520 3 _aDescribes how under the New Order rule (1966-1998) the Indonesian state deliberately presented the growing economic conflict of the nation as an ethnic distinction between indigenous peoples and the Chinese. Argues that the "assimilation programme" was in fact designed to marginalise the Chinese minority, that Chinese were kept visible by discrimination against them, and that they were stigmatised as wealthy expropriators. The paper analyses these policies to show how ethnicity can be redefined and used by and for the state.
