: Siti Rayati takes us deep into the terrain of post-coloniality, though I will not follow a post-colonial critical approach here. Siti Rayati is a ‘quest tale’ in which a Eurasian foundling seeks, and finds, her true parentage and rises to a higher destiny in political struggle. The book carries an overt message of nationalism and declares class war on the colonial Dutch and their agents, the high priyayi who manned the Native branch of the administration. However, while it was an ideal to which by 1926 the PKI was already deeply committed, the novel stops just short of calling for national independence |
