satu. Di sini bernama bangsa Indonesia. Di sana bernama bangsa Melayu. Adat sama, istiadat sama. Pakaian sama, makanan pun sama. Bahasa yang dipakai pun satu." Keakraban Buya Hamka dengan Malaysia sangat jelas terlihat. Beliau seolah ingin memeluk ikatan kedua-dua bangsa serumpun ini dengan erat dan mesra. Begitu juga kedekatan budaya yang tumbuh dalam kehidupan beliau turut merekatkan jalinan sebagai dua saudara yang saling mengisi satu sama lain. Banyak sekali tulisan Buya Hamka berkenaan Malaysia yang jelas menunjukkan minat beliau terhadap pemikiran-pemikiran dan pengamatan terhadap rumah keduanya itu. Pengembaraan HAMKA di Malaysia merakamkan perjalanan, ceramah serta pengalaman peribadi Buya Hamka di Singapura, Sabah, Sarawak, Pulau Pinang dan Kuala Lumpur yang diambil daripada majalah Panji Masyarakat dalam rentang tahun 1960 hingga 1981. Malah terdapat juga satu laporan perjalanan Buya Hamka pada tahun 1955, dimuat dalam majalah Penuntun.
