Menelaah Konsep Nasionalime dalam Kontruksi Sejarah Nusantara

Abstract

This research aims to examine the birth of the concept of Indonesian Nationalism which was born from the diversity and plurality of the Indonesian people. Many factors give rise to nationalism, one of which is driven by the same feeling, namely colonialism which lasted several decades. What is interesting is the diversity and historical elements of the archipelago, which previously consisted of many kingdoms that experienced ups and downs from the era of Hindu-Buddhist influence to Islam. The research method uses historical research methods which consist of four stages, namely Heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The research results show that diversity does not hinder nationalism at all, one of which has been driven by modernization since education was implemented. Educated groups encourage the acceleration of nationalism through modern organizations which are used as a tool towards independence.
