Rumah Kaca

Book — Novel

And the fourth novel, Rumah Kaca, reveals the colonial government’s efforts to strike at all activities of the nationalist movement through a meticulous operation of archiving. The archive becomes the radar of the Indies administration, placed everywhere to record anything carried out by movement activists. Pram cleverly refers to this archive politics as the process of pe-rumahkaca-an—to “glasshouse” someone under surveillance.
