Abstract

Contestation is inextricably linked to “space” as an arena for squabbling over symbols that serve as markers of certain identities. And that identity can be associated with it in social groups. In some contexts, the expression of identity becomes a tool for someone as a member of a social group to realize the group’s common goals. It is interesting to note that the Javanese Deli (currently) who make up the majority of the population in North Sumatra are mostly ex-plantation contract laborers who were brought in during the plantation colonialism period. As a result, when discussing Javanese Deli culture, it cannot be separated from its sociohistorical context. The Javanese Deli cultural identity does not simply appear in the sense that the identity that they currently display and express is something that is given or given. The argument is based on the historical process of their arrival as contract laborers, social and cultural life on plantations, and life outside the plantations, where they face and interact directly with local communities.
