Overview

This article uncovers hegemonic discourses excluding non-Muslim Indigenous groups in Riau, suggesting a decolonial approach for justice.

Key Points

  • The dominant narrative of Malay identity excludes non-Muslim Indigenous communities, creating a hegemony in Riau.
  • Indigenous resistance takes various forms, including cultural silence and adaptive identity strategies, against exclusion.
  • Using Foucault's theory of power-knowledge, this work emphasizes mechanisms of exclusion in language and policy.
  • Calls are made for re-reading Malay identity to include diverse voices, aiming for representational justice in cultural contexts.
