Mapping the Acehnese Past
Aceh has become best known in our times for its twin disasters--the worst earthquake and tsunami of modern times in December 2004, and a long-running separatist conflict that rent Indonesia for most of its independent history. Although this book emerged from the process of recovery from those traumas, it turns the spotlight on a more positive and neglected claim Aceh has on our attention, as the Southeast Asian maritime state that most successfully and creatively maintained its independent place in the world until 1874. Like Burma, Siam and Vietnam, all better protected by geography, Aceh has its own story to tell of a unique culture struggling for survival through the European colonial era.

Gender, Islam, Nationalism and the State in Aceh
This book sets out to open up the space for interpretation of history and politics in Aceh which is now in a state of armed rebellion against the Indonesian government. It lays out a groundwork for analysing how female agency is constituted in Aceh, in a complex interplay of indigenous matrifocality, Islamic belief and practices, state terror, and political violence. Analysts of the current conflict in Aceh have tended to focus on present events. Siapno provides a historical analysis of power, co-optation, and resistance in Aceh and links it to broader comparative studies of gender, Islam, and the state in Muslim communities throughout the world.

Post-Disaster Reconstruction
On Sunday 26 December 2004, a tsunami of up to 30 metres high hit the northern tip of Sumatera in Indonesia, causing immediate destruction and the deaths of at least 130,000 in Indonesia alone. The scale of the devastation and ensuing human suffering prompted the biggest response endeavour to any natural disaster in history.
Post-Disaster Reconstruction will be the first major book that analyses the different perspectives and experiences of the enormous post-tsunami reconstruction effort. It looks specifically at the reconstruction efforts in Aceh, one of the regions most heavily-hit by the tsunami and a province that has until recently suffered nearly three decades of armed conflict. Positioning the reconstruction efforts within Aceh's multi-layered historical, cultural, socio-political and religious contexts, the authors explore diverse experiences and assessments of the reconstruction. It considers the importance of the political and religious settings of the reconstruction, the roles of communities and local non-government organisations and the challenges faced by Indonesian and international agencies. From the in-depth examination of this important case study of disaster reconstruction - significant not only because of the huge scale of the natural disaster and response but also the post-conflict issues - the editors draw together the lessons learned for the future of Aceh and make general recommendations for post-disaster and post-conflict reconstruction-making.

Aceh has become best known in our times for its twin disasters - the worst earthquake and tsunami of modern times in December 2004, and a long-running separatist conflict that rent Indonesia for most of its independent history. Although this book emerged from the process of recovery from those traumas, it turns the spotlight on a more positive and neglected claim Aceh has on our attention, as the South east Asian maritime state that most successfully and creatively maintained its independent pace in the world until 1874. Like Burma, Siam and Vietnam, all better protected by geography, Aceh has its own story to tell of a unique culture struggling for suvival through the European colonial era.
Book
Separatist Conflict in Indonesia
The socio-political activities of the Acehnese diaspora, located mainly in Malaysia, Scandinavia, the USA and Australia, have been of fundamental importance to conflict and politics within Aceh. The intensity of the relations between the diaspora and the homeland was mainly determined by the conflict that afflicted the region between 1976 and 2005, and the resulting hardship was experienced by Acehnese both at home and abroad.
This book looks at more than thirty years of long-distance politics exercised by the Acehnese diaspora both during the conflict and beyond. It interprets the social, political and cultural aspects of the small-scale conflict in Aceh, as well as focusing on the external factors related to the Acehnese overseas and their impact on homeland politics. The book goes on to contribute to the argument that the Acehnese diaspora had a significant impact on those who remained in Aceh. By focusing on the triangular relationships between the homeland, the host countries and the Acehnese diaspora, the book draws attention to the exchange of people, ideas, and financial and material resources that has occurred. It is a useful contribution to Southeast Asian Politics and Diaspora Studies.

Relationships Between Habitat Conditions, Morphometry, and Nutritional Composition of the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea Gigas) In Aceh Waters
Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a large sea area. This condition makes Aceh diverse in marine and fishery resources, including the Crassostrea gigas oyster. Currently, data on morphometric measurements to identify and develop C. gigas oyster commodities is still very limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the morphometry, habitat, and proximate composition of C. gigas oysters in the waters of Aceh. C. gigas oyster samples were collected by freely traversing various suspected oyster habitats. The search was carried out by checking for oysters attached to mangrove vegetation, wood, bridge iron, and rocks. A total of 50 C. gigas samples representing the entire population were used for morphometric analysis and nutritional composition. These water quality parameters were measured in situ with 5 repetitions, and measured where C. gigas was found. Length of C. gigas is 42.4 ± 11.6 mm, width is 29.5 ± 8.5 mm, thickness is 16.2 ± 5.7 mm, total weight is 13.1 ± 9.3 g, and meat weight is 1.4 ± 1.2 g. The effect of the length of C. gigas on the total weight of C. gigas is 51.2 %. Habitat parameter values: temperature is 31.7 ± 3.5 oC, salinity is 27.8 ± 5.8, pH is 8.0 ± 0.4, DO is 7.6 ± 2.3 mg/l, turbidity is 32.5 ± 28.0, and the substrate is muddy and sandy. Ash content is 7.2 ± 3.4 %, moisture content is 8.9 ± 4.4 %, protein content is 51.0 ± 9.9 %, fat content is 12.9 ± 3.2 %, and carbohydrate content is 20.0 ± 7.9 %. PCA analysis showed that salinity, DO, and pH parameters were more important than other parameters for the nutritional composition of C. gigas.
