MENCERMATI PERUBAHAN SOSIAL MASYARAKAT MINANGKABAU MELALUI NOVEL TAMU KARYA WISRAN HADI
ABSTRACT: This study discusses
changes in the value system in West Sumatera, especially those in the
relationship between mamak and nephew in the matrilineal kinship system of the
Minangkabau people, as portrayed in Wisran Hadi’s novel Tamu. The findings of
this research show that there are parallel occurrences between Tamu and the
condition of the Minangkabau people who are experiencing changes in the value
system, especially in terms of the role of mamak in West Sumatera. The setting
of Tamu is during the New Order around the 1990s. Political factors, i.e.
development policies, during the New Order have contributed to the changes in
this value system.
