"I think it behooves everyone to read a book about their past, known or otherwise. To understand how one's people came to be, the struggles of identity that existed at the beginning, somehow create a sense of comfort in your own journey to find an indentity, particularly as a bi-cultural individual.
This is a must read for anyone who considers himself/herself even remotely Indonesian. It is also a great book for those on the "outside", those whose ancestoral backgrounds have them acting as the colonizer, rather than the colonized to understand that relationship."
"Minke continues his journey as a young writer- excerpt is stolen from another book review: "Minke is in the process of recovering from the death of his wife, who was murdered by Dutch colonials, and trying to assert his voice and the voices of his people. Everywhere he turns, the colonial forces and the all-powerful sugar companies build walls against his words. He struggles over which language to write in and which plights to address--there are so many languages, so many castes, and so many problems. In the end, Minke and his beloved mother-in-law are still trapped within their society but have gained a greater understanding of the possibilities of independence and stronger voices with which to shout""
"good reading,smart, bittersweet, life is unfair, never give up, speak the truth till your last breath, love your nation, dont get blinded of western culture they are not better than us, the country that they claimed as third world... the above statements are the core of this book. semakin dibaca rangkaian tetralogi pulau buru ini semakin capture my attention. cara Pramoedya merangkai masalah dengan tutur bahasa yang ringan membuat pembaca tidak menyadari bahwa saya sedang membaca dan mengikuti banyak intrik dari suatu kejadian. di buku ini masih mengisahkan mengenai Minke, Nyai Ontosoroh dan ada tokoh baru yang cukup mempengaruhi pikiran Minke Khouw ah sie. ketidak adilan bagi pribumi tidak kunjung datang di akhir buku ini, belanda sebagai warga kelas satu pada akhirnya akan tetap memenangkan sebuah perkara bagaimanapun kuatnya. pribumi tidak pernah menang di pengadilan orang kulit putih, sama seperti di buku pertama ketika Annelies harus meninggalkan suami, mama , keluarga dan negerinya."
"Saya membaca edisi Indonesia-nya setelah diterbitkan kembali. Cerita Annelis yang 'dibuang' ke Belanda, lantas meninggal. Juga tentang pergolakan petani tebu dan pabrik gula. Di sini, Pram semakin menjadi-jadi. Pemikirannya terasa semakin tajam dari buku sebelumnya, "Bumi Manusia".
Memang terlampau banyak surat di dalamnya, tetapi mungkin memang demikian untuk memasukkan semua ide yang bergelinjang. Surat-surat yang padat luar biasa. Minke pun berubah dari sekadar pribumi lulusan HBS menjadi pribadi yang berusaha mengerti rakyatnya sendiri. Meski ia kemudian paham, "Segala yang dari kolonial, tetaplah busuk."
