- Abstract
-
The rebellion of 1888 dealt with in this study occurred in the district
of Anjer in the extreme north-west of Java. Although it flared up during
a relatively short period - from the ninth until the thirtieth of July -
the social ferment which preceded the outbreak of the revolt must be
traced back to the early 'seventies. This revolt was only one of a series
of risings which took place in Banten during the 19th century and it
was also an instance of the social convulsions which were sweeping
across Java. The records of the Colonial Office for the last century
teIl of many risings and attempts at insurrections by the peasantry.l
Millenarian movements, a concomitant of social unrest and turmoil,
appeared in various parts of Java, while religious revivalism manifested
itself in the mushrooming growth of religious schools and mystico-
religious brotherhoods throughout Java. In fact, the nineteenth century
was a period of sodal unrest accompanying social change, brought about
by the growing impact of the West. - Bibliographic Citation
