title: Eight centuries of Madurese migration to East Java.
abstract: "Over the past eight centuries in Indonesia, a substantial and ceaseless stream of out-migration has been flowing from the tiny island of Madura, poor and overpopulated, to the slightly better-off, but just as overpopulated...island of Java. This out-migration to East Java of the Madurese--Indonesia's third largest ethnic group--is one of the group's most notable features. Over the centuries, this out-migration has taken diverse forms as it has responded to varied impetus and reflects Indonesia's diverse migratory currents, past and present. This article, which is the first to be done on the subject, explores a little known aspect of Madurese history and society."
