Abstract
ABSTRACT Being an Indonesian is a sociological endeavor to be constantly pursued. It takes a deliberate structural and cultural transformation that can keep a critical distance on sectarian issues manipulated to achieve a certain goal. Maluku is a part of the ethnic groups that helped with the birth of Indonesia, but in reality it is one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia. The gap raises a cliché question: is Maluku part of Indonesia? This grass root question expresses the marginalization of Maluku and is a form of corrective attitude to the Indonesian government. Through a qualitative design, this research intends to show the reality of Maluku ethnic in the historical span since it committed to be part of Indonesia until the present. The triangulation done in this research, both in terms of sources and techniques, is intended to obtain valid and credible data that can enrich the research information. Thus, the results of the research are expected to be the basis for formulating policies and reconstructing the vision of nationalism to realize the true social justice for all Indonesian people, including the people of Maluku.
