Post-colonial Ecofeminism Perspectives in Indonesian Novels 2000 - 2015

This research aims to describe the perspective of postcolonial ecofeminism in Indonesian novels 2000–2015. This research uses qualitative methods with a postcolonial ecofeminism theory approach. The data analysis techniques in this research are (1) identification; (2) classify; (3) describe; (4) analyze; and (5) draw conclusions. The research results include four findings. First, there is the interconnection of women and nature as well as the association of women and nature described in these novels. Second, there is an interconnection between environmental degradation, marginalization of women, and resistance to the patriarchal system and capitalism in Indonesia as a postcolonial country (third world country) described in these novels. Third, the contribution of authors, both women and men, in understanding the interconnection of environmental degradation, marginalization of women, and women's resistance to patriarchal systems and capitalism in Indonesia as a postcolonial country (third world country). Fourth, neocolonialism causes ecological degradation which is illustrated by the takeover of land by companies (both local and foreign companies) and government officials for the construction of factories, housing, villas, etc., as well as mining (gold, coal, andesite, etc.) which results in environmental damage such as pollution (air and air), drought (lack of air sources), etc. Apart from that, neocolonialism gave birth to oppression based on gender, class and race. These oppression is demonstrated by the oppression and marginalization of women (both women in urban and rural areas, as well as middle and lower class women). This makes women fight against the global capitalist system.
