In expanding the discourse of sejarah rakyat (people's history) in Indonesia, Prof. John Roosa draws on his decades-long research on the 1965–66 mass violence, as well as the collective work of the Indonesian Institute of Social History (Institut Sejarah Sosial Indonesia). Building on these experiences, this lecture revisits a perennial question: who is "below" and who is "above"? It also explores how the notion of "the people" can be understood and rethought within contemporary historical writing.
